@MichaelRosenYes @britishlibrary I should also have added an image from the actual session!

[Yildiz Katkin @TalkingBlocksYK]

@MichaelRosenYes such a pleasure to meet u today @britishlibrary #bookadventures. I was inspired by you sharing your personal experience regaining your speech in a beautiful engaging way that captured the attention of your young audience. Fiona (and Natasha) will hear about it 😊

[Yildiz Katkin @TalkingBlocksYK]

@MichaelRosenYes @britishlibrary I have already told my old salt work colleagues who will let Fiona know she was part of your event! 😊. Wish I had Sticky Mc stickstick with us today too!

The loss and grief to this small community in Gazimağusa is devastating. Today I attended two of the funeral services here for a total of 6 children and two parents.

24 schoolchildren from N Cyprus went happily to bed on Sunday night in their 10 floor hotel. They’d won their volleyball matches on tour in Turkey that day. Life was good. Hours later every single one of them would be killed in the earthquake. ⁦@Channel4News⁩ tonight 5.30

@ascstammering @stammer my son has started on You Tube and Tik Tok and is called Stammer Kid. He wants to increase awareness, give advice and normalise stammering in the public eye and on social media. Please share, follow and like, I'm so proud of him!

Such an inspirational and emotional start by @Felicity_Baker sharing her story to introduce the premier of #mystammerandme with @ascstammering

Hilariously true!

Observation 2: People have very strong feelings about their Christmas traditions.

If someone is insisting that *certain food* is what you have to eat Christmas morning, because that's their family tradition, DO NOT SUGGEST ALTERNATIVES. They will stab you in the neck.

@DrElectrobadger Looks lovely!
