After smashing the Dragon Ride 🐉 on Sunday I’ve signed up to do it all over again next year🤩 Plenty of #cycling to do before then but excited to take part in this epic event again in 2026 🚴🏻‍♀️

Soulful, thoughtful evening of music as Gregory Porter’s UK tour ended tonight in Cardiff. Thank you, Sir. And thank you to your wonderful support act Jo Harrop too for an exquisite start to the night ❤️🎤🎼

Forever thankful that friends and colleagues were all safe on that terrible day nine years ago today. Thinking of the 32 people who lost their lives, their families, and all those injured in the bombing attacks on Brussels Airport and Maelbeek Metro station, my local stop at the time 🖤💛❤️

Super-excited at the prospect of the men’s Tour de France 🇫🇷 coming to Wales in 2027 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I was lucky enough to see Greg LeMond win his third @letour on the Champs Élysées in 1990 🏆 It’s going to be even more special welcoming the race to Wales in two years’ time 💛 #cycling

Enjoyed visiting some of Den Haag’s museums and galleries today. In particular the Gevangenpoort where visitors are directed around by cat silhouettes 🥰
