Now I am as enthusiastic as the next person about #HillFortsWednesday - but I think Pedro takes the dog biscuit for his love of Hod Hill in north Dorset. Flying over the ramparts and admiring what the Romans did to the place when they built their camp in the north west corner from AD 43

Trip advisor review not too enthusiastic- nothing more than a hill. Could save yourself the bother of revisiting …

Ensure suitably attired and armed …

Romans certainly knew how to build a straight road @HillfortsWednesday

Despite absence of an actual Hillfort, there is link enough I hope for #hillfortsWednesday - Ackling Dyke is the mighty Roman thoroughfare that links Old Sarum and Badbury Rings, and they both count. Just in time for sunset …

Was worried there wasn’t enough time to get ride in around univallate perimeter of Chiselbury Hillfort, just above the Fovant army badges for #HillfortsWednesday - but there is always time! Glorious evening strava.app.link/aTeD0sul7Wb

Stunning night for #TumuliThursday

#HillfortsWednesday is so yesterday - back to Kingston Lacey tonight for #TumuliThursday - is that thing @durotrigesdig.bsky.social - if not, can it be?

Little changed - along Roman Road heading north east from Badbury Rings to Old Sarum this evening #HillfortsWednesday

Roads little changed from this map to tonight’s #hillfortswednesday ride

I know, I know, I know, I know been here before, but what a stunning evening to ride across the mighty Badbury Rings for #HillfortsWednesday - love it! Pint in the Anchor at Shapwick went down a treat too

Glorious cycle ride along Ackling Dyke - the Roman thoroughfare that cuts right through the heart of the majestic Badbury Rings for #HillfortsWednesday strava.app.link/iezysP7oRUb

Doesn’t need an acute hospital bed, but end of life care shouldn’t take place in a corridor as I am sure you would agree. Not an either or situation - there should be viable alternatives

"To all the lovely midwives and doctors who cared for me and my baby, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. Your amazing care, kindness and laughter made all the difference. Thank you for everything!"

Some fab feedback here for our maternity colleagues. Well done team! 💙

We are promoting across @uhdnhs.bsky.social - aided by @emwelham.bsky.social - seems #NHS slower to cross over compared with universities etc

Bit of blue sky today to celebrate move to @bsky.app - didn’t cycle up funnily enough. Shaftesbury Abbey walls on right

Huge thanks to Darwin Group for helping us achieve this brilliant milestone! 🏗️👏🏼

A look back a last week as your MP for MDNP @libdems.org.uk

New moon, new year and new beginnings for @uhdnhs.bsky.social - after many years of planning by clinicians, over next months colleagues will be moving into our new Beach building to continue caring for our patients and new borns. Good luck for 2025 - going to be some year …
