Charity comms / faith / philanthropy / football / (park) running / wild swimming / parenting… probably a fair amount of nonsense too. Living in Biggleswade (Beds), championing vital community organisations across London.

Don’t know if I have seen that one (but maybe I have just forgotten?!) 😂

Do tell, which movie was so forgettable that you forgot you had already seen it…?! (Been there, done that!)

This little beauty popped up in our garden earlier this week 🐍 #GrassSnake #UKReptiles #Bedfordshire #UK

Yesterday I filmed a steam engine racing past near my house - it’s not often you get to see them in full flight like this… a nice bonus on my lunch time walk! #Britannia

Any of the #wildswim folks on here seen #RaveOnForTheAvon? I saw it last night in London and it was brilliant. They are taking it round the country so catch it if you can: www.eightysita.com/raveonforthe...

A great day of family time - including a player of the match performance… now I have just finished making 12 origami doves for Sunday School in the morning 😂 (Can anyone relate?!)

I remember doing a version of this - ‘3 rings when you leave’ so you would know the likely arrival time. Every time we visited my cousins or vice versa. Seems bizarre now but then… essential family etiquette 🙂

Being a parent means, no matter how old your kids are, it becomes inbuilt when driving past a field with horses in it to automatically exclaim “Look! Horsies!”

It probably betrays my age (and my long association with children’s work) but I feel like the meeting booths at our new office space are a bit too much like gunge tanks… 😂

Actual Christmas was good but Swimmer’s Christmas was even better! Only my second ice-breaking ice swim, but so so good #wildswimming #iceswimming

Well worth it. It’s on Netflix. Honourable mention too for Carry On with Taron Egerton… essentially Die Hard 2 Lite 🙂

Have you seen Violent Night Rob? It’s like they went, “how do we make Die Hard but with all the emphasis on Christmas so there can be absolutely no disputing (even has a whole sequence homaging Home Alone!)
