@LNER Ah, good to know. Called your customer services yesterday evening, poor guy sounded a bit confused and was only able to repeat info on the website.

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

@LNER can you explain why your 8:32 train from Aviemore is still cancelled when the fault was cleared hours ago?…

How fabulous is this? Such a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the @PTIEducation English Subject Residential this past weekend: so heartening to witness and be part of CPD that is genuinely inspiring and invigorating for teachers, reconnecting with love for the subject ❤️

Just putting the finishing touches on my theatre-based Shakespeare workshop for @PTIEducation's Subject Enrichment Residential this weekend: got a fun and active session for you with lots of practical takeaways- can't wait!

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

A massive shout out is needed to BSA Education Officer @karenmcgivern19 for organising this day, and advocating for teachers to have an inclusive, low-cost way to be part of #BSA2024 through these online sessions

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

the #BSA2024 party continues with our online teacher day. So far had an invigorating session from @SSF_UK on active approaches to Anthony and Cleopatra

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

And finally I had just had a fabulous time sharing ideas from a work in progress project on The Winter's Tale, using theatre-based activities to look at questions of place/ecology, the nature of forgiveness and how/why we tell (Shakespeare's) stories. #BSA2024

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

No, YOU bought a pdf of your *own book* because it was easier than trying to find the finalised version wherever it finally landed between your laptop, dropbox and googledrive...

[Dr Jen Kitchen @MomentsofGuffaw]

When you can't make it to #BSA2024 but your book does❤️ https://t.co/CIoXsAOtSb
