I love hearing my dad, Victor Ruskin, talk about his time in the Merchant Navy. This is the ship that he trained on.
My grandfather, also Victor Ruskin, served in WWII, and he was at Dunkirk.
My shop is named for them.

Today is Merchant Navy Day ⚓

We take the time today to honour and remember all of the men and women who have made sacrifices as part of the UK Merchant Navy. We also would like to thank them for their continued dedication to their vital work.

@BeingBoycie I love that photo, we had so much fun that night.
We also found out that John wasn’t the only comedian in the marriage! 😂❤️

[Ruskin de la mer @RuskinRap]

@BeingBoycie It must be. I do hope it feels like home very soon.
Lots of love and hugs from us both. Xx

[Ruskin de la mer @RuskinRap]

@BeingBoycie Good evening, hope you’re doing ok, and settling in.
We’re waiting impatiently for the sunshine as per usual.
Colin popped in to say hi yesterday, and introduced me to Daniel Peacock. ❤️

Every time I look at this I get angry. Six months after John died somebody came into the garden at night & made a hell of mess dragging this cast iron bench,leaving a scaffolding pole & a pair of bolt cutters on the path.I guess whoever it was knew that I’d be on my own.

Had an amazing day talking to year 5 & 6 kids about disability for @phab_charity . So many questions that I hope let them understand that 1 it's okay to be different 2 that things can done different ways & 3 they can all play a part in that change. A very good day.
