So proud of my oldest son for passing the RAF appitude test with flying colours (!) Next step is choosing his career path, between aeronautical engineer & cyberspace communications. Any advice gratefully received! He also just got his cast off from his broken wrist, woo!

Tipping down 👌

I am en route to the Labour Party Conference 2024. It’s going to be a great weekend!

A chaotic journey to Liverpool so far, lifts out of order, standing room only on the first train for 90 mins, dash to catch the second one, only just made it. Opened my breakfast (bought at first station): mouldy Let’s home the third and final train to Liverpool has less drama!

And the best part of my journey: Earphones and iPhone will NOT stop switching back to playing Wham’s Last Christmas every few minutes, no matter what I do. Perfect

“Walk like you have 4,000 ancestors behind you.” I first heard that quote—attributed to an ancient African proverb—around the time when my son was born. It hit hard. How many tiny moments contributed to you being here right now? You’re never alone. You’ve got an army behind

Finally arrived in Liverpool to find there’s a delay on my pass. So I’m enjoying a trip down the local high street to Lidl

We are in Liverpool for the start of The Labour Party annual conference. The first one in 14 years with Labour in government! The Prime-minister Keir Starmer & Deputy PM Angela Rayner have arrived for what is going to be a unique conference #changebegins #Lab24 #LabourConference

We are fixing the foundations and rebuilding our country. Change begins.

The happy smile of someone who’s received this conference pass for #Lab24
