My daughter is extremely cute... She's 14 and has loved the investigators books by @johngreenart since 2020 when she was 8. We're queuing up to see him at #LondonChildrensLiteratureFestival and she's really excited. The teenager has disappeared and the excited 8 yr old is back!

It's 8 years since my grandma died, so the whole family have been sharing pics etc. Someone shared a recording from the 90s. It's the first time I've seen my dad in anything other than a picture for 21 years. I wasn't expecting this today... knocked me for 6 in my lunch break.

A local woods has got a collection of painted stones. Hundreds of the buggers! There are different collections: books, cartoons, flowers, seasons, animals etc I decided to add my own collection. Old school hip hop stones... #MiddleClassDadRebellion

Primary English In Action is a combination of the invaluable expertise of so many individuals. I’m incredibly grateful to all the teachers who contributed a quote, teaching strategy or case study to this book. There are nuggets of wisdom to be found throughout. 1/2

I've had her for 4 years but this is my first solo trip to the pub with her. Dropped the kids off a scouts, 5 km walk, they love still got 30 moms left... No brainer. This might become a weekly treat. East Anglia's pub of the year too according to CAMRA!

Just went out for a run. I've never been stopped in my tracks by a smell... A house was cooking fish - badly! I had to stop because I was gagging so hard. I couldn't get back into my rhythm. God that was awful!

The eternal struggle of a teacher/parent/bookworm... It's the last day of the holidays so I know I should be doing something nice with my family, but... I really want to finish my book!

Pretty sure it's the law that if you buy a new frying pan, you have to test it by making pancakes...

Peer pressure in reverse... Just offered my wife a glass of wine. She asked for a tea instead... I've been convinced so I'm enjoying a tea instead of a wine. Bloody goody two shoes influencer

It's transition day at school tomorrow. One of our reception children children told their teacher "But I don't want a new mummy, I want you forever!" Lesson 1 in how to make a teacher cry 🤣

Not sure how my wife wangled this one... My son washed my car as a father's day treat. I showed him how to by washing my wife's at the same time. Now she's got a beautiful shiny car, and I've got a car where the dirt has just been moved to new areas...
