Anyone been to the city of Narva in Estonia? Quite a fascinating place. It has a very different feel to the rest of Estonia, much more Russian. It has a lovely historic castle & nice riverside side promenade. The River Narva forms the border between Estonia and Russia. Pics I took in 2018. #estonia

A brilliant finale with closure to the story and for all the characters. Simply wonderful. Love how it was all wrapped up and the scene with Holly and her friends at the end - very touching and full circle. Thank you, Duffer Brothers. #strangerthings

I adore Stranger Things. I'm really going to miss this show once it's over. I've loved it from day one. #strangerthings 😭

Why are some people so obsessed with Spotify when it comes to streaming services? You'd think they were the only streaming service that exists the way some people go on about them! Give me Tidal any day. Better sound quality, ease of use, great for playlists & they pay the artists more too! #spotify

As well as the male competitors I posted in my previous video here's a video of clips I took of the brilliant female cyclists who took part in this year's BeKing charity event in Monaco. Lots of my faves there like Lorena Wiebes, Kasia Nieuwiadoma, Anna Van Der Breggen & Elena Cecchini. #procycling

The annual BeKing charity criterium event in Monaco was great again last month. I really enjoyed being there & seeing lots of my favourite cyclists in the fun, relaxed atmosphere of the event. Here's a clip I took of the mens competitors & Prince Albert II of Monaco on stage. #procycling #pogacar

Here is one of my photos of one of my favourite chimpanzees. Her name is Zeynep and she lives at Monkey World Primate Rescue Sanctuary in Dorset, UK. Such a beautiful sweet lady. Look into her eyes and see her soul. She's more human than we are and far more intelligent! #chimpanzees

Had a great week going to 4 stages of the Tour Of Britain cycling race. The last 2 stages were local to me, which was brilliant. Wonderful to see Geraint Thomas again but I feel sad that he's now retired & I won't see him racing again! Here's some pics I took of him in Cardiff. #cycling

Listen to this success story! πŸ’™
It's a decade since Syrian refugees arrived in Germany. Today, they're an indispensable part of the German workforce – especially in medicine! This is what the media SHOULD be showing you, instead of constantly pandering to the racists who just spread doom and gloom.

Farage and his brainwashed "followers" are vermin. Inbred lowlifes.

Hi. I'm going to 4 stages of the Tour of Britain. The last 2 stages are local to me, which is great. I'm also going to the Beking charity critérium again in November in Monaco. It's always fun. Other than that nothing else this year. I'll go to Strade Bianche again next Spring. 😊

... For standing up against injustices? You see, I see those as GOOD qualities to have. Good qualities to be commended for, nor condemned for. Qualities that seem sadly slacking in society as a whole today. We need a lot more Bonos in this world and a lot less Elon Musks! #u2bono

Why do people call Bono a knobhead & other silly unsavoury terms? Is it for doing countless work for charities, working for good causes, helping & caring about those less fortunate than ourselves? For having a conscience? Empathy? For putting his fame and platform to good use...1/2

All hail Olivia Rodrigo! Fantastic concert at Glastonbury. She's always brilliant and what a great surprise bringing out Robert Smith to sing two Cure songs with him! #oliviarodrigo

One thing I know is I'll never book to go to a concert abroad anymore! I never usually do but this one time I do it ends up being cancelled! The trip is already paid for, I'm just glad it's in a city I love anyway so I will still go & enjoy the sights. But gigs abroad, no, just too risky. #concerts

Please repost if you want the full restoration of our EU Freedom of Movement, which was stolen from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and was the worst curtailment of our liberty in 200 years.
