Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Weird strangers somehow feel the need to say: “Aren’t you worried your ballerina daughter will become anorexic?”. Well, no 😆 She dances for hours and hours every day. She’s an athlete. If she didn’t eat properly, she’d fall over 🤷🏻♀️ Not bad for “quick meal” in a student flat with a chum. 000

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 10/07/2026No car Jenga this year. As both children are staying in their accommodation, for the first time in 11 years I have not had to do an end of term boarding school/Uni move out and carload home! Bliss 😁 020
Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I massively enjoyed Operation Mincemeat. It is very different to a classic musical, which hopefully helped if you don’t like them usually! 100
Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Many of my friends of 25 years were made online on a forum. We count each other as close friends. Online is not the same now, but I defy anything that says that online can’t be as meaningful. 020

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 05/06/2026My mind was blown this morning by the discovery that there’s a Dog Mode in Tesla cars. I probably still won’t ever consider buying one, but I really hope it spreads to other car manufacturers. The last time I left my dog in the car alone, she ATE the seatbelt 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙄😆 100

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I was so sad yesterday at the General Rehearsal of La Fille at the RBO not to see the beloved pony Oscar in his important role.

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I absolutely adored it Gentleman Jack. We sat in the second row and the subsequent immersive nature was mesmerising. I will be seeing it again at the end of the run 🙌🏻 I highly recommend it! 120
Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 20/05/2026A year ago, when I bought the tickets, my family were not overly keen on the idea of Miss Saigon. I nearly returned the damn things four times. But in the end… they came, they saw, they fell in love. 000

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 04/04/2026We were split 2 2 🤦🏻♀️ I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I wish we’d given greater time to the last couple of rooms. It was the London half Marathon when we went and so we walked an hour to get there through the pouring rain… and then had to buy Turner socks in the shop to change into 😆 010
Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Was it perhaps the Turner Constable? I really enjoyed that exhibition immensely, but as a family we differed on our favourite. 110

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I really enjoyed my spur of the moment trip to see this exhibit “Beauty and Destruction: Wartime London in Art” at the Imperial War Museum.

Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Annoying parents aside (I don’t blame the children 😆), the exhibition was simply marvellous and has stayed with me ever since. What seemed so shocking in the 1990s viewed now is not shocking. But, in her words, it was never meant to be in the first place. It stays with me. 020
Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Third tip. If you absolutely have to take your young child because 1) there is nobody in the World you can leave them with and 2) you will die if you don’t see this exhibition, don’t bloody narrate it to your child and don’t block other people from viewing with your competitive parenting. 110
