The personal stories at ‘Our Windrush Story’ @HantsCulture have had a huge impact on visitors & all who worked with the inspiring people who made the exhibition a reality. The resilience of the Windrush generation and their commitment to this country is truly humbling. Thank you

So honoured to be invited to Basingstoke Caribbean Society and Friends celebration of 75th Windrush Anniversary. Proud to have worked with @EffieBlankson & the incredible community to deliver ‘Our Windrush Story’ at Willis Museum @HantsCulture and to share it with my family today

Ah, @ArcticMonkeys at Glasto. Exquisite stuff chaps 👌 My 13 year old has just informed me she’s ‘on strike’ (?) till I take her to Glastonbury or to see the Arctic Monkeys… (there are worse reasons to go on strike)

Ah, high speed rail 😊 Makes you just yearn for an extortionately priced, slow, smelly British train. Tomorrow I will realise that dream 😂

Always a pleasure to visit @MaryRoseMuseum - the gold standard in museum experience. Dive The Mary Rose, superb (but I knew it would be 😉) Thanks to Dom and all the team for your hospitality and generosity. Great to see the venue in such great shape and doing so well.
Was excellent to welcome the exceptional @pjsapwell and his team from @HantsCulture today to @MaryRoseMuseum @PHDockyard they even found time to Dive The Mary Rose 4D

Not many places in the world you can roll into town on a Sunday night and hear a thoroughly decent rendition of ‘Insomnia’ by a bloke on an acoustic guitar… Love an English pub, love Cornwall.

Finally lost my patience with the evil artificial lawn that was in situ when I moved in a few years ago. Hated it with a passion on every level. Though given the hardcore horror beneath it, definitely bitten off much more than I thought I was chewing on a few days off…

‘Corbel head-tastic’ experience @York_Minster today. These personal creative flourishes of 13th century stonemasons are my favourite thing right now.
