@JonnElledge I’m so, so sorry Jonn.

Agnes Mary Frimston, the love of my life, died Friday night aged just 35. We don't yet know why. She was the kindest, funniest, most beautiful and all round best person I have ever known, and she was adored by pretty much everyone who ever met her. I loved her so, so much.

@Samfr You are my hero.

Apologies for self-indulgent/earnest tweet but am quite proud of myself skiing with a stoma. Given how scared I was of doing anything when I first got it and that was less than 2 years ago. Progress.

Our first publication from SchoolSurveys.com has gone to the printers! Written by our expert @HFletcherWood, we're hoping it will be ready for @ThePiXLNetwork MAT Connect conference on Thursday (fingers crossed!)
