Outside the pub right now, waiting for my grocery delivery to be delivered and the camera car is here. He drives up and down the road, instantly and automatically fining anyone without a permit. I think it’s wrong. So I’m stood in the road being pathetic and childish and delaying him from ruining peoples evening. This country is just plummeting to the bottom and I think we’ve all had enough. Never thought I’d reach this level.
Mornin’. A ridiculously early time to get up, but this morning is finally the day of my operation. On the off chance that I survive it, I’ve got some very exciting news about what’s coming very soon. Until then, have a great morning.
The presentation baton and medals of Major James Causley Windram. On 18th June 1944 he was the Director of Music when The Royal Military Chapel was hit by a V-1 flying bomb. He was one of the 121 people who lost their lives. 🙏 @ColdstreamGds @TheGuardsChapel
A small fragment of what is believed to be part of the V-1 flying bomb that hit The Royal Military Chapel in London in June 1944, killing 121 people. It was donated to @guards_museum during the last century & is not on public display. @TheGuardsChapel
Fantastic VE Day 80th anniversary commemoration service this evening in Wimbledon Village. The service was very well attended.

What do you mean it's Monday AGAIN?
Hearing dog in training Ozzy pretty much sums up how we feel about Mondays, but getting to pause for playtime certainly makes it a little easier 🐾🥰
Looking forward to working on VE and VJ Day 80 - and covering many of the military events including a procession and flypast. It’s always an honour to meet with the veterans and their families who will be at the heart of the commemorations. #thanksgiving#remembrance#VEDay80 👇��
"Excuse me, I think you forgot my 'boop'?" 🐶
The wonderful hearing dog Valley accompanies her deaf partner Ana to university and always does such a brilliant job settling in lectures & other environments.
Valley was partnered with Ana back in 2020 and we're so proud of her 🐾
One of the few perks of getting to 16, is being lifted in and out of the vehicles. As it’s raining hard this morning, I’ve been out and thought I’d post this photo taken in the last few days in the sunshine. 🐾
Kyra heard someone say how autumnal it was feeling so found a seasonal snack to match.
She's a Bio Detection Dog in training and we believe the first Hovawart to be using her nose to detect disease.

Nutmeg had his very first visit to the garden centre 🐾🪴
He's in the third stage of his hearing dog training and garden centres are the perfect place to work on his 'sit' and 'wait' whilst exploring public places in his new training jacket 🐕🦺
Well done Nutmeg 🎉
We are deeply sad to learn of the passing of serving PD Buzz from West Midlands Police 🌈 He sadly passed away of a heart attack, and will be missed greatly by his handler and colleagues. Thank you for your loyal service Buzz, you will not be forgotten. 💙🐶🇬🇧
