Further to earlier toots about words in #English architecture dependent on geography – it was only through years of hanging out with British friends that I realized their "garden" didn't actually mean a soil-turned, rows of flowers or veg. It was in fact just their "yard."

We here may have a garden in our yard or maybe not. In UK/Aus it could be that people have no "garden" at all in their garden.

Why isn't the London police HQ located at "Scotland Garden" though?

🌟Bridging Cultures🌟

👉🏽 In a time where diversity is often under attack, witnessing an inclusive community forming during my strength class at the Malden Senior Center was incredibly moving. Beyond the physical workouts, attendees from diverse cultural backgrounds are improving their #English skills through simple interaction.

📣Counting reps, repeating instructions, and sharing a heartfelt smile after I say "great job" – these moments aren't just about fitness; they're about building #community.
