On the principle that a silent ally is no ally, I state categorically that I stand with my trans friends and with trans strangers in sorrow for the decision of the UK Supreme Court. Human Rights are everyone’s rights!!
This week has been bonkers, but I’ve managed to stay on top of things! Just!! Got to say goodbye to a great technician tomorrow as she moves on to a dream job working in ceramics. It’s been such a long week! I’m ready for the weekend!!

What a fabulous day! Lake swim, electricified my bike and just performed at the local Xmas light switch on! Yay for today!!

Another morning swim in the lake! Temp was 6.7 Celsius! Very chilly. Took a good while to warm up. But it was a glorious morning! Sunshine, smiles, nature all around. Felt great!

Couldn’t agree more!
Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.
