Just experimenting with my photo editing. Took this image earlier this afternoon while we were out for a family walk. Just wishing that beacon were actually lit!
Do you like the edit? I’m loving the contrast between sky and the colour of the setting sun.

AD - This week has been all@about the personal development! Here I am undertaking a trial of the ‘Life Based Learning’ training course and it’s a fascinating concept.

Why oh why are skills learned at home as a parent not recognised in the workplace? Who do we talk about work / life balance when we only have the one life? Life Based Learning breaks down those barriers and enables you to gain a qualification by recognising skills such as negotiation, time management and empathy and exploring how they can be used at work.

Full details are on the blog (link in bio) but it was a fascinating experience and the training was very thought provoking.

Oh, and the other training I’ve been doing? Take a look twonpoats to the right read about what I was doing with the BCMA on Monday!

AD It was a very exciting night, last night. It was the @whatcar_official Awards and I was delighted to attend as a guest of the car magazine and website.

I won’t keep you in suspense, the overall title for Car of the Year went to the Ford Puma.

If you want to see who else won (and to hear @edgamblecomedy deliver a few lines), go take a look at my Stories where I’ve listed them all.

It was a very exciting night and wonderful to see two hybrid categories and two electric car categories, recognising the increased interest in more environmentally friendly motoring.

It was also great to see that I’ve reviewed several of the finalists and winners!

More detail on the blog soon but do have a look at my Stories in the meantime.

I spent the morning with @thebcma on it’s ‘introductory workshop’ and left with this, showing I’m a fully fledged member of the organisation!
I feel this is a great step for content creators. It’s early days but at last we have a trade body that provides legal advice, represents our interests to our partners in the advertising and PR worlds and offers networking and other opportunities.

The workshop today covered the growth in influencer marketing, the legal responsibilities of being a content creator (ie ASA and CMA rules plus data protection obligations) and tax law plus a session at the end about investing your earnings for the future.

I’d you are a blogger, Instagrammer, TikTokker, YouTuber etc. I’d definitely look into joining. There’s strength in numbers and the BCMA needs you!

Here’s dad to #Malala Ziauddin Yousafzai. A little reminder that on the blog you’ll find an awesome Q&A I did with him (link above in bio). Read about how the @MalalaFund is helping the 130,000,000 girls worldwide who have no access to formal education. Read about his early life as an activist for girl’s education and the impact the Taliban had on his life and the life of Malala (she was, if you recall, shot in the head for raising awareness of girls’ plight under Taliban rule but survived and went on to establish the #MalalaFund with her father). .

Worldwide, 130million girls do not attend school. There’s a particularly acute issue with educating girls who are refugees.

I have been speaking to long-term education activist @ziauddin_yousafzai co-founder of the @malalafund and, of course, father of @malala
You’ll find a write up on the blog. It was so inspiring to write this article. This is a man who was passionate about improving girls’ education and was then forced to live under the, violent, brutal rule of the Taliban when it took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where his family lived.
Very famously, the Taliban attempted to kill his daughter, Malala, because she blogged for the BBC and was outspoken about the plight of girls who were treated like filth by the Taliban.

Malala was shot in the head, but the murder attempt was unsuccessful. This was the catalyst for the next chapter in the Yousafzai family’s life. They went from local activists to global activists campaigning for all girls to have 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

The whole story is on the blog. I really do recommend reading this interview. It was a joy to write and Ziauddin is the most amazing figure who has lived 1,000 lives.
