Parkrun, Bushy Park, 22/11/25.
What a privilege to run in alongside Paul Sinton-Hewitt and then to spend 10 minutes chatting to him in the funnel. An inspirational (and humble) leader.

England simply will not be beaten.
They came from behind once again at Euro 2025 to beat Spain 3-1 on penalties and retain their European Championship crown.
An extraordinary achievement from Sarina Wiegman's team.
