The lockdown anniversary reminded me of my own fitness journey that started then.
This chap has been an amazing fitness buddy over the last 5 years - no fees, no travel time, and only need a small space and some dumbbells

Had a blast presenting to an NPQEL cohort today.
First time I’ve been able to blend teaming with trust work in a talk!
Lots of challenges for trust leaders but this was such a brilliant group
