A great evening with friends earlier this week at the new Blue Note London seeing the great Jamie Cullum at the start of his two day stint-some brand new numbers, favourites and the odd classic Standard making it a very special evening for me. An excellent ensemble demonstrating real energy!

Thanks, Tim. Much appreciated. More to come soon!

Many thanks!!

A stimulating day at the As I Am Ireland National Autism Conference - delighted to be leading a session on Autism and Employment and working with international colleagues sharing best practice, experiences and information. More work needs to be done when misinformation is threatening progress made.

Magnificent St Laurence, Ludlow, , an absolute Marcher gem of a parish church, with the most magnificent choir and setting in beautiful Ludlow. Good to meet PCC members to discuss how help can be given to develop new heating and energy solutions. All part of our heritage and our future!

Wonderful to see these two cricket greats up in the Long Room @homeofcricket.bsky.social Thank you Stuart Broad and James Anderson for some brilliant cricket moments and memories. Another lovely day back at Lord’s with friends watching England secure a victory and a series win against Pakistan

As promised, more Gaudi! This time Casa Vicens by Gaudí in what was Gràcia village, now part of urban Barcelona. The house was built as a holiday home and has a languid, elegant feeling with cleverly designed windows. As a Lego builder I think that Casa Vincens is a prime candidate for a new model.
