@geogramblings @BBCRadioLincs @redarrows We’ve been waiting for them in sunny Ipswich, but no joy!

#ClapForCarers on the streets of Ipswich. Before the applause, we saw the blue lights of an ambulance rushing by. And later, the yellow lights of an AA recovery vehicle. All out there selflessly serving. We salute you. Thank you. #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForKeyWorkers #clapforNHS

@florentine_in Good for you, Florentine. Your clay hearts look super. My daughter (aged 7 years) has put rainbow art in our front window. And she, like you, has been busy in the garden and kitchen. Love from our Suffolk home to yours.

Using maths in the kitchen with a spot of measuring and weighing.

@scribblersdrey in your book, I recall you mention #stayingathome with your children for a prolonged period, due to illness. And that this isolation was an unexpected time of love, nurture & happy hours in the garden. Could you remind me, Lisa, of the quote (as library is closed)

[Fiona Doggett @fionadoggett]

An awesome free resource for parents who suddenly find themselves homeschooling, struggling with long-forgotten times tables & fractions. Give yourselves a break from the enforced curriculum. Have fun with these maths activities, suitable for setting up at home. #homeschooling

@Sophiegoddard My daughter's former school, St Helen's Primary School, in Ipswich, Suffolk - have two therapy dogs who listen to the children read. https://t.co/S12f0Osz5u

Here's a Friday treat for you, Twitter folks! 🙌

Finished copies of @ABagForKatie's It's a No-Money Day have landed in the office and it is BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL and IMPORTANT 💫

Coming October.

[Fiona Doggett @fionadoggett]

@FatherReading It's super & inspirational what you're doing. My kids read a bedtime story with Daddy every day, too. Over time, it's become a punctuation mark to close the day. All our books are from @SuffolkLibrary. So grateful for the [free reservations] service they provide. #savelibraries

Absolutely LOVING this #BearHunt #ClimateStrike placard from @pilgrim_hodgson over in Oz! Wow!

There is no planet B, change is needed NOW! 💪🏼✨

My 7 year old and 4 year old showed up for #ClimateStrike in Ipswich. #YouthStrike4Climate #UniteForClimate.

@Rich_Smythe Reminds me of Mabel, local resident tawny owl of @ChristchurchPk, hooting in our garden at bedtime. https://t.co/3sQHNku6zP

A very necessary book, tenderly written and so beautifully executed https://t.co/gekmRcCjXi #JulianIsAMermaid @Jessica67755257 @BIGPictureBooks

‘Sometimes it’s precisely those spots where one no longer feels anything of what’s known as the civilized world – sometimes it’s precisely those spots that one needs to achieve calm’. Van Gogh wrote beautifully about what nature meant to him. https://t.co/rCgiEUM31N

@scribblersdrey From one Suffolk homeschooler to another, I thought you'd like to know that I've checked your book out of @ipswichlibrary half-a-dozen times. Inspired to create a nature-play garden as I imagine yours to be. So far a visiting fox, resident robin and nesting collared doves.

[Fiona Doggett @fionadoggett]

@holliejhughes Spotted your book @Wstonesipswich today, perched on prominent shelving, looking enticing! @SarahMassini

[Fiona Doggett @fionadoggett]

@airedaletales Oh, how I miss East Sands and West Sands. Good to think homeschooling is happening on these beaches. My kids build shingle castles in sunny Felixstowe, Suffolk.

[Fiona Doggett @fionadoggett]

@Edspire We had similar fun with cut-out paper flower fairies. So lovely. https://t.co/Hdwda2H3ug
