My youngest graduated to no stabilisers cycling today which reminded me that now matter the tech, the joy of riding a bike will always be there! 🚴‍♀️ Also made me realise that I have missed @richkhistory.bsky.social TDF updates!

Tough parenting moment. On the one hand my 3 year old has opened up a hole in the sofa to extract the white fluff. On the other he has used it as smoke for his train....to tell off or to applaud that is the question! Probably both 🤣

Desperately sad and struggling to comprehend a world without the distinctive voice that was Helen Snelson. But she lives on in the classrooms of countless history teachers – in York, around Britain, across Europe – profoundly touched by her exceptional care, courageous insight and boundless vision.
