We celebrate the life of our friend and Bridge, Greg Farrell. He was gentle, deep, and blessed us with his wisdom and affection. “If you are ever lost,” he once shared in the Circle, “follow the river. The river knows the way home.”

After 3 years working with the wonderful people @blastfilms tonight sees the end of #GrowingUpGifted. Needless to say, child poverty remains one of the great injustices of our times, not enough has changed since #Dickens discussed it in 1800s. Please watch 9pm @BBCTwo tonight.

"His infinite smile invited you at once to have fun and do your best work." Thankful I got to absorb a tiny piece of his joy while sitting next to him at National Conference once. ❤️ https://t.co/NPLxROu5XV

@KimSomerville @Walsall_Academy @ABTAtravel Every school should have a Jon Clarke (@Walsall_Academy), Steve Dool (was @NestonHigh now @CLOtC) or Martin Smith (@GreenwoodAcad & @theoeap) - so passionate about the benefits of educational visits and tours.

Throw back Thursday.

It seems a while ago the Year 7 students from @johntaylorhigh were thoroughly enjoying their Outward Bound Expedition.

[The Outward Bound Trust @OutwardBoundUK]

Outward Bound has been there to help young people face challenge and manage uncertainty for almost 80 years. This is now needed more than ever before. We are determined to continue to do what we can, taking into account latest government advice. #outwardbound #morethanyouthink

Niblo is making sure I stay healthy and demands I entertain him in exchange... cats 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

In a period of uncertainty and disruption, this anniversary offers us a timely opportunity to reflect, as the Stoics did, on the courage and resilience of human beings. Marcus Aurelius' advice should bring comfort as we change our lifestyles and try to adapt to the pandemic.

[KLong OBT @klong_obt]

@saidthemac All best to you and yours Martin. Good luck.

[KLong OBT @klong_obt]
