@scarletalex hello! Watching Chelsea again this year with mum ( who’s now 91!) and thought of you and wondered how you’re doing! I’m not on here much at all anymore and it’s a fair few years since we chatted gardening and rugby!! Btw, I’m finally learning Welsh as well! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@JoannaCannon finally managed to read A Tidy Ending as we’ve been on holiday! I loved it. Such clever writing! I couldn’t put it down even for the scenery! I’m missing Linda! I might never wear a scarf again though! x

@HarrietRycroft @HaslemereNorman I will thank you! She’s loved planting and arranging all the pots! And watering them keeps her very busy!!

@HaslemereNorman my nearly 90year old mum has been so inspired by lovely @HarrietRycroft ‘s book!! 🌸🌺🌹🌷🌼

@HaslemereNorman @HarrietRycroft Aww thank you! I miss you too! 💜

@has2bpurple @HarrietRycroft That's great. Harriet will love that! Love to your mum and the family. I miss you. 💚

@RealSarahGreene Well I loved the Gordon the Gopher story!! And I fully believed you! You look so lovely too! 💜 xx

Would I??….

@Evasgale @RealSarahGreene Sending you lots of love Sam 💜 that’s a lovely photo xx

A year ago today my beloved Mum passed away 💔 #missyoudreadfully

@dorey1414 All good thanks! Not on here often but always think of you when I venture here! We’ve moved and still have the lovely painting you did for us x

@has2bpurple Hi, long time no see, I’m fine 🙂 hope you’re well too x

That was a good welcome home

@Evasgale @RealSarahGreene Definitely! Let’s get a date sorted! I’ll DM you both xx

@RealSarahGreene @has2bpurple Lots of love to you both too, send me some dates and let’s make this happen. I’m pretty flexible. Xx

@Evasgale @RealSarahGreene Happy St David’s Day! 🌼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xx Hope you are both well xx

@louiseminchin @ceryssmc I can’t believe this was 6 years ago! 24 Feb 2017 #thisgirlcan

@JoannaCannon Merlin does too!

Lewis understands Sundays.

@JoannaCannon Well my ‘lived experience’ tells me dogs are far easier to understand than some people and also better company and much kinder!Here’s Merlin for you! 🐶💜

Woke to snarky Insta DM from someone who really doesn't like the phrase 'lived experience' and felt the need to start my day with a telling off because I clearly invented it 🙄 (stopped reading DMs here and will now do the same there I've better things to do with my time srsly)

@dorey1414 Magic, Inky Squid (as in ink -black!) Good luck choosing, it’s always tricky isn’t it! x

Ok Twitter I need help. My wife isn’t keen on the name Shadow, she wants something shorter. I need suggestions please before we go to register him at the vet.

@MartinSLewis 👋🏻 My charity would be @TargetOvarian 💜

WOW! 2,000,000 followers now hit. And I've clocked who was 2,000,000th and their charity, but I'll keep the nominations for existing followers (now 3 x £500) charities open until 8:30pm tonight - to give people who missed it time - and will announce who gets what then. :)

Wow I'm nearing 2m followers. So to say THANK YOU & promote small charities, I'll again donate -£500 to charity picked by my 2000000th follower -£500 to charity of randomly picked existing follower who replies So pls reply with a charity, noting if ur new or already follow (1/2)

@JoannaCannon Ahh hope you feel better soon! Must say I’m not looking forward to tomorrow as it’s knocked me for six every time I’ve had a covid vaccination! 😬 xx

@has2bpurple Chickening out bit only applies to me, because I'd set my mind on having both, but lost my nerve (very glad for that lost nerve right now!) x

Lovely ppl asking what I did yesterday. Chickened out and just had the COVID booster (nervous of my super-charged reactivity). Will de-flu myself in a couple of weeks. EVERYONE wearing masks. Hurrah. Nurse was a star. Now just feel exhausted and want to lie down. wtv standard lol

@Sue_Cowley I did the same unfortunately Sue. Really sad.

Our last 3 members of staff who left quit the profession completely when they left our setting. All great people who just couldn't afford to work in the sector anymore. That's the reality of the retention crisis in early years. #PVI

@DrJamesGill @greatauntbetty @DrAdamC Or a trip to the sea. My son’s film for his finals in 2021 filmed solo in lockdown, after having half his Uni time in a pandemic/lockdown. Highlights the importance of Blue Space. The sea helps his mental health when he’s struggling 🌊

@greatauntbetty @DrAdamC I think so many of the things people find helpful either: - encourage them to leave to house (which is a big step for some) - or encourage physically active with the generation of all the mood enhancing endorphins etc which come with that I wish we could do more to enable that
