Me and my mate Emma (who beat me by 15 mins!) after today’s Lighthouse Marathon. Knackered but happy. Stunning day, brilliant event.

Just been evacuated from the swimming pool at Butlin’s Minehead because some kid released a chocolate hostage in the water. Dark times.

Yesterday’s Newquay Championships marked the end of a memorable gig rowing season. A great 2nd place in our first round race, followed by a hard-fought 4th in the quarter finals. Ready for some time away from the boat, but so proud to have rowed with this brilliant young (annoyingly young!) crew.

Got myself a Martin HD-28 yesterday. I’m a very lucky boy! The sound this thing makes is just ridiculous.

Fantastic but long day of rowing and organising at Fowey Regatta yesterday. Perfect weather, some great racing, and all visiting clubs seemed to have a brilliant time. Proud of our club and our sport. #gigrowing #Cornwall

The Cornish chough vanished in 1973.
Gone from the cliffs. Gone from the skies.
Then in 2001 – 3 returned.
Now in 2025? 300+ wild choughs call Cornwall home again.
A local legend reborn. A real-world comeback. 🐦🔥

Really hitting the pool table in our Dorset holiday house hard. I just played a positional shot with mega screw-back that legit would have got a rapturous applause in the Crucible. My daughter was the only witness and she could not give less of a shit.
