The absolute skills of @LauraAikman playing the truly dreadful Sonia in the wonderful #GavinAndStacey. She has to be entirely plausible and we must despise her at the same time. In a heartwarming comedy. An acting job full of pitfalls. Aikman nails it, doesn't put a foot wrong.
If you weren’t close to tears when Smithy waited for Mick’s approval at that wedding then I don’t know! Best scene ever in Gavin and Stacey and it’s not even close👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Christmas is one of the worst periods of the year for domestic violence and murder.
Not the most festive idea but I thought I'd sit down to list names of women and girls killed over Christmas in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.
So they are not forgotten this Christmas. /1
An immediate thing I did as a headteacher, was remove all displays from corridors & classrooms.
They were largely tatty & the oldest was 6 years old.
Staff breathed a sigh of relief.
Children said it looked ‘nice & clean”.
Talent refocused.
Learning prioritised.
