We were treated to music and storytelling from Suntou Susso on Sunday at Allen Valleys Folk Fest. Suntou, a Griot of the Gambia, brought his kora and tradition of storytelling through song that sounded like liquid velvet as it wafted over the audience.

The greatest sporting story you've never heard of⚽
In 1971, football teams gathered in Mexico City for an unofficial Women's World Cup.
Dismissed by FIFA, this event was written out of history. Until now.
Copa 71 is in Cinemas from 8th March #InternationalWomensDay #COPA71

In our 200th year, we mark #InternationalWomensDay by sharing the incredible stories of five influential women from RNLI history. From launching lifeboats, to training others to prevent drowning worldwide, their stories are so inspiring 👇

No matter what side of the fight they were on, our lifeboat crews launched to save lives at sea during the First and Second World Wars.

Thank you to @spondoncc and particularly to Neil Kellogg for their touching tribute for my dad yesterday. My entire childhood revolved around cricket. My first (unpaid) job. Dad used to throw fast cricket balls at me and I’m still pretty good at catch. Thank you. #Cricket – at Derby, England
My lovely dad (centre) passed away peacefully but suddenly at home last week. Hard to believe that 3 members of the skiffle group below have passed away in the first 6 months of 2023. I will miss our heated debates about politics. All my love forever. #Spondon @ProstateUK – at Derby, England

Well, I’m no longer a diplomat, but I hope that those who are continue to pay attention to this area. @ProfNGreenberg is always worth listening to. #Diplomacy #mentalhealth @FCDOGovUK
Delighted our @EPR_HPRU scoping review on the #mentalhealth of diplomatic staff is now out in @journal_occmed We found that diplomats' mental health is similar to other workers in highly challenging occupations. bit.ly/3ysoyZl @kcmhr @PeterJones_UK
