@MandSnews Not sure if this is the right place, I have some amazing Indian recipes that I would love to see on your shelves, it would be a dream come true! How can I get the ball rolling? 🙏
@blashbrooke Hello! I stumbled on this book just by chance and can’t put it down! So many nuggets that I will take away to improve my work life balance. Even better, I realised that this has been written by someone I know… I taught the lovely Maisy. What a great book! Thank you!
@FloellaBenjamin
I was really moved by your words at the Worcester diocese conference today! It brought back so many memories of my own childhood watching my parents navigate life in Britain in the 1980s. You are an inspiration, thank you xx
Purposely put my head together with Rob on this one to think about what would be a useful giveaway this time of year. I know it would be immense if I had a class set of this, and thus, voila. Get involved!
I grew up on a Council Estate and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion.
We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group.
We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes and vegetables - (which were not an optional choice). No vegetables, no dessert!!!
We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money.
We by no means were given everything we wanted.
We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming.
We rarely just sat inside.
Bottled water was unheard of.
If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle and we didn’t break the bottle when finished.
We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet.
After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over.
We would ride our bikes for hours.
We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with and be home when the street lights came on!
You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing.
What they said was LAW and you did not question it and you had better know it!
We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline!
We held doors, carried the shopping and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked.
You didn’t hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV.
“Please and Thank you”, were part of our daily vocabulary! 💯
The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.
Consider Re-posting if you’re thankful for your childhood.
I will never forget where I came from and only wish children nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with!
And we were never ever ever ever bored 💯

@diana_osagie A brilliant book which I would recommend to any leader! So much of what Diane writes about resonated with my own values and practice and I’m sure of many other new leaders. Not only did I find comfort from this book but also solutions! A great xmas gift to myself!
