Saw her speaking in Truro some years ago. She spoke about her background and the value of education. Was in awe of what she has and continues to achieve. Ran well over time with every student getting a personal chat. She is an amazing advocate of being the best human you can possibly be.

Baroness Benjamin spent 15 months in foster care as a child.

She's now a member of the House of Lords and tries to make the world better.

Aim high for our #ChildrenInCare.

Train services have often been affected by industrial action, as today's #Railway200 post shows: the number of trains between Clay Cross and Ashover run by the Ashover Light Railway were reduced during the coal strike of 1926.

Quite the surprise beyond the front door of this 1970s time capsule in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. An interior pretty much untouched in 50 years, and also one of the cheapest houses I have featured on the site. bit.ly/4nRz8Bf

Storm Amy on her way out. Heavy winds/rain but no damage. Beach clean tomorrow at Grebe and Durgan. Westerly winds, so hopefully not too much crap to pick up. Lucky compared to other parts of the world dealing with weather patterns.
