Replying to @KatHarbourne @tobyfoster @BBCYork @BBCSheffield @BBCLeeds
Toby could give tight bloody Yorkshiremen a bad name. Of course it is nice to say thanks. Chocolates, biscuits or a bottle of wine. Not a mug with "Best teacher eva" on.

Ah, so it wasn't a dream... Bloody delighted to have scooped my first ever @catsawards for my music/sound on Ragnarok. @TortoiseinaNut. Thanks @joycemcm @Dominic_Corr91 et al for the recognition. Perhaps I ought to finish recording the OST and get it online, hey?!

I've just finished @AshleyJBaptiste's book and I feel sick. Please please can someone tell me we do better for foster children now? EVERY child is worthy of love, affection, cuddles, praise and unconditional acceptance. Ashley, I hope you feel worthy of all of these things.

I think the thing I find hardest is that this isn't an account of someone overcoming severe abuse (which wpuld be awful also), but what feels like regular ongoing emotional neglect by those who willingly choose a profession/vocation which purports to support children.

It leads me to question how we can improve the 'system' from within. I want to do everything in my power to help the children in our care but I am just one person. Why aren't more people becoming foster carers? I have lots of questions and few answers.

You should definitely do this.

Excitement in our house today as @AshleyJBaptiste's new book dropped through the door. It's so important that every child is able to see someone in the world who can help them tell - and understand - their own story. EVERYONE can be part of the change we want to see.
