I am completely paralysed at the moment by the upcoming election, and what it will mean for the futures of these boys 🙁 Not directly. We are pretty well set, financially and professionally. We have options. But we are in the minority: and any country that privileges our interests above the interests of the majority of the population is not a country I want to live in 💔 There is a clear choice for the UK right now: a choice between a law-breaking, lie-making charlatan or a man of integrity and honesty who has commanded the respect of his North London constituency for 36 years 🌹 Neither of them are perfect. But one has a hell of a lot more to offer this country than the other ✊ This is a real crisis point election in more ways than one. Our environment is on the verge of breaking down, with several irreversible tipping points already reached and many more in danger of being surpassed over the next few years 🌎 Our NHS is fractured and vulnerable: it needs investment, not the competition of outside markets, if we are to preserve it for future generations 🏩 And our education system is crumbling under the weight of false expectations, our children’s mental health the most devastating casualty of this decade of Tory government 😞 We have a binary decision next Thursday: either we endorse Boris Johnson, accept his deception and appalling record on the promise of a better future, or we take a punt on Jeremy Corbyn, the stalwart MP with slightly more left-leaning views than most people are entirely comfortable with (until they dig into his policies, and discover that left-leaning in this country is actually just fundamentally decent) ❤️ Hands up now I am entirely biased. I would take almost anyone in government over and above this UKIP/BREXIT/TORY amorality party 🤯 But as it happens it was Jeremy Corbyn who first galvanised me into politics: hearing his words as a newly qualified teacher in the midst of a million other people marching against the war in Iraq ingrained in me the politics I now live by. He is not perfect. We are not perfect. But we are the best of what we’ve got, and we have to make it count.
First swim of December! So cold but oh so good... ❄️💙🌊
Tree hunting 🎄
Happy advent! 🌟 Christmas arrived at our house today, and along with it this calendar I made for Arthur six years ago 🎄 That first year of motherhood was such a flurry of creativity: birthing a child awakened something in me that had been dormant for way too long ✨ Looking forward to a month of creative fun with my little muses ❤️
