Great British Menu, why would anyone choose 2 egg based dishes as the starter and fish course? Are the judges mad? Not impressed at all.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, & every other day, it is important to remember that we all have mental health & that most of us will struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives. It’s okay not to be okay- you are not alone. Someone is always there to listen so let’s talk.

It’s #SuicidePreventionWeek2020 and we want to remind you of the importance of having open and honest conversations about mental health, particularly in these difficult and uncertain times.
It’s #SuicidePreventionWeek. Every day in Scotland, two people die by suicide.
It has never been more important that we come together as a country to prevent suicide.
Check out our information on what to do if you're worried about someone: samh.org.uk/documents/SAMH_A…

Had the most fantastic (and exhausting) few days earlier this week at the Larkhall Hub 🌈📚 Great fun meeting some amazing young people and getting to see many of my colleagues again. Even tried my hand at some art.... safe to say it’s best I stick to History teaching!! 😂
