Any chefs out there that can make use of this 10ft tall Bay tree I have for sale in my garden?? You’ll have to come and dig it up and take it away, but it will be cheap 👍

This is so sad 😭.

[Hairy Bikers @HairyBikers]

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.

Love Si x

I’m back 😀. After nearly a year of faffing with my Twitter (Sorry “x”) account, I’m finally back in. Not that I post much though…..

I just watched the programme on the legend @Rob7Burrow. Had me in tears. His wife, kids and parents are all so strong! It brought back memories of when my parents helped me after cancer and surgeries. I hope a cure can be found. Such an inspiring human. #mnd @burrow_geoff

@razzli_ I actually really like Harry and Meghan, they are an amazing young couple, trying to get on with their lives. We need to ditch the racism angle though, it’s toxic. Plus, Meghan is about as black as I am a purple underground elephant. It’s ridiculous.

@liamgallagher How will you feel on stage at Knebworth??

@exitthelemming I can't understand how anyone would believe a word that comes out of that man's mouth. I also can't believe he and his cabinet still have jobs. They are taking the piss out of all of us, constantly.

I treated myself to a new camera this week. A proper "boys with toys" moment, and as yesterday was such a beautiful day, my first photos with it were of these blue tits that are in my garden. I will get better with time 😀 @ChrisGPackham #canon #photography

This maybe an unpopular opinion but the booing by the liverpool fans should NOT be condemned, especially by anyone in a political role. I believe you should never condemn free speech or beliefs. I don't agree with the booing, but that's my opinion. #booing #YNWA #Liverpool

Happy Friday everyone. It's taken 13.8 billion years for the universe to get us all to this point, so go out and enjoy every second of our shared existence. ❤️🙏 #Friday #HappyFriday

@BoneheadsPage So sorry to hear this Bonehead, I'm gutted for you. I know exactly how you're feeling. You have all my thoughts and prayers 🙏 . Your music got me through my cancer and treatments, and I'm happy to say I'm still here. All the best ❤️
