Chartered school librarian and tabby cat lover. Will do (almost) anything to get teens reading. High jinks may ensue.

Visited 2 great houses who had the same plasterer 500 years ago who insisted on these very stylised boobies 🤣@Longleat @NThardwick

@AHTMrsD I’m so grateful for the work you did with us. Empowering the leading of reading.

[Alison Edwards @ALibraryscience]

@mrsbettysbooks Mine too. It drives me crazy

[Alison Edwards @ALibraryscience]

@mrsbettysbooks We have recently introduced them but are giving the students the choice. I’m putting them on the desk and allowing students to use if they wish.

@PrincipalTASE @MrBCurrier That training is a real investment. We have three trained at the moment, but only one actually delivering it. Yours truly

I absolutely love reading about that encounter on the way to Emmaus. How the ‘scales fell’ from their eyes and that they RAN back to tell the other disciples. May we recognise Christ wherever we see Him.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

If the two disciples of Emmaus recognize Jesus when He breaks the bread for them, we too should recognize Him in this way. Not just in the Eucharist, but wherever there is a life that becomes broken bread, wherever someone makes a compassionate gift of themselves, like He did. With the grace of the Risen Christ, we can become this broken bread that transforms reality. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:13–35) #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Spent a lovely morning @NThardwick and an afternoon cross-checking timetables. A long job but worth it to make sure students are in the right set. Onwards and upwards!

Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.

The Prime Minister needs to call off the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The Artemis II astronauts were all smiles on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. The death on the cross was once and for all. The resurrection broke the chains of death and hell and Christ welcomes all of us. However you choose to spend this day, I send love and peace

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!
