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 🤷🚴♀️

Incomers: the myth vs reality of refugees in the UK

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

Not being able to cycle at the moment is killing me, but having a very chilled break in Galicia to compensate. Asturias next!

Would you push someone off this 54-foot ladder?
Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

Back in Oxford, and staying in uni accommodation, 6 years of ferrying the girls to uni, several years ago. But of course, if you've been to uni here, you simply have to get married here! Wedding to attend tomorrow! Flowers to arrange first; my job today! #motherofthebrideduties

Hope the cyclist is ok. I'm sure they didn't crash into the HGV though.

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives.
In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%.
That's why we need to see more 20mph areas.
