On my way home from #CA2025. A great couple of days of inspiring talks and time spent with friends in the most beautiful surroundings.

Thank you very much! It was great fun to do and I thought the whole panel was really interesting.

Unfortunately not sure Titchmarsh is subtle enough to have slid some stealth criticism in…

Well I’m starting from Durham but I’m getting the train to Edinburgh then another train to Leuchars and then the bus to St Andrews. When I flew from Bristol before I did the same onward from Edinburgh. It’s an out of the way spot and no mistake!

This is known at my school as β€œMs Rostron’s least favourite meme”.

The Nikolai Yezhov removed from the photo with Stalin after he was purged, but memefied with Trump and Musk.

What a lovely note - although it does make me wonder what on earth I’ve been telling them 🀣

What a super gift from Year 11 Latin to whom I’ve been teaching the City of Rome GCSE topic - a home-made cookie on which they had iced a remarkably accurate depiction of the Circus Maximus!

Accidentally started watching Henry V over breakfast and now can’t tear ourselves away. Rockpools beckon but god the acting in this film is superb.

On holiday and really enjoying cliff-top walks listening to @alexpodyssey.bsky.social And knowing my brain as I do, I will now forever associate the myth of Echo and Narcissus with the coastal path at Woolacombe.

Just wrote 800 words fuelled by the gorgeous coffee and croissants of CafΓ© Meraki in Woolacombe. 10/10 would come again!

Please go to Hummels! It’s utterly charming and you can get a schnitzel the size of your head and watch the nice elderly ladies play cards.
