Couldn’t get to Cornwall this summer. So I’ll just have to read myself there.

Me and Finn unboxing our first picture book. Not a great video, but, what I think is a great book, thanks largely to @CarolinaRabei and her wonderful illustrations. Signed copies pre-orderable from my local indie, @thoughtfulspots. thethoughtfulspotbooks.com/product-page/w…

I’ve rented a studio in a mill in Halifax. I’ve a serious rewrite to do for @BarringtonStoke and need some headspace. Hope you like how I’ve done it up.

I wasn’t elected on a manifesto to slash billions from disabled people’s benefits - and nor was any other Labour MP.

To all English Leads and EYFS staff, this short read by @MichaelRosenYes is an absolute MUST READ! michaelrosenblog.blogspot.com/2025/07/how-do… Reading stories to chn & chatting with them about what has been read so that reading for meaning takes place is essential. It's not just about phonics!
