The incredible Oshwel Centre in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. A Jain temple that's well worth a visit during the summer. The centre welcomes curious visitors.

I just showed my husband this and asked him to tell me where in the world it was… his guess was India.

He’s from North London/Hertfordshire and we lived nearby for 15ish years - so we know Potters Bar well - and had no idea.

Adds to bucket list…

First time as a SATs parent this week! Double whammy of eldest in Y6 and youngest in Y2 is doing the optional assessments to take advantage of the quiet, calm atmosphere the school creates in this week! Already had the first dojo update with a very smiley boy (pic of his in-school support system!)

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 5 minutes. A Black man beating a racist’s record πŸ™ŒπŸΌ There’s some great quotes amongst those 25+ hours but "I'm not going to let my inability to do everything undermine my ability to do something" really stands out.

Totally agree Dawn. This was definitely my experience. There are systematic problems and one of those are accountability in these situations.

Interesting data here, but also some helpful VoxPops from people of different religious viewpoints. Would make a good classroom resource for considering the impact of belief on action.

6 years ago but still makes me beam with pride every time this photo shows up in my Facebook memories.

My amazing choir sang, This Is Me, in St Albans Abbey and it was such a joy. ❀️

Secondary school offer day so my stomach is in knots.

He’s got his first choice which is a relief as it’ll be where his friends go and the bus goes from the end of our road etc.

But with a high-anxiety, sensory processing profile, neurodivergent child - the start of a tricky transition journey
