This morning I’m starting my new job in Cornwall. Went for an early walk on Fistral beach and took this picture of the dunes. When I looked at it after it struck me it’s also quite like the shape of Cornwall.

That’s it folks, after 6 years @cabinetofficeuk today is finally my last day in the Policy Innovation Unit leading @PolicyLabUK & @openinnovteam - it’s been the most amazing experience & I’ve loved every minute. I’ll miss the wonderful team. A big thank you for this fab cake👇💕

What does your home office look like? We’re finalising the Little Book of Remote Working for @CivilServiceDI and we’d love to include pics of civil servant workspaces (everything from desks to kitchen tables). Tweet us a picture if you'd like yours to be included! #lockdownlife

Civil servants are often the most silent public servants. There to help, yet always eschew the limelight. Humble servants, quietly, studiously, strenuously giving everything to make a better world for our future kids to inherit. #COVIDー19
