Grateful for this wonderful island of Barbados and the opportunity it provides for me to escape from England’s winter grey. Happily working through Christmas with extra sunshine and the sound of teaming wildlife along the coast of Bathsheba.

A History of England in 25 Poems by Catherine Clarke · Audiobook preview
YouTube video by Google Play Books
A sample of the #audiobook of #AHistoryOfEnglandIn25Poems, read by me, with additional readings by my @ihr.bsky.social colleague @juanitacox.bsky.social & actor Roy McMillan. (The Spotify preview is more cringe, with me saying 'c*ck & balls' in the first 3 seconds...)

Extraordinary to witness historical progress turning on a pin. Jaw dropping to see how quickly some companies have dropped their commitments to equality for all.

This is depressing. And job cuts in a critical area like nursing is simply criminal.
