Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending the day with the @LondonFire Red Watch in Croydon, getting a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work they do.

A huge thank you to the whole crew for welcoming me and letting me see first-hand what it takes to do the job.

After 48 years of service, beloved Lewisham lollipop lady Sheila Richards, 88, has hung up her hi-vis for the last time 💔

She’s been a fixture outside John Stainer Primary since the 1970s - now retiring after the council ends school crossing patrols.

Thank you, Sheila ❤️

In November 2024, six people died from suspected methanol poisoning at a bar in Vang Vieng, Laos, as a result of consuming contaminated alcohol.

One of whom was Simone White – a 28-year-old lawyer from Orpington, who was backpacking with her best friend Bethany Clarke.

[Poppy 🍒 @PoppyHuggett]

Now living in Brisbane, Bethany, also 28, has launched a petition to raise awareness about the dangers of methanol poisoning and bootleg alcohol, calling for essential education in UK schools to prevent future tragedies.
