Tuning into Adam Dighton’s session in the @histassoc.bsky.social Short Course series on Britain and WW2. Little bit of evening CPD on a favourite area of mine. #historyteacher

Coaching trainees, contributing to curriculum design and delivering disciplinary training has revitalised my love of history education. Alongside the work-life balance I’ve now found, I’m heading into this Christmas break with a smile on my face.

Great to see an influx of educators onto here the past couple of weeks. Hopeful it will revive that community aspect that got lost on the other place.
Long time no see to lots of lovely faces!

Bayeux was another highlight on our #Normandy adventure.
Ticked the Bayeux Tapestry off the bucket list.
Also interesting to see how much architecture survived WW2 compared to neighbouring Caen due to how objectives in the Battle of Normandy played out.

Had a wonderful time exploring Normandy this summer.
The remnants of the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches were a highlight, especially as a relative of mine worked on building them in Bucklers Hard before they went across.
(So good we went twice hence different skies!) #historyteacher #normandy
