@Lucy_Huxley @VirginVoyages "Never marry someone who doesn't like dogs." This proved to be sound advice. 😆

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

Beautiful quote about Sinead's voice from @JohnELewis: ""Rock and roll singers have always tended to express their emotional disarray through grit, gut and vibrato. It's about losing control, babbling in tongues, exploiting the catch in the throat, the punky snarl, the bluesy holler, the funky howl. Sinead O'Connor's voice is nothing like that. It's as pure as a choirboy's: a frictionless, spectral, vibrato-free instrument that expresses emotion in sudden somersaults, folksy curlicues and abrupt leaps in register. For all the vulnerability, she's always in control."

@SchoolofETHM Amazing. Congratulations. Well deserved.

[ABTA Members @ABTAMembers]

One of the biggest challenges facing travel businesses coming out of the pandemic has been recruiting and retaining staff. As such this has also been an important focus of ABTA’s work in recent years.

Loving this session on mentoring allyship. Mentoring is definitely a reciprocal learning journey which I've seen first hand through our #ABTAStudentReps programme.
