Is one sweating now?!

Malta has been such a joy — beautiful island, wonderful people. The Maltese and so many others from around the world live and work together here with such warmth and ease. A lovely reminder of how good it feels when everyone just gets along 🇲🇹 💛 Only 350 photographs to sort through 📷

Good morning from sunny Malta 🇲🇹☀️ It’s set to reach 27° today 🥵 I’ve got hundreds of photos to sort through before sharing a gallery soon 📸

Another wonderful day in Malta 🇲🇹 Sunset view from the Skyroom bar!

It’s a lovely view from our balcony at night too! I’m going to try and catch the sunrise and sunset whilst we are here! 🇲🇹

Well, we are not disappointed with the view from our balcony! ❤️🇲🇹

That’s the alarm set, in preparation for the taxi arriving at 04:20 to whisk us off to the airport! 🇲🇹

Sunday supper! Sliced chicken breast and halloumi coated in za’tar and honey with fresh figs. This was on a bed of baby salad leaves, rocket and red onion pickled in lemon juice and chill flakes with fresh mint and finished with a sprinkling of crushed pistachios!

One small act of kindness can turn someone’s whole day around. Imagine the impact if we all tried ✨ #BeKind #Kindness #KindnessMatters

One for those who also love the autumn season. 🍁 Rakuyou 落葉 Japanese; the many fallen coloured leaves of Autumn. (Pronunciation: Ra-ku-yo!)

For those of us whose working week ends tomorrow 🥳 For those who work weekends, I hope that you get to smile too and for all, that kindness radiates throughout your day!

Well, I think today’s plans are out the window and blowing in the wind! ☔️ 💨

Hello October 🍁 A month of colour, crisp mornings and cosy evenings. Let’s welcome the change and look for the beauty in every day.

We often talk about triggers — the things that set off stress. But did you know the opposite exists too? They’re called glimmers. Small moments of joy, safety or connection that remind us we’re okay. A bird singing, sunlight on your face, a kind smile. #Glimmers #Wellbeing #PositiveMentalHealth

As the Prime Minister arrives in Merseyside today, the region’s diverse communities have a strong message for him - you must stand up for as against the rising tide of far right racism in the country www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Autumn Equinox 🍂

“Always remember you matter, you're important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can.” Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Autumn ebbs ever closer 🍂 The air softens, the light lingers differently and the world gathers itself in quiet preparation. A season of beauty, reflection and gentle change. #AutumnVibes #SeasonsChanging

It’s finally Friday 🍁 After a tough week of hard work and challenges, here’s to slowing down, breathing and finding a little light in the day. May today be a gentle end to the week 🍂

#HelloSeptember 🍁 🍂

Happy birthday #Liverpool, 818 years old today. You really are a community in a city!

After Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent MMR paper: Measles cases: up 1200% Mumps cases: up 70,000% Multiple fatalities People with no science knowledge were taken in by Wakefield. People with no science knowledge are taken in by anti-vaxxers. Listen to scientists www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Yep…

This morning I shall be…

I’m going to say it…today feels and smells, autumnal! 🍁 🍂

Although for some, there is no hope!

They think you are stupid. They think you will believe that a party came into government and decided for no reason to release loads of prisoners. They won’t tell you what the previous party did to engineer this crisis. Treating their readers with contempt.

Welcome August!

In light of worrying rising child poverty figures, this is me making the case for Labour to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty overnight

Yours truly calling out a Reform Council’s decision to cancel a climate change emergency for what it is

I’m not going outside to smell it yet though, it’s an absolute downpour with thunder and lightning! It’s much needed! ☔️ ⛈️ ⚡️

Please share 🙏 Harley Thomas has a pre-existing brain injury and is vulnerable! #Missing #MissingChild #MissingPerson #Liverpool #Halewood

This is devastating for the family & it’s shocking that 1 in 4 children in Liverpool are unprotected. The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & essential to stop the spread of Measles, Mumps & Rubella. No child should be left vulnerable. @dph-mashton.bsky.social
