Am in my red frock and heading to Folkestone for this year’s Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever. Where hundreds of women and a few men dress up and dance, and pay homage to the strange genius of Kate Bush. I don’t think I could be much happier.

Bridget Phillipson, the image may look playful, but the message is serious. You’re being ill-advised on early learning. Play isn’t soft. It is learning. Children show writing, maths & thinking skills through play. So don’t take play away. Come & observe it. #PlayMatters
