Raising a glass to the year that was and the one ahead 🥂
Remembering those we lost and honouring absent friends. You’re missed and never forgotten.
Here’s to courage, becoming our best selves, and going after what we want—no holding back.
Happy New Year ✨
@thehistoryguy This part of the Passchendaele 100 commemoration events is the one that stands out the most - goosebumps hearing their voices and their words projected onto the Cloth hall. I still don’t know how I ended up next to the Royal box to watch it all.
Training has begun for the Help for Heroes #DDay80 Battlefield bike ride next year. Health issues stopped me riding a road bike - However @Specialized_UK have stepped in with the Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon E-bike…won’t lie - INCREDIBLE. Training updates and review coming soon 😍
Just off a @LNER train, Certain @Gailporter was on board, without a doubt one of the nicest celebs…she made time to speak to ever crew member, greeting them like old friends, you can see it really meant a lot to them. #heartwarming#legend wish I told her in person. #anxiety
My boss recommended watching @RealRonHoward’s #ThirteenLives because - and these are his exact words “its incredible, they had to euthanise the kids to get them out”…I didn’t correct him. It is however an incredible story and beautifully shot - highly recommended.
In this cemetery is the grave of my Great*4 Grandad James Carter Steele. He lays in the shadows of Arbroath Abbey - the birthplace of Scotland & is only a stones throw from William the Lion - King of Scotland 1165 to 1214. @HistEnvScot#Arbroath#History#Scotland#cemetery
Stunning…just stunning. Maybe got a little emotional watching the @RAFBBMF’s Lancaster fly over Masham Steam Rally earlier today. Told Lily is was especially for my birthday tomorrow - she’s 5…she believed me 🤣🤣 #lancaster#bbmf#WW2#History#epic
6 years ago today - I saw this headstone in the Pozières British Cemetery. The final resting place for 2760 Soldiers, half unidentified. The surrounding wall has a further 14,000 names for those who have no known grave. I think of this headstone everyday. #cwgc#WW1#WeRemember
Our 5 year old has mastered the art of hiding sweets around her car seat on an alevening 🍬🍭 - which she then eats on the early school run when we’re not looking!! #Genius#Smart#caught
