So my workplace doesn’t use x anymore. So I won’t be tweeting on here anymore.
Was fun. 🙂

Lego - these brick insects are such a great idea. Are they still made from oil though?

[LEGO @LEGO_Group]

We’ve got butterflies in our stomachs just looking at these incredible insects…🦋Learn more about what they’re up to and listen to the green noise soundtrack at https://t.co/zjgafKI7oC

With today’s GCSE results falling back to the ‘normality’ of 2019, surely it’s time for vocational GCSEs to be considered as alternatives. Teacher assessment throughout the year plays a big part to those who do not do well in exams.

It’s always nice to get a card from a learner at Christmas. This one takes the prize for the ‘best flat chocolate in a card’ award. Bless. Merry Christmas! @coleggwent #chocolate #goals #christmas #joy

A bevy, bank or flock of swans on the Monmouthshire canal near Malpas, heading to socially provoke some ducks for their feeding grounds…

This little false widow spider was busy in the shed recently!

@LIVGolfInv let’s just embrace it and let the shots do the talking. If it fails then maybe the players can make a charitable donation to earn back their place on the @PGATOUR

[Chris Carey @myworkingweek]

I love my walk to work in the mornings near Usk, Monmouthshire. Ramsoms galore!

End of term @coleggwent usually comes on a happy note. This year, on my birthday, it is tainted with the loss of a colleague, a friend and one who always put other people first, (unless he was up to something). Shall miss him, like we all will. #birthday #Countryside #Agriculture

[Chris Carey @myworkingweek]

@SeanFletcherTV Thank you Sean for guest speaking at this evening’s virtual ‘celebrating excellence’ awards ceremony @Coleggwent. Great story. p.s. Get your bookshelves sorted! 😂

Journey to work to Usk @coleggwent, this morning was very trying after #stormdennisuk. Devastating scenes. The road from Newport to Usk is unsurpassable at Llanbadoch church for bus service 60 @NewportBus
