I took some Hundred playing shirts out to The Gambia last week. The staff at the nursery school where I’m a trustee thought they were great. Although I suspect they weren’t entirely sure what cricket is. As always, it was a fun and uplifting visit. #TheHundred

A wonderful, spontaneous and emotional moment after the match when Mo Salah conducted the Kop singing the Diogo Jota song. A lone figure, last down the tunnel, visibly moved.
An emotional evening. So loud. Absolutely bonkers when Chiesa scored. What a start to the season ❤️

So exciting to catch up last night with Brad and Holly Carter at their new restaurant Island in Mare Street Market at Coal Drops Yard. Amazing food, service & vibe. All the creativity & warmth we love about Carters - now in the capital. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend #coaldropsyard #london

In amongst the families, sequins & cowboy hats last night for Dua Lipa, there were a few groups of lads. You could tell, they were the lads who flew to Poland in 2018 & sat on a bus to Kyiv for 10 hours. The lads for whom I wasn’t sure how One Kiss would land. But boy, did it land!! That moment 🙏

Thank you @bbc5live.bsky.social for the fab commentary from Anfield yesterday. Definitely worth a listen for those who were there or watched on tv. The atmosphere shone through alongside the commentary - their description of the collective out breath & banner unfurling was very moving. Thank you x

I was impressed how many Essex CCC members came to Chelmsford today to support the Essex Women. Talking to a few members, they were keen to support and engage. It was a great day and we were made very welcome. Hopefully the Warwickshire members will get behind the Bears women’s team in the same way.

A great day of sport! A super performance by the Warwickshire Women meant I could whoosh back along the A14 & get the bunting out for the boys returning from Anfield. Well done all. Happy days always make the tough times easier to bear!
My bunting won’t win awards - it’s the thought that counts!

Enjoyed the display of artefacts at London Bridge station, found during its redevelopment. Especially the multi purpose bodkin - a hairpin, needle & an instrument for picking ear wax to recycle in the threading process!

On International Women’s Day, there is no ‘happy’ for me this year. I see our rights, our lives, threatened everywhere I turn. Our skills undervalued, despised by many. Looking at the ‘top table’, we are everything that’s missing.
Thank you to those who DO support us.
