“I’m Piglet.” Christopher Robin shook his head. “Oh, you’re not Piglet. I know Piglet well, and he’s quite a different colour.” Piglet began to say that this was because he had just had a bath. “I shall call it Pootel,” said Christopher Robin. “Henry Pootel for short.”~A.A.Milne

You don’t need to sell your soul and integrity when you work in national roles You can keep your spine intact And deliver improved outcomes for the public Anyone who says otherwise is lying You absolutely can keep your moral compass That is the tweet for this #SundayEvening

Pooh could get his chin on the bottom rail if he wanted to, but it was more fun to lie down and get his head under it, and watch the river slipping away beneath him… and it slipped away very slowly, being in no hurry to get there. ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivation #calm

“For my father, the country was where you went to ride a bicycle, climb a hill, look for birds’ nests, play golf. He couldn’t just BE in the country, sitting or strolling aimlessly. It had to be a proper walk, with purpose. And you had to be with somebody.” ~C.R.Milne #tuesday

“Nobody keeps me informed,” said Eeyore. I make it 17 days come Friday since anybody spoke to me.” “I was here myself a week ago,” said Rabbit. “Not conversing. You said ‘Hallo’ and Flashed Past. I saw your tail as I was mediating my reply.” ~A.A.Milne #LonelinessAwarenessWeek

“If we can’t pull you out, Pooh, we might push you back.” Rabbit scratched his whiskers and pointed out that, when once Pooh was pushed back, he was back, and of course nobody was more glad to see Pooh than he was, still, some lived in trees and some lived underground. ~A.A.Milne

“I was shy, solitary, awkward in company. Alone by the river, alone through the fields, alone on the top of the Forest. Sitting alone on the grass in the sunshine. Walking alone through the woods at night. Alone with myself. Alone - yet never lonely.” ~C.R.Milne #lonely

Piglet knew he had done all that he could to save himself. “So now,” he thought, “somebody else will have to do something, and I hope they will do it soon.” And then he gave a very long sigh and said, “I wish Pooh were here. It’s so much more friendly with two. ~A.A.Milne #friend

And there would I rest, and lie, My chin in my hands, and gaze At the dazzle of sand below, And the green waves curling slow, And the grey-blue distant haze Where the sea goes up to the sky… ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivation

One day, Pooh made up a verse about the Thoughtful Spot, so that everybody should know what the place was for. This warm and sunny Spot Belongs to Pooh. And here he wonders what He’s going to do. Oh, bother, I forgot - It’s Piglet’s too. ~A.A.Milne #ThoughtfulSpot #tuesdayvibe

Christopher Robin finished the mouthful he was eating and said carelessly: “I saw a Heffalump today.” “I saw one once,” said Piglet. “At least, I think I did.” “So did I,” said Pooh, wondering what a Heffalump was like. “You don’t often see them at this time of year,” ~A.A.Milne

Eeyore came close to Pooh, and said in a loud whisper: “Could you ask your friend to do his exercises somewhere else? I shall be having lunch directly, and don’t want it bounced on before I begin. A trifling matter, and fussy of me, but we all have our little ways.” ~A.A.Milne

Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, “Extremely.” “Extremely what?” asked Rabbit. “What you were saying,” said Pooh. “Undoubtedly.” Piglet gave Pooh a nudge, and Pooh, who felt that he was somewhere else, got up slowly and began to look for himself. ~A.A.Milne #Daydreaming

Pooh and Piglet walked home thoughtfully together in the golden evening, and for a long time they were silent. ~A.A.Milne #SummerSolstice2025 #SummerSolstice #longestday #sun #stonehenge

“The year is arranged badly. Why should the days begin to get shorter at the moment when summer is fully arrived? I console myself with the thought that if 22nd June is the beginning of winter, at least there is next summer to which I may look forward.”~A.A.Milne #Summer

“Rabbit,” said Pooh to himself. “I LIKE talking to Rabbit,” He talks about sensible things. He doesn’t use long, difficult words, like Owl. He uses short, easy words, like ‘What about lunch?’ And ‘Help yourself, Pooh.’ I suppose, REALLY, I ought to go and see Rabbit.” ~A.A.Milne

"Tigger is all right, really," said Piglet lazily. "Of course he is," said Christopher Robin. "Everybody is really," said Pooh. "That's what I think, but I don't suppose I'm right," he said. "Of course you are," said Christopher Robin. ~A.A.Milne #tuesdayvibe #kindness

"Hills and valleys are unchanging: the lane still follows the ancient track that men have walked for a thousand years. And each year the seasons return. We may lose faith in mankind but we can never lose faith in the opening bud or the falling leaf." ~C.R.Milne #nature

Eeyore stood by himself and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, “Why?” and sometimes he didn’t know what he was thinking. So when Pooh came stumping along, Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little. ~A.A.Milne #OverThinking
