Jo Cox, was murdered nine years ago today whilst doing the job she loved, serving her home community as an MP.

I will always remember her and work to create the united and inclusive communities that she believed in.

Came across a dozen or so #bumblebees gathering nectar this afternoon from a bloom-laden little laburnum in the pavement on the other side of the road from my house in London. The whole tree was a-hum with them.
