O C T O B E R: Wow - what a month! And it isn't even finished but I decided to do my BTS now because next week I will be embracing the juggle of half term, life admin, family visits etc. and it will be officially *bonkers*! October is apple month for me as we are so lucky and have a very old apple tree and I have been refilling cinnamon and mixed spice at our local plastic-free shop I have been trying to walk/jog 44 miles for and Cancer Research because I think Dame Deborah and her legacy was/is amazing. (Generally, teachers *are* absolutely incredible - if you read Rutger Bregman's latest book, I'm telling you that IMHO the moral ambition of the world is found in the teaching profession) So there's a photo of Etherow Country Park in Stockport which is part of my 44 miles. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend a teacher network event at Chester Zoo and see some penguins and flamingos. Add to that delivering apples to friends - literally anyone have some! And looking at other peoples' resources, and family birthdays, and lots of BTS emails and admin to share my business & Virtually Me with as many people as possible... Only had one person who really wasn't happy to hear from me this month so that's not too bad!! If you have half term coming up, I hope you have a lovely week. See you in November. Hπ
