Thank you @karenlangtree for signing my daughter's copy of Fairy Rescuers, it is keeping her company during isolation and she says it's her favourite, favourite thing!

With no pay for holiday, sickness, training or maternity/paternity why are this government clobbering self employed contractors when they should go after the googles, Starbucks and Amazons of this world? I joined my constituent Albert at #StopTheOffPayrollTax demo to stop #IR35

Jesus. For god’s sake vote this week & please don’t vote this man into power. For the NHS, for your friends, for anyone who wasn’t born into exceptional amounts of privilege with a blank cheque to behave and speak without consequence, apology or empathy.
I took to the streets to ask people what they thought about statements made by a certain someone...

Totally forgot to take a photo of brilliant musicians for #chambertots workshop today @WigmoreLearning, Luke Newby, Laura Casas and Jonathan Radford. So here's their aquatic counterparts - we went Under The Sea! Not saying who is which. It's obvious.

I am good at hiding in photos. Even though I'm hiding here I am seriously excited and delighted to be one of the leaders for Chamber Tots at Wigmore Hall this year. The musicians are incredible. Can't wait. #earlyyearsmusic #chambermusic #learningandparticipation
👏Introducing our brilliant team of leaders and musicians for the 19/20 Chamber Tots workshops! 👏 Thank you to everyone who engaged in the training day last week, we loved your creative thinking and look forward to seeing how your workshops develop over the coming year! 🎶🥁

Incredible thank you card from a mum and toddler at #Kayrowenursery for #theacornproject @StratfordCircus and my last day there as Musician in Residence. Tears all round!

YES! This was totally brilliant. Let's continue making children wear tea towels on their heads for many years. (And sing self written songs about Bible stories beautifully)
Here are the first pictures from our concert in Westminster Cathedral last week. 500 children singing a musical about St. Paul, written by the children themselves. @wcchoiroutreach @CSAChoir @WestminsterCath @wcchoir @hannahleking @Pennyformusic

So happy to hear Barbara Trapido on #YoureBooked talk with love about the Sadlers Wells books - I was in love with Sebastian too! Thank you @NotRollergirl

Dear @jeremycorbyn, I BEG you to resign. If you want to appear in the history books as someone who tried to serve his country, this is the way to do it. Step aside, for a moderate, electable @UKLabour leader and perhaps we can save our country. Please RT if you agree.

Boy picks up book "Don't call me sweet" and I read out the title. He smiles winningly and replies "but I have to, Penny, you are so sweet." You have far too much charm for a 4 year old. #funnykids #teacher #musicbringsjoy #childrensbooks

Working on bringing in techniques from #helicopterstories into EY music today, resulted in a 4yo girl designing, casting on the spot and narrating an opera about 3 fish and a shark. #progress #creativity #musicandstory @Creative_fut @MakeBelieveArts @TrishaLeeWrites @isla_hill

My kids went to sleep at 20.20. It's 22.00 and I'm still dicking about on the stairs outside their rooms on my phone having done some work, done some Instagram, taken a phone call... GO DOWNSTAIRS AND GET THE WINE YOU FOOL

I swear I will take all the slime. All of it. Burn it. And get really high off the fumes. And I'll laugh. While all the children cry. (Not really this is a joke. But I do hate the slime.) #slimewoes #mumswithslimeaddicts

First #EYpractitioner #CPD in Luton today @Creative_fut on #characteristicsofeffectivelearning So interesting to think about how we can welcome #freedom and #discovery in an adult led session for under 5s

Loved training for early years with #louiseklarnett and @isla_hill @MakeBelieveArts. Can't wait to try elements of movement and storytelling in my practice. Thanks @Creative_fut
