Honoured to win a Foreign Press Award last night for reporting from Ukraine. Possible thanks to BBC colleagues in London and Ukraine, to @RitaBurkovska, and to the generosity of the grieving family who let us tell their story. Thanks @dhdfisher@stuartmillar159@pdanahar and more
🎉Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday! When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we'd just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!
This wonderful bird photo from @danilic looks like musical notation. So, a couple of years ago, I tried to play it on the piano. Thanks to @edbrannigan for the idea. @BBCRadio3
“It’s time to say goodbye to the kiosk.” Valentina is leaving Moscow and going home to Kursk. In a world turned upside down, her newspaper kiosk has been an island of sanity for me. I’ll miss her. This is the story of her last day at work. #ValentinasKiosk
I had such a laugh joining these two broadcast heroes @fifiglover @janegarvey1 in basically a cupboard in the BBC to talk silk trousers, trim phones and of course 28ish Days Later. Thanks for having me ladies. https://t.co/rwSKpkhHbz
Listening to Slick by @MayeniJones and I must say Mayeni is a master storyteller. Anyone who wishes to understand the complex and “insane” relationship between Shell and Niger Delta communities should definitely listen to this one.

With no direct flights any more between Russia & the UK, home is feeling a long way away. Music helps. To everyone celebrating it, Happy St George’s Day. #StGeorgesDay@BBCNews@BBCRadio3
