Nice relaxing Saturday today with a cuppa ☕️ Had a fabulous 8 course tasting menu at Restaurant Two Three Six in Leicester with my eldest and my youngest, last night. A lovely evening was had by all.

Good morning, I am live on BBC Radio Leicester (again) this time for a ‘Tea Time’ slot 11:30am with Summaya Mughal, to discuss interesting things going on across the region.

With a cup of coffee and a biscuit (very civilised).

Question: Is there an official way to share an account on here (for my work feed) so that both I and my team can post?

Or do I have to be lapse with my security?

Good morning, I am giving a 5min presentation to an audience of 200, in the middle of the Cultural & Creative Industries Strategy launch event, for my city, today.

Good morning,

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling…

Tired and a bit grumpy actually…

Good,
I'm feeling good!

Well here we are, probably not going to be here often, have shied away from the socials since they went so negative and confrontational - still do them for work though…
