Just re-reading the @IndependentSage school recommendations. It says that "A Young Minds report found that 87% of school pupils said that they were lonely during the first lockdown, and that 69% of those back at school said their mental health was poor.
Yet 40% said their school had no counsellor to talk to and only 27% said they had any conversation with a staff member about their well-being. 23% said there was less mental health support at their school compared to before the pandemic, only 9% said there was more."
While we're homeschooling again, I wonder which strategies people have found work best, to keep their children engaged with their friends? Also, do people have a view on which homeschooling software is keeping children engaged? #homeschooling#IndependentSAGE
A lovely read, I'd entirely forgotten about Boucherie Lamartine. Back in the day, if you wanted a French cut of veal, or good bread and cheese, you'd make the pilgrimage to Ebury Street & Elizabeth Street - there was no 'buy online'! Seems impossible now
We all know what a huge impact Albert & Michel had on the culinary world, but via their TV show they had an even more profound impact on diners. They taught us that provenance was everything!
Almost everything important I learnt about cooking began here, and I'm profoundly grateful to them.
I'm lucky enough to have spent time in the field with Michel - he was charming, generous, courteous, funny, hungry (!). There's now a huge Roux shaped hole in the UK food scene.
