It’s coming up roses for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

Peony piles on being the show stopper, but a little tribute to all the others working hard to fill the borders! #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Everything’s happening all at once - from the last of the late daffs to full on roses, the first peony and marsh marigolds in the wet garden: phew! #SixOnSaturday

It’s a colourful Easter weekend in the garden #SixOnSaturday

As we get to the last of the late daffodils, the rest of the garden goes crazy with colour. Even some blue for those off to Wembley! #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Plenty of colour in the sun in this week’s #SixOnSaturday

Looks like spring has properly sprung with today’s #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Sticking with a #SixOnSaturday that is all about the daffodils

071

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

A whole lot of daffodils seems right for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

There’s sunshine in the garden for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

It’s beginning to look a bit like springtime for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

It’s not just snowdrops anymore in this week’s #SixOnSaturday

000

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Snowdrops for winter (the only good thing about January!) then big into roses! But in between the tulips and daffs are going to be good this year!

Something to take further the remembering from today #HMD25. Alongside brilliantly told histories, Eichler propels the reader towards “deep listening” to music as the emotional content to memory. (It’s a cracking read too!)

Snowdrops and hellebores make up this week’s #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

It’s a cold January day so it’s just got to be snowdrops for #SixOnSaturday

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

It’s a frozen world out in the garden for this week’s #SixOnSaturday

Of course we should crack on at pace with Dilnot. However, the sector needs to be open to the Commission challenging and exploring some possibly uncomfortable truths about the context today. End (and breathe!)

010

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Dilnot is spot on that a decent society must properly resource a means tested system and determine how we pay for that. No one has matched the proposal of his commission for mitigating the risks in paying for: it’s twice been ready to implement (8) …

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

We ought to think more about the role of social work/care in removing barriers for people facing addiction, or working with people with multiple sensory impairments or mental health needs. What outcomes are we seeking from a rights based approach? …(7)

100

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

15 years since Dilnot, demographic change isn’t solely “older people living longer”. The changes in working age adults carry major cost implications, & are now at least half of public spending. There’s young people coming from SEND & talk about greater mental health demand (6) …

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

15 years ago the social care market was focussed on learning lessons from Southern Cross. It’s a very different landscape now - with uncomfortable truths about the extraction of profits from care. Here’s some thinking done with @TheHCAlliance (5)… thehealthcreationalliance.org/reports/

The “system” is often seen as health & care. There’s a massive argument to be made about the power of good housing to shape lives & sustain connections with others. Look at the excellent research evidence from @ExtraCareOrgUk … (4) www.extracare.org.uk/our-charity/...

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

15 years ago, on the heels of Dilnot, exposed Winterborne View. The response has not led to better outcomes. When we talk about “catastrophic care costs” for older people we need to include that catastrophic outcomes are the reality for too many younger adults (especially at points of crisis?)…(3)

100

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

15 years on from the publication of Dilnot, the voices of people who draw on care are still not central. Great work by @socfuture has challenged us to think as much about facilitating “gloriously ordinary lives” as about “systems”. Should the commission be coproduced?… (2)

Peter Hay @peterhay.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

An informative session - Dilnot @blimeysimon @kathryn1smith making the #socialcare case. There is much in the argument that “we know lots about what’s to be done”, a commission moving at pace and the need for political direction. Yet here’s a thread/thoughts about pace…

Welcoming in 2025 with plenty of colours on show in the garden for #SixOnSaturday and a topical appearance from the first snowdrops
