I rather like this Bubble Bobble Beanie. Thank you Kristin @StudioKnitSF for the pattern! K4B took me a while to learn but worth it in the end. 👏🧶

I’m devouring this entertaining, fascinating and hugely enjoyable book about the heyday of BBC Children’s TV, by @richardmarson2 Lots of info, behind the scenes power, politics and gossip. Definitely one for Christmas 🎁👏
I’ve just finished binge-listening to this lovely @audibleuk audiobook, beautifully written and read by @malprin Lots of facts, and behind the scenes stories about the wonderful, fascinating, and much missed Paul O’Grady. Definitely one for Christmas!🎁👏
Today marks the 60th anniversary of Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds. I was obsessed as a kid - and even now would choose it as my Mastermind subject. I even have the T-shirt… 😂 FAB #Thunderbirds @fanderson2126

In a previous life I led a company supporting disadvantaged gifted children & their teachers, so was delighted to see this beautiful interview with the late Duchess of Kent about her passion and work with @FutureTalentUK youtu.be/yTLOA_eZsAc?si=aRqt… ❤️ RIP Mrs Kent

Very sorry to hear that my former colleague Biddy Baxter, the formidable legend of BBC Children’s TV, has died. I last saw her a few years ago when we bumped into each other near Broadcasting House. She was on good form. RIP Biddy.

The perfect end to a fantastic year of student achievement! 🥳💜
We recently held our annual B&FC Student of the Year Awards, a showcase event that was attended by around 180 colleagues, partners, students and guests who got to hear inspiring individual success stories and to create some fantastic memories.
Attendees were welcomed with opening remarks from Alun Francis who ran through some of the many highlights of the past academic year at B&FC. Afternoon Tea was then served up as our awards winners were finally revealed.
Co-presenters Rachel Crane, Vice Principal Strategy, Student and Special Projects and Peter Greenall, Vice Principal for Higher Education, expertly led the audience through our shortlists and prize winners across 14 ‘Gold Awards’.
These are for young learners (under 19) who stood out for a wide range of reasons after meeting an initial benchmark of excellent attendance, functional skills and Silver on their Personal Development Plans.
Congratulations to all of our nominees and winners once again and good luck to those moving on to their next steps outside of Blackpool and The Fylde College. 💜
