So yesterday we saw a baby seal pup being born in the wild!!! 😍
Such a privilege.
It’s always nice to visit Donna Nook at this time of the year, when seals are up on the sands having their pups, but we’ve never seen one actually being born before.
Amazing

The thing about being #vegan is that it’s so difficult to find nice food when eating out. Particularly when you’re on holiday somewhere where they are famed for their seafood and meat…Japan for example… 🇯🇵

Cracking Ryder Cup.
Some amazing golf.
Perhaps if the Americans had been paid just a little bit more money they might have nicked it…😉😎
Seriously though, the US comeback today was unbelievable, but Europe had done enough the first two days.

Another brilliant night at Hull Truck watching Pride and Prejudice.
A classic, very humorously done and with great background music too.

Loving watching the England 🏴 Women’s Rugby #RedRoses opener in the #RWC2025 against USA 🇺🇸
England are winning comfortably, but it’s been a great game.
Kildunne and Jones have both been brilliant, but all of England’s front row players have been outstanding. Dominating the scrums consistently

If you’re in East Yorkshire and fancy #vegan food I’d thoroughly recommend Nut & Nettle, in the Queens Hotel pub, in Bridlington. Delicious! 😋

Even if you haven’t got your tickets it’s not too late. Just pay at the gate.
Only £30 for 10 stages running from 12.00 to 23.00 and a Silent Disco and loads of other stuff, is a bargain
Get on your dancing shoes 🎶 💃 🕺
