Well, what a special day. A trip to London and Buckingham Palace for a royal garden party with my gorgeous wife @BeccaHembrough. Amazing to be alongside her and many others invited for contributing to their communities meaningfully and making a difference where they live.
@keithfraser2017 Was there for the weekend @keithfraser2017 We’re so lucky in Brum to have such beauty, nature, history at our doorsteps. Would have been fun to cross paths out hiking
ECSS in Bruges. 2012 ish? Kev thoroughly enjoyed this trip (he liked a wee trip!).
Alongside the Belgian beer, he enjoyed 'hangin out' with friends and colleagues in the market squares & listening to the new science.
2 years today & always in our thoughts.
