Last night's musical treat was Cherryholt, Brogeal, Red Rum Club and Wombats 🎶🎺🎸🔥 First rate porter loo cleaning team but the bar staff made me pour my two cans that I paid a crazy amount for into plastic cups so everyone could see that I was drinking bright blue alcopop... #relivingmyyouth

Beautiful day today by the Rhine. The sunshine makes so much difference. And I love the little libraries dotted around Düsseldorf 👌🌞💫

Finally.... It is half term for us Northerners who have had to wait the extra week. Finishing off the Baileys from Christmas. It's probably out of date. Don't care. Cheers!

Trying to keep the festivities going, this January. New years treat of 20% off from my local (fingers crossed for the 100% with my next and final ticket!) and a delicious raspberry espresso martini 😋👌🥳

Love Boy in the Tower - a firm favourite when I was in the classroom. Now that I'm not (often enough for full books) I have to keep it to texts short enough to read in assemblies, so my first one of 2026 will focus on resilience and 'The Magical Yet'... 👌💫
