After three years of filming in factories I have FINALLY found some workwear/PPE made for womens bodies. Who says High-vis shouldn't be fitted if you want it to be?!

charger last night... I had 30 miles left and this morning I was able to solve the problem pretty quickly. Then it hit me. It was dark, past 10pm, I was alone in a car park and I was scared. 1/4
The amount of people who have replied to one of my recent tweets asking me to explain Brexit is SO telling. IF I was to attempt a video on my own YT channel explaining the situation to young children, would you and your family watch?
Yesterday our Renault Zoe drove us up to and through the gates of 1000 yr old Norman castle. Today I'm driving it five and a half hours down to the coast for work. Just look what a little EV can do!
Really happy to be working with

Wow! 50 lives, ten themes, two million plays and the BEST audience anyone could ask for. Thank you so very much to everyone who has supported the show and to the best partner in life,

popped the question and of course I said YES! ♥ It's been an incredible few weeks enjoying our engagement as a couple, but now feels like the right time to spread the word! SUPRISE! 💍
I've written a book! 😄
The book is called 'Stuff', and it's a collection of extraordinary stories about the ingenious ways people have found to make, use & re-use everyday things!

As of today YouTube is asking its creators to mark their channels/videos as 'Made for Kids' or not. Doing this has huge consequences for smaller creators like myself and sadly it may mean making far fewer videos or stopping completely...
Why are these public charge points not installed with lights? It would instantly make them feel safer and less intimidating. Am I alone or do other women (or anyone) feel the same?

and have got some brilliant locations lined up. These eps won't be out for a while, but it's not long till series 3 hits your TV screens. SOON!
I'm starting a new filming project tomorrow and it's a bit of a pinch me moment. If you asked me what my dream telly job would be, this is certainly one of them!
(It's a brand new series, not something that already exists! 📺)
Just wanted to say that I'm going to pass on this idea. I don't have the time to script something sensitive enough that I could be certain wouldn't cause any friction. My channel is a safe place for children and I wouldn't want the comments section of a video to get out of hand.
I have some exciting news! Next week a brand new series is starting on

'Maddie, Space and You'.
This mini-series is one of the most most ambitious things we've filmed for beebies yet and I'm so proud of it.

ー19 videos for little ones. I've decided to make some videos for my social channels but am planning on focusing on things we can do to help rather than explain the medical nitty gritty. At this time I think it's best leave it to the experts x
Really proud to see a 50/50 male/female split on my YouTube channel!😊
Edu/Science channels are normally v skewed & I've worked pretty hard with topic/tone but I wonder if it's that or just because my audience are younger?

As the UK heatwave continues, the shadows of ancient settlements have begun appearing in the fields.
Ancient ditches create lines of deeper soil, retaining more moisture and meaning the crops grow thicker.

26 Dec 10am
Lots of you know I have a YouTube channel packed with educational videos! But I'm aware not every family feels comfortable with the platform. So, I've made all my videos accessible from my own website which'll keep your LO's in a safe place!
I'm fed up of charging in pitch black car parks when I'm by myself (often on the phone to get a machine restarted). I've realised one of the reasons I feel vulnerable is because I'm a solo woman hanging about in the dark, in a situation where I can't necessarily drive away. 2/4
I got my first Blue Peter Badge, and it's a green one! 💚🌱♻️
I was very excited to be invited on the show to help launch their new 'climate hero' challenge and talk about Eunice Foote, a pioneering climate scientist from the 1800's.

It's such a good show! Have you seen it yet?
Obviously this isn't the case for ALL charge points and this only happens when I'm on the road, but so many of them are tucked away in car parks, behind pubs, at business centres etc. Places I would never go by myself at night. 3/4
