We lost my husband's beautiful, funny, kind, talented grandad, Brian Murphy, this week. Martin shared some of his memories with BBC and it's meant so much to see the outpouring of love from all the people who loved his work over the years. We'll miss you Brian

Nothing could be more perfect than Sarah-Louise Young, An Evening without Kate Bush as my first night out sans baby at Jacksons Lane. Perfection. Gorgeous. Heaven.

The wonderful Jacksons Lane team are launching our 50th anniversary programme tomorrow night with incredible shows, participatory offers, heritage activities and more! The tiny prince who currently runs my life will decide whether I'll be able to join but if not I'll certainly be raising a glass

Highlights included: funky camels funky dancing, worrying the angels might spin themselves offstage in a dizzy tornado, caesar telling everyone they had the passion of a wet fish in a bag, my husband having no idea what was going on until I explained... half way through the show 🤣

Better than I could have imagined! They did a mashup Strictly Comes Dancing meets Nativity SHOW! Including a fabulous take on Craig Revel Horwood as Caesar. Iconic.
This is why I love primary school teachers ❤️

I'm OBSESSED with school Christmas festivities - it's nativity day, my kid had her part (& required costume) changed with one days notice, there's Christmas jumper day, Christmas Dinner day AND Christmas Fair day squeezed into one week, everything requires cash and pre bought tokens. We are LIVING

Christmas Comes to Moominvalley at Jacksons Lane was absolutely magical. Beautiful, delicate storytelling with circus and music woven throughout. We took a gaggle of kids (8 kids aged 3 months - 5 years - yes we are quite mad) and they all loved it! So proud of the team behind this show 🙌

You’re not violating a reading rule if you opt not to finish a book that's not resonating with you. Life is finite and we thus have a finite number of books to read. Reading shouldn’t be a chore. You needn’t feel guilty for ensuring that your time reading is spent reading things that you love.

THERE IS GUYS!! My feed is about to be books, theatre, coffee and all things lovely with some strong climate and politics discourse thrown in for fun!

Hannah Cox @hannahcox.bsky.social · Nov 25

I've fallen into a deep deep black hole of coffee machines... so now I'm wondering... is there a #coffeesky community out there?
