Just another school day.

Mr Moir hosted Jerry Dammers, Mick Jones, Denis Bovell and Wayman Bennett from Love Music. We had such fun whilst fighting fascism in all of its past and current forms.

Up early for the brilliant #MuseumofLiverpool event. Such a shame I didn’t get to photograph the fantastic WREN show then made sure I got back to see the amazing @msquinnhistory.bsky.social - she is such an expert on Ireland. Truly inspiring.
