Take 6 ten and eleven year olds, stick them on a trampoline for an hour, given them sugar and a bunch of accessories…and they act like they are on a hen do. Happy Birthday to the littlest one 🎉 🥳

How I feel right now about the British/ 🇬🇧English( whatever) political landscape is that some one wrapped in a Union Jack could whack me over the head with a flag pole & the BBC would shove a microphone in my face asking why I provoked the attacker & the Home Sec would invite the attacker for tea .

There are spirits of the stair that announce themselves in a sudden burst of perfume, laughter or unmistakable sound of children running up and down. Yet we must be honest, there are also stair spectres that shove. Predatory phantoms that delight in downfall. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

‘September’ Artist: Eppo Doeve (Not a Ladybird artist - but what a striking image)

A tangle of brightly coloured, slightly surreal September plants have been set under a mysterious grey, forbidding sky. In the background, we see a gardener walking away, his back to us.

Having a sort out and came across this letter. That poor dog that was too stubby to scratch!

Letter written by 6 year says: “I found this dog on the way to School yesterday. It didn’t have an owner. And it looked like it kept needing to scratch but it was too short and stubby. It looked old. A lorry almost ran it over but one of the lorry men came out and helped us find the owner and finally we found the owner. I think this dog was cute (picture of dog)
