The river Thames and the wall on the far bank seen from the terrace of Parliament on a sunny day.

A similar perspective taken earlier this year. The distant wall is now covered with red painted hearts.

Nine years ago today, I was at the House of Lords in support of DementiaUK and took this photograph. I didn't know then how important that wall across the water would become to me. The second photo was taken from the same vantage point earlier this year. ♥️

I have to share my friend's beautiful tribute to her husband on the anniversary of his death. It's so lovely. ♥️

One of the volunteers is back from a trip to the States - with loot! My favourite seasonal treat... 🙂🎃 #CandyCorn.

Let's have a guess... x

Four women standing outside the UK covid inquiry holding up signs that read, 'The dead can't hear your apologies.'

I see that disgraced former PM Boris Johnson is giving 'evidence' again at the UK #CovidInquiry next week.

On this #ThrowbackThursday, I'm remembering these heroes who stood up the last time he testified, refusing to accept his attempted apology. ♥️

PPE firm linked to Michelle Mone misses deadline to repay £122m Firm was ordered by high court to return sum paid by DHSC for unusable surgical gowns by 4pm on Wednesday

Now there's a surprise. 🙄

Remembering two years ago in the glorious south of France... #ThrowbackThursday #ColourADay #ColorADay #YellowThu

Noooooooo!! #TheTraitors

ps We were celebrating early (in case you catch me celebrating again later this month 😆)...

Early birthday! 🙂 We're both at the end of the month, but had to celebrate early because logistics. 🎂

Finishing with our kind of birthday cake. 🎂

A plate with cod, a rosti, spinach, and bisque.

That prawn and potato rosti? 10/10.

A small rin of caviar on ice, with egg, onion, and crème fraiche accompaniment. The plate reads "Randall & Aubin".

The bestie and I couldn't make it to France this year for our joint birthday celebration - so we had to find a little bit of France in London. 🇫🇷🇬🇧

Oh, yes please. Would love to see it. ♥️

Love this!

This thread... 😆🏺

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

😆😆😆 Thank you for starting my day with a laugh. x

The Regent's Street Christmas lights are up but not lit. The picture is of one of the huge angels that spans the street.

Defying gravity... #London

Not mine. Pinched off t'internet- but agree. So pretty!

😬

Well done, Jo - an amazing accomplishment!

Monday.

Vince's headstone in Highgate Cemetery. There are pink roses in front of it, and a single pink rose lying on top of it. A strong ray of sunlight coming from left of frame illuminates it like a spotlight.

Today was a perfect blue and gold October day, just like 29 years ago.

My boy always did love a spotlight... ♥️

♥️♥️♥️

I was so, so happy. I know you know what that's like. x

A photo of my husband and me on our wedding day. I'm laughing and showing a lot of gum, deliriously happy. He is at the edge of the photo, smiling and looking at something offscreen.

12 October 1996. ♥️
