When i see those i follow and the losses they’ve endured, in a way mine pales in comparison. 17 years ago today at 03.10am i got the call that changed my life. My Dad gained his wings and passed on. 17 years and i still can’t get over it. Dad RIP. Love and miss you always xxx💔
@eswater_care you messaged residents to say that you would start roadworks on the 19th June (cm132dr) coned the roads off blocking parking spaces and nothings started. People will become complacent and move your cones and park in an already congested road.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is
Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?
And somehow that is the whole point
I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it
From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again
When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak
The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them
But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus
Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it
A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it
And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care
And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off
He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard
That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show
We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product
That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was
And that is exactly why we keep watching
Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!
@AldiUK hi was this Orange and Mango Jungle Crush just a one off in store or is more stock coming. Can’t find it in any of the 8 Aldi stores near me. Thank you.

25/12/2006. Our 19th Christmas without you Dad. It never gets any easier as I stare at your empty chair. Happy Heavenly Christmas Dad. I love and miss you so much xxx
Only 4 days to go until my big challenge… 5 marathons over 5 consecutive days. I had my last training session today, and I can safely say it’s gonna be tough. If you’re able to share my page or donate anything at all, it’d be massively appreciated 💙 https://t.co/oIQ6oTk0yL
The day my precious Daughter learned she had #BrainCancer at just 11 years old. 💔
Even in that heartbreaking moment, she smiled. Ashley was unbreakable, fierce, hopeful & full of light through every step of her fight. She never gave up & her strength inspired everyone around her.
I am forever proud of my brave girl & so grateful to God for the 13 beautiful years He gave us with her.
I miss you every single day, sweet Ashley. ❤️
Help us keep Ashley’s story alive & give a powerful voice to Children fighting cancer. Your follow & repost would mean the world, helping spread vital awareness, drive research & deliver much needed support for our brave #ChildhoodCancer Warriors. 🙏
💜 Ashley 💜

I still can’t quite believe I’m a finalist in the @PrideOfBritain Awards. Thank you to @itvmeridian@DailyMirror@pandocruises
I’ll never be able to go shopping with Charlotte to choose her wedding dress. Instead I had to chose dress for her cremation.
I will be alone when I shop for an outfit for the awards. Maybe I’ll imagine I’m buying an outfit for her wedding. I wish with all my heart she was here with me.
Everything we do is for Charlotte, and for all those still facing this devastating disease.
Miles & I self-fund everything. No salaries No overheads No advertising No merchandise We even cover PayPal & PO Box fees ourselves That means 100% of every donation goes directly to research at Charlotte’s Lab, King’s College Hospital, London, a lab named in her memory. Charlotte was brave, kind, and wise beyond her years. She shared her journey openly on her YouTube channel, which has since reached millions around the world. Her legacy lives on through this work. If you are considering donating to a charity, please consider us. Your support truly makes a difference. Please RT with thanks
