This coffee shop employs people with Down syndrome to show the world that everyone deserves a chance.

We need more of this.

Today, we remember the animals who served beside soldiers — loyal, brave, and silent heroes 💜🐴 🐾🫏

I SPOKE TO YOU IN WHISPERS
by Neil Andrew

I spoke to you in whispers
As shells made the ground beneath us quake
We both trembled in that crater
A toxic muddy bloody lake
I spoke to you and pulled your ears
To try and quell your fearful eye
As bullets whizzed through the raindrops
And we watched the men around us die
I spoke to you in stable tones
A quiet tranquil voice
At least I volunteered to fight
You didn't get to make the choice
I spoke to you of old times
Perhaps you went before the plough
And pulled the haycart from the meadow
Far from where we're dying now
I spoke to you of grooming
Of when the ploughman made you shine
Not the shrapnel wounds and bleeding flanks
Mane filled with mud and wire and grime
I spoke to you of courage
As gas filled the Flanders air
Watched you struggle in the mud
Harness acting like a snare
I spoke to you of peaceful fields
Grazing beneath a setting sun
Time to rest your torn and tired body
Your working day is done
I spoke to you of promises
If from this maelstrom I survive
By pen and prose and poetry
I'll keep your sacrifice alive
I spoke to you of legacy
For when this hellish time is through
All those who hauled or charged or carried
Will be regarded heroes too
I spoke to you in dulcet tones
Your eye told me you understood
As I squeezed my trigger to bring you peace
The the only way I could
And I spoke to you in whispers.....

We will remember them 💜

@PeverellTom @SoVeryBritish I once told a class that I lived in the cupboard and they believed me. It was a very big cupboard but even so!

Have you noticed some lighter early evenings this week?

🌅 Daylight hours are lengthening by around 3-5 minutes each day and it's only just over a month until the spring equinox - the dark days of winter will soon be over for another year.

A great morning @CheltCollege talking to parents as part of their ‘Pastoral Perspectives’ event. Thank you to all the parents that came to listen to me and for your response. Always a treat to catch up with @ican_and_iam too. #education #awareness #tacklingstigma

I'm actually shaking with anger.. 😡😡 Just popped to my local @asda in Bridgwater, Somerset and found that they put bloody anti-bird netting up.. and look, there's already a dead pigeon caught in it!!! 😡😡
Not sure if the Gull is caught or not.. TAKE THE BLOODY NETTING DOWN!!

@MissOwen18 I keep saying, "does that make sense", which is fine to check understanding but I say in constantly! 🤦🏼‍♀️
