A beautiful day at Trebarwith Strand!

Really pleased to see the stones painted at the Covid Day of Reflection event held at Firstsite last week in pride of place at the Covid Memorial, Colchester Crematorium.

Really nice Covid memorial event at Firstsite in Colchester today. A chance to talk and reflect, add a leaf to the memory tree and paint a rock!

It was a pleasure to visit the Dragonfly Lounge this evening to have a sneak peak before they open on Tuesday. Looks like it will be a fabulous addition to Colchester! Thanks to Kemal Çufoğlu for arranging!

Great news for Middlewick! www.colchester.gov.uk/info/cbc-art...

My thoughts and heartfelt condolences to those affected by this tragic incident, and my thanks to the emergency services who responded swiftly at the scene. Absolutely dreadful thing to happen. 😔

Had to rescue a magpie this evening! A lively fellow, just had trouble flying and was on course to be a first course for my cats!!

Popped in to say Hi to everyone at the new #SøstreneGrenes shop in #Colchester's Culver Square. Looks fantastic, and I wish them every success! It's great to see new brands coming to the city!

Bet they drink all my wine too...

Happy Christmas!! From all of us to all of you 😘

Just made onion bhajis for the first time! Had to use plain flour instead of gram, but easy to make and very tasty!

Very interesting visit to the British Museum this evening for the National Partnerships reception. An opportunity to hear about the great collaborations between regional & local museums that is currently happening (Colchester Vase currently on tour for the Gladiators of Britain)

It was great to be out and about chatting with residents and dropping off neighbourhood surveys in St Anne’s and St John's, Colchester, today. Also spotted this beauty of poor road marking after roadworks. Why couldn't they re-line the whole thing?? 🤦‍♀️ A busy day Lib Demming!

Coming in to land at Stansted this evening. I hate taking off, but I love landing!

We’ve been having fun over here but been relatively quiet for months. Then we log back in today and it’s just like…

Earlier this month, we had a fantastic time at our Clay Pot Workshop, where creativity flourished, and participants of all ages crafted their very own unique clay pots! From intricate designs to playful patterns, the imaginations of our visitors truly shone through.

Just dipping my toes in the water...
