Geeking out this afternoon, listening to @mattquinnmusic.bsky.social chatting to @helenlindley.bsky.social about one of the Child ballads, which may or may not feature a sentient carrot. Which had me drifting off thinking about the Aldi advertising team. Closet Child ballad fans?

You can see lots of great folk at great festivals around the country but Sidmouth is THE festival to go to if you want to 'DO' Folk!
It's not just the 250+ workshops covering song, dance and music but the magical, informal sessions that pop up all over the town during festival week.

I’m a serial supporter of charities. But I’ve just abandoned my one off payment to a charity because of the prolonged and tedious online payment process.
All the effort their marketing/fundraising teams took to get me there. Wasted. So important to look at the whole donor journey.

Latest research from Marie Curie suggests we are going to see a 25% increase in people needing palliative care by 2043. Funding needs to be sorted as a matter of urgency.
Really pleased to say I am
presenting an ITV programme on hospice and end of life care.
Since my mum received hospice care a decade ago I’ve been investigating the state of the sector and its lack of funding.
Keeping Care Alive: Hospices in Crisis? will air on ITV, 8:30pm, Thursday 28th November
