Girls are speaking up, challenging outdated stereotypes and making their voices heard. But what role do girls’ schools have to play in today’s world?

We caught up with Helen Jeys, the new President of the Girls’ Schools Association @gsauk, to talk about why girls’ education matters more than ever, the tired old myths that need putting to bed and why giving girls the confidence to speak up is so important.

It’s a thought-provoking read that challenges assumptions and explores why the conversation around girls’ education is far from over 💬

Meet the coat we’re officially OBSESSED with this autumn 🍂🥾

Waterproof, ridiculously cosy and actually rather stylish? Introducing @delta_roam! 👋

Our fabulous Muddy Wellness Walk sponsors certainly knew how to keep us snug as we headed into the great outdoors.

Their gorgeous Beaumont Robes are a bit of a game-changer for countryside living. Think super-soft fleece lining, waterproof outer shells, clever breathable fabric and pockets galore (because where else are we supposed to stash our phone, keys and emergency snacks?).

Even better, they’re made using recycled materials, come in a selection of chic colours and are just as perfect for muddy dog walks and windswept weekends as they are for cheering from the sidelines of the kids' footie match.

Practical AND gorgeous? We’re sold.

A huge thank you to @delta_roam for sponsoring our Muddy Wellness Walk in support of @britishheartfoundation and keeping us looking rather fabulous along the way. ❤️ by @muddydorsetsomerset

We swapped screen time for the great outdoors at our very first Muddy Wellness Walk, sponsored by the brilliant @delta_roam, and what a gorgeous day it was!

We ambled across beautiful @Stonor Park, near Henley-on-Thame, Bucks enjoying the countryside, with plenty of nattering, a few rosy cheeks and lots of feel-good vibes. Oh, and some rather fabulous coats from our sponsors to keep us cosy and stylish along the way.

Best of all? We were walking in support of the wonderful @britishheartfoundation. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who pulled on their walking boots and joined us. Turns out fresh air, good company and a little countryside escapism really are the best medicine.

Same again next year? We think so! by @muddydorsetsomerset

Helena Miscioscia (pronounced ‘mishosha’), of @helena.m.photography is a super talented wedding photographer with a gift for capturing the essence of life’s most important moments, in Somerset, Dorset and beyond.

She specialises in elopement and micro weddings in the beautiful UNESCO world heritage city of Bath, including in the Roman Baths and the Minerva Temple.

Couples and families book Helena time and time again to capture their life milestones as she makes them feel relaxed around the camera. Her photographs are artistic, candid and beautiful, perfect to treasure in years to come.

We can vouch for Helena personally – she was the photographer who took all the beautiful shots of our amazing winners at the Dorset, Somerset & Bristol Muddy Awards 2026 at Hall & Woodhouse Bath.

We’re not only ones who think she’s incredible, as well as loads of extremely happy couples, her work’s appeared in places like The Telegraph, the Guardian and the Royal Birmingham Gallery of Artists. by @muddydorsetsomerset
