I loved the retro pics, the characterisation of the dog and the rawness of it. What an ending!
Excited to post this video about childhood trauma shared between me, my brothers and our beautiful beast of a dog Lizzie, using archival pics, as part of my ACE-funded Positivity in Practice schools presentation (this one teens upwards)

France’s extraordinary election results provide an urgent, valuable lesson. Don’t concede ground to those who sow division and fear. Build a bold Left movement that offers an alternative of inclusion and hope. That is how you defeat the far right.
