What a great week National Careers Week has been. Thanks to @W_G_Academy @TheMeadows0121 and @HollyLodge_B67 for letting Connexions Sandwell, Sandwell MBC Leader Shokat Lal and @CouncillorSimon visit your schools and hear your positive career stories #NCW24 @sandwellcouncil
The Pogues - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda youtu.be/TThjY_qlEfg?si… via @YouTube RIP Shane MacGowan. Many many years ago this brought the horrors and futility of First World War to my bedroom record player
Back at Coleshill House today for a really exciting podcast (out soon - I’ll let you know what one when I can - safe to say I’m v excited about it)! On the way back I nipped into the Highworth ex-post office where Mabel Stranks would have vetted the Aux coming for training.
Nimy Bridge. The fourth version post the original battle on 23rd August 1914 but still feels emotional to stand on that spot of two VC’s @sommecourt @CWGC
Paid my respects to a few individuals on a recent trip to Belgium

Well I really don’t see Wales winning any of their games in the six nations this year. Quite frankly they don’t deserve to either.
Very proud to volunteer for the @CWGC as part of the Eyes On Hand On project. I hope I’ve done Private Tompkins amongst others proud.
This is even worse than last week’s performance. Terrible performance by Wales @WelshRugbyUnion
Caught up with @Connexion_Jobs colleagues this week. Keep up the great work.
Vacancies from @_TheAppWorks ! - why not visit them on Sat 11 Feb 10am - 2pm for their Apprentice Open Day, at their offices, to chat and apply for apprenticeships. @sandwellcouncil @westbrompaul @WestBromCA @ShirelandSixth
Like an apprenticeship but not sure which one? Here are some apprenticeship sectors that are making the headlines. Call us on 0121 569 2955 for advice and guidance. @sandwellcouncil @W_G_Academy @W_O_Academy @BHallAcademy @GeorgeSalterAc @HollyLodge_B67 @CareersQ3T #NAW2023
Let's look at the benefits of apprenticeships. Gain hands-on experience, benefit from support systems and learning aids, get paid to learn, gain industry-recognised qualifications, improve your employability and so much more @sandwellcouncil @SandwellJobs @SHAPESandwell #NAW2023
We love a good news story and this is just a great one highlighting what we do best - careers advice, information and support. Well done Emma and good luck Ben❤️@sandwellcouncil @SandwellLabour @SandwellDCS @CouncillorSimon @Shaun4WBW @WBuryNorthLP
Off to Harrietsham this afternoon to speak to the local history society about the work of CWGC and the lives of the men buried in war graves in the local churchyard.
Calcutta (Bhowanipore) Cemetery, Kolkata, contains 95 Commonwealth burials of World War One and 617 burials from World War Two. There are other graves here dating back to 1862. Photo: @wtbattlefields

#Christmas news I became a #Grandad again a few days ago. Thomas decided he couldn’t wait so was a few weeks early. Mum and grandson doing ok but he’s bit undercooked so his 1st Christmas in hospital. I love my kids but when grandkids come along it’s a whole new level of love
And thus. The Adventure of The Golden Pince-Nez is concluded with some 'brilliant' editing according to the early feedback. Yup. That's right. BRILLIANT.
Another day, more fantastic Aux Unit OBs and Special Duties Branch wireless bunkers! All part of an exciting new project. @staybehinds #Wales

Top tip for movie night - don't watch crime documentaries on Netflix with a Master Detective. They will ruin it for you.
