Amazing sunset tonight #devon #bishopsteignton

Phenomenal event in Brixham today for the second South West Sardine Festival ! Great numbers of people attending and lovely atmosphere - all so well organised by @MitchTonks and @therockfishuk ! Good that @matt_tebbutt got to enjoy the superb @EnglishRiviera weather again !

It’s quite mild in a suit in the City today ……. – at City of London, London

It’s been an honour and a privilege to chair the BID Board during the second term and I would like to pay tribute to the hard work and dedication of all of the staff, board, levy payers and supporters who have ensured that the next five years of funding is secure.

I’m absolutely delighted that the @ERBIDCo has been overwhelmingly successful in securing a third term in the ballot result announced this afternoon with a Yes vote of 77% ! This secures the funding of destination marketing for the whole of the @EnglishRiviera until 2031 !

Honoured & delighted to be invited to make a speech to welcome our international & national guests on behalf of the @ERBIDCo to the glorious @EnglishRiviera at the Opening Ceremony of the SUP World Cup. 1st time that the event has been hosted in the UK & everyone loves our Bay !

Back from an amazing day and phenomenal atmosphere for the @WestHam game at @LondonStadium today. What a win ! Love an injury time winner !

A few days late to post but as a legal partner of the @PCA @marcoatwollens and I were delighted to attend the pre season launch event @TheNedLondon last week. Was great to catch up with @Trescricket and @BenWarrenSCCC and to meet the England Women’s Head Coach @C_Edwards23 !

Would the penguin lovers amongst you like a little video of penguins jumping on and off an ice floe ? I’m sorry for laughing at the collision at 16 seconds !!! (Not really - still chuckling 😂)

Returning via Ushuaia billed as the world’s southern most city & the “End of the World” & on the Tierra del Fuego peninsula. It has a good view of the end of the Andes ! It’s a 4 hour flight back to Buenos Aires where we went to a nature reserve & saw a venomous pit viper !

So @TUFC1899 @TUSTCOYY @goddywestie and Torquay United fans ! Is this the furthest south that a Torquay United hat has travelled ? 69 degrees 50 minutes south ! 220 miles inside the Antarctic Circle !

Last Antarctic stop on the way to the Drake Passage saw a total change of scenery at the volcanic Deception Island! Walked around crater rims & the steaming beach area with the old whaling station & British Research hut destroyed by the last earthquake. Plus a young elephant seal

In a trip full of superlatives our last day on the Antarctic Peninsula was outstanding.Great weather & landscapes, a continental landing at Portal Point, & a phenomenal number of active humpback whales with some so close that we got amazing pictures of their whole length. Superb!

Visiting Cuverville Island saw really amusing scenes with gentoo penguins jumping on & off ice floes, plus our first sightings of chinstrap penguins & fur seals, & more whales (one breaching) & weddell seals. Plus huge icebergs run aground in an iceberg graveyard ! Incredible !

Also on Petermann Island is a cross commemorating the loss of three British Antarctic researchers who attempted to walk across the frozen sea ice to the neighbouring research station but were never seen again.

Yesterday we headed north with more amazing vistas and ice floes with resting seals, before arriving at Petermann Island with thousands of gentoo penguins and a visiting leopard seal.We also saw a humpback whale fully breach out of the water last night which was a real spectacle

Yesterday we went to a narrow glacier channel called The Gullet. It isknown for orcas/killer whales pods.Once in the zodiac we encountered a leopard seal (they eat penguins and other seals) that had a pop at the zodiacs and also a weddell seal as well as more fantastic seascapes
