This is not OK. Hope you are OK. It's been great to see your training on here, getting stronger and faster week by week. I hope to see you smash the London marathon. I've got no words for public consumption for the 'man' who did this 😡
Balance Bikes assembled with the help of the school caretaker. Duckling helmets unboxed. Tomorrow they will be out for playtimes and lunch times

Eldest (4) decided he wanted to organise a New Years Eve party tea for tomorrow. He has been calling himself Party boss all day and food has been prepped and chocolate cake made. Apparently there will be games and prizes.🎉
Today, I swept for 15 minutes after setting off two confetti canons in assembly to talk about spreading kindness like confetti. I'd have swept all day after seeing their faces 🤩
What an experience. 18 hours 20 minutes. 70 miles of the wall. Highs, lows, laughter, silence, running, walking, hills. It had it all! What an experience and a real pleasure to do it with this gentleman

Tonight I've mainly been sewing badges on to the eldests new Squirrel jumper and necker ready for Sunday. All those years of being kept busy sewing buttons onto material when visiting my grandma coming into good use!

New academic year - whether you're already back, have a day or two of inset, start a new role, staying in the same school - have a blooming great year!
A huge thank you for all you kind words for completing The Wall yesterday. 70 miles ticked off for my first Ultra. Today has mainly been snoozing. There is still time to donate here for
@samaritans
and
@Kidney_Research
Thank you to all that have so far 🤩
If there was ever a book that was appropriate for the times, sending such an important message to children - this has to be it.

take a bow - Year 6 got their copy today as a leavers gift
Great day with the family to celebrate 6 years being married to a absolute superstar of a mum to our two sons and wife that keeps me going and keeps me right!

This little Squirrel was very excited to start Squirrels tonight and even brought Squirrel Nutkin home. Looks like we're going on more adventures this weekend 😂🐿️
It was me and the eldest today. He loves a good show, so off we went to Newcastle to see The Tiger Who Came to Tea. The cast were amazing, some proper belly laughs all round. Creativity, drama & the arts are a bit special. Everyone smiling, after being engrossed in the moment.
Come and join a wonderful school in Guisborough and be part of our amazing team as Assistant Headteacher. All details are here, but DM if you would like to discuss further.
Gingerbread house almost complete. Some of the sweets are ending up on it and half of the icing may have been licked off the spoon when putting it on the roof 🎅🎄
As always, a great day in school with the superstar that is

Great family weekend in Manchester to end the festive break. Managed to watch Lost and Found and Going on a Bear hunt. Two great shows! Also managed to keep the running going. Now to get ready for the new term 💪🏃🏻
So... Edenred... so far no problems. Logged on, ordered and logged out without any problems, all done in 5 minutes. Complete contrast to last time. Hope everyone else who is using them find it the same 🤞
This, my friends, is the picture of a successful bottle feed and straight to sleep evening. Last night was the first transition to bottle (with breast milk still), and wasn't very successful... However this evening was the first time I got to feed him

Some runs feel easier than others. Today was a hot and hilly 5k which was one of the tougher runs I've done in a while. More time on the feet and that's the main thing 🏃🏻💪🥵
It's a shame when really good people get abuse for putting their head above the parapet from people who do not understand what a difference those people are making.
Sun was out for today's long run. No puddles, no rainproof and no base layer. I do like winter training, but there is an extra spring in the step when the weather is like this 👟
@WeAreERC
30 days into the new year and 30 runs. With views like this and a head torch, what's not to enjoy! 1 more day and that's

Traditions are what make things magical. 4 years ago we put a Geraldine giraffe on top of a tree, as the eldest wanted it on the top. Today the youngest put it on the top after they both decorated it. They love their tree 🎄🦒
Careful out there if you are travelling this morning. This is the view on the A1 South at scotch corner. Currently sat waiting for the gritter to sort the slip road out ❄️🏂 No swimming today. might go make a snow man and have hit chocolate when we get back ☃️
