My lovely dad passed away this week. It’s been difficult. We found this poem amongst his funeral bits. My mum didn’t know how it got there so my dad must have found it and left it for us. I’ll be reading it at his funeral.

I’ve learned a lot about myself this week.

Been a great coaching day today. Morning spent with a Headteacher I know well and followed this afternoon by the first session with an Executive Director of Education. It’s been a good one!

The Yorkshire puddings came out well. 🙌
My thoughts are with those affected by the mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ club in Colorado. With that and the football world club in an overtly anti-LGBTQ+ country, life doesn’t feel massively safe for LGBTQ+ people.
I was going to do the usual Good Morning post to you all, but then I heard about the shooting at the LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado.
I just want to say each of you is so loved and essential to the world. I know I want to scream, rage and it will take time to process.
To my LGBTQ+ family: I love you so much. We are not the problem. Stay safe and look out for each other. We deserve a better society. We will get there.❤️‍🩹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽

Here’s a bonus toot. I’ll give a free virtual author visit to any school/library who wants one if you can work out how to follow me and ask. (Fairly confident in my lack of followers that this won’t be a problem) #schools #education #literacy #childrensbook #edutoot #kidslit Can you retoot? Be my guest!
Looking forward to spending the day group coaching with a senior education team today. Should be a good one! #edutoot #coaching #leadershipcoaching
