Before & after. A long old slog, but worth it. Just the bathroom to do now!

Just heard Emily Scarratt is hanging up her boots. An absolute GOAT whose presence will no doubt be sorely missed around the England Squad. At her pinnacle, the greatest player of all time in my opinion, a player who made #Rugby look easy. Oh & a bloody nice person as well!

Enjoy your retirement!

There’s a Greyhound in there somewhere, but at least she ain’t on the sofa. #RescueGreyhound #Dogs #Greyhound

It’s going to take a hell of a good team to beat the Canadian team in next week’s final! #RWC2025 #Rugby

During his interrogation by Soviet Forces one of Hitler’s top Officers Field Marshall Von Rundstedt was asked what was the most important Battle that changed the war in his view. He said it was their failure to defeat the RAF in 1940. We know it as the Battle of Britain. #BattleOfBritainDay

Just popped up on my memory thingy.

My Recce Rover, Germany 1992 I think? And me hard at work Radio Relaying in the late 80s. Happy Days! #BritishArmy #RoyalSignals #Ptarmigan

On this day in 1992, I had the good fortune of marrying this amazing Lady. After being with me for the 5 previous years, I was gobsmacked that she said yes! But here we are, a lot of years later, now in our forever home, looking forward to the future. Happy Anniversary Lizzie, love ya x

There is absolutely no point in him coming home on leave & not putting him to work. The lad removing 50 year old wall paper. We have a chimney to clean too…

For everyone who’s like “wait, how did we get here, we had a Black president only a few years ago” I would remind them that history is not progressive and for every move towards greater equality, there is a conservative backlash towards an older status quo based off fear of the “other”
