Lovely day at the cricket in Wellington. Felt like it could be close at the end but Black Caps kept their nerve. Well done NZ. Well deserved series win #NZEngalnd

Enjoying my time back in London. At National Gallery this morning for exhibition of Mexican artist José Maria Velasco (have a thing for Mexico, a wonderful country). Incredible I could also wander about and see Turners, Cézannes and Monets. I may have taken it a bit for granted when I live here!

Stunning day in Ōtepoti Dunedin. At Aramoana beach earlier. Saw a bunch of hoiho (yellow eyed penguins) mucking about in the surf and a couple of Royal Albatross gliding across the harbour mouth. Feeling the love for this special corner of NZ 🤩.

Stunning morning in Ōtepoti Dunedin today. Perfect for a coffee at the beach and watching the surfers (and the occasional sealion).

Just looking in to flights for a trip to UK in the summer. Hmm, maybe we’ll go via Asia.

Congratulations 🥳 @bsky.app on reaching 30 million users. Nice to see the steady growth and establishment of critical mass. A much better experience than Twitter. Here’s to 30 million more.

I've seen a lot of this image alongside reports of Trump's Airforce 1 press conferences. What I can't work out is whether he is going into or coming out of the airplane toilet.

First trip to Fiordland since moving to NZ. Definitely lived up to expectations. Also seems to be the place NZ is hiding its summer away at.

I’m a big fan of our sea lions 🦭 in Ōtepoti Dunedin. They’re incredible creatures, especially when you see them in the surf. Here’s some beauties I saw recently on a local beach.
