3st of weight shedded since April 10th. 3st to go 💪
The trigger for me was being told "That's the highest blood pressure I've ever recorded, and I've been doing this for years". I tried to word this delicately but couldn't - if you're really fat like was/am, get your BP tested.

I stopped up the lane on the way home today and caught the most magical moment with hares boxing right in front of the car!

It was a 'testing new kit' afternoon yesterday. Staff enjoyed trying out our new pedal powered Dad's Boat and one of the new Hansa dinghies. We can't wait to share these new exciting editions to our fleet with you all!

28 yrs ago today, there was sunshine in the sky and a smile on Tim’s face as he went to buy Everton shorts. 2 men had other plans - to bomb a shopping street. Their plan succeeded but Tim’s did not as his smile died with him on that dark day. RIP Tim x

And of course the loudest dissenting voices after tonight's announcement will be from the people who haven't followed one bloody rule since last March. #lockdownuk #Lockdown3

Our 2nd outreach sailing trip in partnership with @NancyOldfield, took place on Monday. The trip saw refugees from The Ivory Coast, Iran, and The Congo take part in sailing activities and was organised by the school's Amnesty group. The school also covered the cost of the trip

This week we’ve seen an otter just up from our base, & whilst out canoeing yesterday our visitor saw kingfisher a skimming the waters edge. A paddle on an autumnal day - perfect!
Get in touch for info on accessable canoeing, rafted canoeing and supported canoeing available.

We ❤️ our staff and volunteers! They're always ready to help, oversee and support. A super special bunch they are!

It seems unthinkable that we have already reached this time of year! Winter maintenance commences with the first of the Yeoman in the shed, only the rest of the fleet to go! Coffee and sandpaper at the ready!

Jumping into a dock or river may seem to be a great way to cool off.
Don't!
Cold water kills!
It's as simple as that. Below the surface of the most inviting waters lies a deadly band of cold. It will take your breath away and send your body into shock.

Thanks for the mention. We are all rightly proud of the history that underpins the modern day Marine Policing Unit, still operating from the very same location in #Wapping two centuries later.
#OnThisDay 220 years ago George III granted royal assent to a bill turning the 2-year-old Marine Police Force from a privately- to publicly-run unit. It would later become the Met's Thames Division & is now @MPSonthewater. #OTD #OnThisDayInHistory #NationalMarineWeek
