Inspired by The Dream of The Rood and @ClerkofOxford with the children @ChristChBath this Good Friday. We had some wonderful dramatic recitations of sections of the poem as well as decorating our own crosses, golden on one side and dark on the other #GoodFriday2024

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one. The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:

'Cower from'. What a dreadful, dreadful thing to write, particularly by a health secretary. Callous godawful gibberish.

Dear @WelshGovernment, could you point to the scientific evidence on which you based your advice that tenors are more likely to 'emit virus'? Because the consensus is that you based it on a photoshopped meme of a story about aerosols (not virus!) from flautists🤦‍♀️ #singingmatters
Defibrillators save lives. I checked both the Bathwick ones to ensure they are fully functional. Out of interest, do you know where they are? Or those near you? If not, would you know how to find out? Your answers will guide future information provision.
