That's our new logo on the learnwith subdomain. We're currently working on revamping our main site.

New and old logos attached!

Our co-op has been sending out a newsletter for years, but more recently has created free email-based courses around

1. Running effective online meetings

2. Working more openly

Just replaced our ageing Netgear vDSL router with a dedicated Draytek Vigor modem. Both are/were connected to our Orbi mesh network.

High stakes testing is bullshit, especially remotely during a pandemic

Wild camping in Northumberland National Park last night 🏕️

The photos don't show how ridiculously windy it was! Was sure the tent was going to blow away with us in it!

This has been bugging me so had to draw it out
