With just £146 to go, my Alphabet of Swims fundraiser for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social is running close to its total. The race is on - will we meet the target or complete the challenge first?

I'm looking forward to lots of fun teaching people to make her own linoprint record labels this weekend at Lakefest - as well as hearing from Echo and the Bunnymen, Faithless, Busted and many more.
We have a few discount tickets available if you fancy joining us. Give us a shout.

Hey #Cornwall and #Wildswimming people.
I'm getting close to the end of my #AlphabetOfSwims raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians - and I need your help.
I still have to find locations for
J
N
O
U
and Z.
'Z' for Zennor seems obvious, but can you think of somewhere for any of the others?

I'm excited to have a chapter in this excellent book from Aimee Tinkler.

This cactus is going insane. I found it uprooted and discarded by the side of the road and gave it a home. It has decided to grow along, not up, and is sending out adventitious roots like anyones business. What does it want that I'm not giving it? Does it want support? Food? What even is it?

When a student is finished with school and moves into adult life, she will be judged not by her ability to perform on a teat of basic skills, but by the quality of her work and her character.

It's the actual Ron Berger leading off our @wholeeducation.bsky.social conference. More than 500 people hearing him remind us that schools aren't just places where young people get good exam results or learn how to be polite, they are places where they become citizens and learn to change the world.

What's this? I've been nominated for the @justgiving.bsky.social Awards. I've raised a few pounds for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social but nowhere near as much as would like to. Could you help boost? There is so much need. share.google/pYCFdddWAi5X...
