Visit to Cartwright Hall, Lister Park this morning to see The Turner Prize exhibits. Really interesting, and great to have it in Bradford. Thought-provoking and interesting artist stories too. #bradford #turnerprize #cityofculture #bradford2025

After suggesting a dog should be on a lead after it attacked me whilst riding, steadily testing my knee, on the canal side yesterday, I was told "you should be on a f... lead, and get on the f... road" Really nice man. #shipley #leedsliverpoolcanal 🤷🚴♀️

Couldn't watch the rugby whilst in Spain, but did listen to the commentary. I'm a very proud ex teacher of Ellie Kildunne, and I was her Head of Year in Year 11! I was also Head of Careers and had to give her career advice!!! 🏉🏉 #englandrugby
