We are relaunching Dorset Council’s assets and property team. On a journey from estate management to place making. If you are looking for a new opportunity, check out the link. dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/assets-…

Holidaying in Normandy. My wife attempted to buy a card for our 33rd wedding anniversary today. And chose one that wishes the newly-wed brides a long and happy marriage.

#FathersDay surprise was a trip to the British Motor Museum at Gaydon followed by dinner at the fabulous Gourmet Food Kitchen in Coventry. Lovely weekend! Pictured are a select few fave cars: TR7 with tartan trim, Rover SD1 Estate, Jensen FF and the Lotus Europa. @BMMuseum

Spring has arrived, so time to wake her up. Lots of work done over the winter and straight through today’s MOT, no advisories, no nothing. Not bad for a 32-year old car. @celicaclubuk

I don’t understand, third runway at Heathrow, Oxford-Cambridge Arc and Lower Thames Crossing, but not HS2?

All of local government holding its breath this week, for the devolution White Paper today and the financial settlement on Wednesday (at least I think Wednesday, I’m losing track). Is it the end for District Councils?

Great day at Castle Coombe. Didn’t get onto the track myself on this occasion, but watching the last drifting of the season was superb!

Hi, @EmmaSleepTech I placed my order on 11th October and there’s still no sign of delivery and it’s practically impossible to contact you via your website. I’m not impressed so far.

It was good to meet our new MP @SimonforStroud at The Long Table this evening and wish him luck in his new role.

Congratulations to my old friend @RichParkerLab - new West Midlands Mayor!

Fascinating to hear of the origins of Business Improvement Districts in London in the 1990s and the continuing role of public private partnership in place shaping. #mjfutureforum

Great to see the hare mosaic repaired and reinstated in Brewery Square, Cirencester - well done to @joeharrispark and former colleagues @PublicaGroup

Thank you to Joe for the guided tour of @RSPBMinsmere this morning - on the way out we saw a Spotted woodpecker.

Celica rally day. Mynydd Mawr, Wales.

Sad and difficult day for the many hard-working and dedicated public servants at @BhamCityCouncil - some will say it’s been a long time coming but BCC are a powerhouse in regeneration and levelling up and deserve great respect for what they do in Britain’s second city.

I don’t have a high opinion of Elon Musk. I am not excited by Teslas. But if I had £80k to spare, I would be putting in an order for the AWD #cybertruck!

My dear wife has decided on a day at the spa so unfortunately I have to drink coffee and read my book at the Lygon Arms and maybe later have a walk up Broadway high street. What a trial.
