Families in our care coming together to enjoy a day of carnival fun. Is there a better way to spend a summer afternoon?
We had a super time making memories this week. Playing games, enjoying some sweet treats and getting our faces painted for this year's second carnival day at Bluebell Wood.
Thank you to Gary for being part of this video and for his kind words about Bluebell Wood. It is a pleasure to support him, Madison and all of the family.💜
Thanks to Royal Mail and their mascot #LennyLetter for being at the event.
Also great to have Smile Pony Therapies Mr Dan and everyone else who made the event such a warm and beautiful experience for the families in our care.

Right. Today's our wonderful Carnival day. This is our second event. We've got lots going on. Families are having lots of fun for a few hours they're not children and carers. They're children and parents. It just brings everybody together to have an amazing time. It's making memories. It's, you know, that's what it's all about. Like when when she comes in, she waves everybody, she smiles, everybody, if you're ever on a downer, she always smiles always smiles and brings you up like, you know, because, you think of Hospice, you think, oh, you know, it's doom and gloom, but it's opposite. It's so friendly and nice. And it's all about what they do for the for the children here. And we, we, we love it here, bringing Madison, because we know, she's she's well looked after. You can't beat it. It's a wonderful place. Yeah, that's the reason we come to work. Lots of fun. You know, you get to see lots of new faces as well with the families and meet the older families, don't we? So it's, yeah, it it what makes, it's what makes it worthwhile.
I have rarely experienced such a passionate community as that of Dungeons 4. After it has been possible to create maps using the editor on PC, we are finally making the community maps available on consoles as well with update 1.5. We showcase two of these maps (Warsong by ice-design and Gently Down The Stream by test9000) in our latest trailer. Unleash the Evil Mods! #dungeons4
Can I nerd out about an older game that didn't get the hype it deserved? Is this the place?
Savage Skies is a PS2 Flight simulator giving players the chance to serve as riders on large, mythical monsters to do battle in the air. The game was originally intended as a licensing tie in game endorsed by the one and only Ozzy Osbourne himself, but licensing complications and a tragically famous terror attack in the United States caused real complications.
In the end, the game had its flaws in graphics and difficulty, but it did such a fantastic job of selling the fantasy of riding large, mythical beasts into glorious combat serving the interests of one of several factions. 6 Degrees of Freedom is hard to make fun, but recent successes in the games industry shows it can be done! Savage Skies js one of the few games that I played to 100% completion, and I can count those games on my fingers.
The game featured a robust story mode featuring 3 factions, hidden levels that unlocked secret beasts, and multiplayer modes for players to go head to head in open arenas.
The game received a 6.5 on Metacritic, with comments about low graphics, excessive difficulty, and sound issues. The game suffered from some very impactful setbacks, releasing short of the original vision.
Like any game designer, I have several different game designs I hope to one day release. One is a modern take on Savage Skies for a modern audience, giving it the design and attention it deserves. Riding mythical beasts into glorious battle is just too fun to not want to do! The game doesn't need to be a huge commercial success, but designing flying monsters for different factions aesthetics would be such a fun project.
Have you played this underrated gem? Do you know another gem people sleep on?
