BREAKING: Jess Thirlby steps down as England netball head coach 🚨

💔 This is the hardest post I’ve written all year. While many of us are wrapped up in family, warmth, and festive cheer, there are babies and young children sitting alone on hospital beds tonight. Not because they’re unloved - but because sometimes parents can’t always be there every minute. This is a quiet crisis most people never see. In the UK right now: 😢 Over 80,000 children will go through hospital without a parent at their bedside. 😳 More than 10,000 of those will endure a week with only a one-hour visit from someone they know. This is the gap Ward Buddies exists to fill. How do I know the pain of a child alone in hospital? Because I was one. It took some tough therapy as an adult to realise how deeply those lonely hospital stays scarred me with feelings of abandonment. That’s why I started Ward Buddies 💛 - to make sure no child feels that same physical and emotional pain. Right now, we’re working inside Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where our specialist staff and trained volunteers have supported nearly 500 children this year. And as proud as I am of that, it’s only scratching the surface of what’s needed. ⏳ In the next 3 months, we need to raise £63,000 to keep this going and expand so that no child is left without comfort when they need it most. (100% of donations go to the children’s care 🙌). A few weeks ago, ITV asked me to share the Ward Buddies story on Good Morning Britain. However, the only interview slot was at Christmas time. A time when I was away with my own family, doing what so many of us are lucky to do this time of year. The interview didn’t happen in the end, so I’m turning to social media instead to get the word out. If this story hits you in the chest, please don’t scroll past. 👉 If you’d like to help, comment BUDDY below and I’ll message you personally 💛 And even if you can’t contribute money, sharing this post with your friends is helping! Every share means more eyes on this problem, and maybe more kind people stepping forward to donate to fix it. This is how change starts. It starts with awareness, with compassion, and with you. Let’s show those 80,000 kids that they haven’t been forgotten. Together, we can end this quiet crisis - together, we can make sure no child is ever alone in hospital 💛

It would help so much if you could RT my post above about my etsy shop. I confess I've really struggled with pretty severe mental illness this year which has prevented me from working for much of it. A RT will put my shop in front of a few more eyes. I appreciate your support here so much, thankyou🌿

Wow. That’s all. Just wow. #pusb @theenemyband

The value of cloth was such, in the past, that recycling was a regular feature of sartorial life. Silk brocade worn in the 18th century has been completely repurposed here to fit the fashionable silhouette of the #1820s, too precious not to reuse @nasjonalmuseet #fashionhistory

Smells like three points, again. 👏

#OTD in 1560, #AmyRobsart, first wife of Robert Dudley, Elizabeth I's Master of Horse, was found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs at her rented home of Cumnor Place, Oxfordshire. There was speculation as to the manner of her death, although an inquest ruled it accidental.

Being a frequent traveller to the Caribbean and engrossing myself in its history, I am SO SO SO EXCITED that @MirandaKaufmann #Heiresses book is finally here! Perfect companion for my long train journey today.
