Awwww just want to do a shout out for the amazing Suzy @LocksbrookInn for being an amazing landlady and supporting our grieving local community. Dawn would have been so touched at the kindness of folk.
Many of you donated to my fundraisers for Dawn and Mason a couple of years back. Dawn fought so hard but sadly died on wednesday. She wanted me to share these tips in her memory. Please make your house sparkle this weekend and donate to @RUHBath Dyson Cancer Care who were fab.
Need to do big shout out for @SW_Help surbiton station staff who went out of their way two days running to help me with my massive training holdalls. They were so kind and brilliant and made my journey so much easier.
Was so excited to be seeing @holliepoetry tonight. Was hoping to get her to sign pink or blue session in our book she kindly let us use. But after a party of 9year olds yday I have noro I’m puking guts up,can’t even keep water down. Absolutely gutted. Sending @bjh_ip on his own
This is June she has been teaching adults to swim for many years at Kingswood school in Bath, often covering the pool rental cost herself at quiet times. She’s a gem doing an amazing job. I popped in just to say hi to her two classes tonight & drop some tips 👍🏾💦🏊🏻🏊♂️🏊♀️
Doing a shout out for Blended Kitchen on englishcombe lane, delicious smoothies and juices and run by an amazing SEND mama of 3 and a friend of mine. @WeLoveBath everyone should check it out.
Evidence from educational studies shows that students thrive in environments where they feel emotionally safe and intellectually stimulated. Lemov’s rigid methods fail to provide this. (NEA, 2016).
Just to say that within minutes of Kate Kniveton having lost her seat, she messaged me to ask me to carry on her work on family courts. Not my party, but that my friends, is what a decent representative would do.
Bridgerton has done consent really well this season. Initially I was really irritated by Colin’s: “This may hurt. I cannot help it I promise. But it should only be this first time” because it felt like it reinforcing idea that first time sex for a female is likely to hurt.
There is a section in screwball too that can help. Boy: it’s supposed to hurt for girls isn’t it? Girl: why do you think I would be here if it’s supposed to hurt! m.youtube.com/watch?v=OC7xv3… so it’s important to unpick notions about first sex with young people “cherry popping” etc.
Evidence shows when YP have high quality sex Ed that helps them unpack this stuff they are more likely to have sex at a later age and for that sex to be consensual. Knowledge is power. We have to get this right for the next generation and the current draft RSHE must not get in.
