What a joy to join Marcus (aka thehullboy) for part of his Land’s End to John O’Groats route today—we did nearly 7K Leyland to Preston at the end of his day! He’s such a lovely lad and is aiming to be the youngest person to run the route to raise money and awareness for @mindcharity.bsky.social

Desperately sad to share that our beautiful, brave boy Miles passed away this week after just 30 days with us.

He was always loved, always wanted, always cherished and will always be a special part of our family 🩵

It’s #umbUKfest day! Absolutely blown away by Asim Hussain from the Green Software Foundation talking all about shifting the power in sustainability 🍃
Asim is stood on the left of a slightly raised stage. On the right is a projector screen reading “doing for sustainability what open source did for software”

Great night at the #umbraco Manchester meetup—an excellent talk on building your own Umbraco Copilot from @callumbwhyte.bsky.social!
A large TV screen is behind a tall table with dark grey metal legs and a wooden top. The TV reads “Build Your Own Umbraco Copilot”. Callum is to the right of the table wearing dark clothes.
