🇦🇺Some news🇦🇺
Very excited that in a month’s time, I will be moving Down Under to try out life in Australia 🦘
I’ve always wanted to give it a go and for various reasons, now is the perfect time.
If any followers are in Melbourne, do let me know!
G'Day! As of Saturday I am now in Melbourne down under 🇦🇺
Really enjoying settling into a new city. If anyone local has any reporting roles going, please point them my way 👌

Happy birthday, Aardman! 🎉
The Bristol-based animation studio, which produced classics such as Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Chicken Run, has turned 50!
Cracking job 🧀
Unbelievable.
My instagram video about Adam’s Boomtown experience, is now the most liked social media post in the history of BBC local content 😮😮😮
17m views across Instagram and TikTok and commented on by the Prime Minister 🎉

I knew people would love Adam’s story from Boomtown, but the reaction to our content yesterday has already gone well beyond what I expected 🤯
Well over 5m views on instagram and commented on worldwide, inc some of the world’s biggest dj’s 👀
It’s only August, but could this be one of the feel good stories of the year?
Loved putting this together for Points West. Adzo and the Bristol lads are all absolute legends. They’ve changed his life without a doubt

Dramatic scenes on the Plimsoll Bridge in the Cumberland Basin a short while ago, with @AvonFireRescue hosing it down!
Seems the road surface got too hot & it’s still closed as things stand. More on @BBCBristol

We can announce that Gerhard Struber has been relieved of his duties as Bristol City Head Coach.
Roy Hodgson will take charge of the Men’s First Team until the end of the season, while the club will task the incoming Sporting Director with appointing a permanent Head Coach for the 2026/27 campaign.
The club’s recent performances have not met expectations and therefore Struber and Assistant Head Coach Bernd Eibler will leave with immediate effect.
my latest piece for @BBCSpotlight is about a worrying loss of bees this winter. It's thought the horrible wet weather we've had is to blame. More on the programme this evening #Bees #BBCSpotlight

Already enjoying getting stuck in!
Imagine just calling one of the Sheffield clubs “Sheffield” or Man United “Manchester” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Two boys, Leo Knight and Cartel Bushnell, found guilty of killing Mikey Roynon in Bath 2 years ago, are now free with their convictions overturned.
Thoughts with Mikey's family who're now dealing with more trauma... #MikeyRoynon

Following an hour long debate in parliament yesterday about alleged mismanagement at Jhoots Pharmacy, today I can reveal the chain owes thousands of pounds in rent, to a Somerset charity.
More to come on Points West tonight... #Jhoots
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c364…
Recently I made my Points West debut, reporting allegations the pharmacy chain Jhoots is failing to pay staff in the West Country.
Tomorrow a follow up piece is due to air and by chance, the issue was raised today in the House of Commons 👇
