Throwback to Bank Holiday Monday with the Fam 🥰 Pleased to report that the Crispy Beef Salad at the Con Club is just as delicious as ever 😋

Southern friends! I'm helping organise a small and informal conference at St John's Church (Friern Barnet) on the morning of Saturday 16th May ⛪ Biblical scholar Jonathan Tallon will be sharing his thoughts on whether LGBTQ+ inclusion can be compatible with Scripture (the answer may surprise you!) 🏳️‍🌈

Porto, you've been incredible ❤️

Living my best life 🍷

Bank Holiday double-bill 📽️ But what's the optimal order in which to watch these two films? 🤔

Back to work tomorrow after 2-weeks. I've had a productive Christmas break 😎 🖖🏻

Starting 2026 with the Fam ❤️

Perfect way to end 2025 and ring in the New Year 🎊

If anyone needs ideas for films to watch this Christmas, I highly recommend #WakeUpDeadMan on Netflix: a fascinating depiction of Catholicism, exploring the tensions between (and motivations behind) two very different priests that serves as a microcosm for religion in the USA...

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes 😊 It's been a wonderful weekend of delicious food, Christmas choirs, lantern parades, and memory making with friends and loved ones ❤️

Best. Birthday. Ever. 🤩🖖🏻

I make no apologies for Christmas spam 🤩 I love this time of year, and I've had my tree up for a week already 🎄

Sure, Netflix has Stranger Things, and Disney Plus has a load of Marvel and Star Wars content, but Paramount Plus just sent me this branded wooden spoon. Definitely the best streaming service 😎 🥄

Dear product designers: just because you can, doesn't mean you should 😳

A bit late posting these from Friday's Spooky Movie Club 🎃 Love any opportunity to dress up! But to be clear: I'm not dressed as Captain KIRK, I'm dressed as Captain PIKE. Big difference 😉 🖖🏻

It's been 4 years since I last ran the Altrincham 10k 🏃🏻 My fitness levels aren't what they were in 2021, but still pretty pleased with my time of 52:39🏅

Book your tickets for "Reclaiming Belonging" - a day conference where Biblical scholar Jonathan Tallon will be sharing his thoughts on whether LGBTQ+ inclusion can be compatible with Scripture (the answer may surprise you!) 🏳️‍🌈 Be part of the conversation: www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-johns-chu...

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Magsie and Russ 🥳 You're an inspiration ❤️

When I'm not working at the UK's leading degree apprenticeship provider, I teach a module in youth ministry at @lutherkingcentre.bsky.social. It was therefore a real pleasure to spend last week at @durham-university.bsky.social for their Common Awards Conference for Theological Educators.

Last night at The Star & Garter: celebrating the life of Kieran 🖤

Back in 2021, QA launched its Digital Marketing Degree Apprenticeship programme, and yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Graduation Ceremony for the first batch of students 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

Glastonbury, you've been incredible 🤩 Currently still recovering and reflecting on all the amazing highlights... (1/6)

Let's-a go! 🤩 #nintendoswitch2

I'm now a master distiller 😎 Gin-making plus a fantastic Sunday roast: the perfect way to end the weekend 🍸

The perfect way to spend a lazy Easter Weekend: Lego and Zelda 🗡️ 🛡️ ✨

Rev Nick Bundock's Leaving Party: a fitting sendoff for the new Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway 🥳

The last (fish) supper 😢 Gutted about the closure of another iconic Manchester restaurant today. I've fond memories of dragging my work colleagues from ITS to eat at the old Hip Hop Chip Shop in Spinningfields over 10 years ago. Grateful that I got to eat at their Ancoats site one last time 🐟

Perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon: chicken thigh quesadilla, black forest hot chocolate, and a large glass or two of Primitivo (all accompanied by a good book). Heaven 😊

Such a fun evening watching "The Shark Is Broken" - a hilarious (and moving) play about the troubled production of "Jaws" (co-written and starring Ian Shaw, whose father played Quint in the original film) 🦈

Thought-provoking afternoon learning from Gen-Z activists from Student Christian Movement & @christianaiduk.bsky.social. Great discussions on hope, trust, community, veganism, and what it means to be woke. A lot of ideas to share in the youthwork module I'm teaching at @lutherkingcentre.bsky.social

So excited for this on Wednesday 5th February: an afternoon of workshops hosted by Gen Z activists 🤩 I hear tickets are still available, so don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from young Christians about the issues impacting our world.

Truly the end of an era. I know in the grand scheme of things it was "just a burger joint" but Almost Famous served some of the most remarkable burgers I've ever eaten. My heart goes out to all those impacted by this closure 💔 secretmanchester.com/almost-famou...

A new Nintendo Switch console and a new series of Daredevil in 2025!? I feel like I'm re-living 2017 🤩 ...but hopefully with fewer divorces.

Monzo does its own version of Spotify Wrapped! And it seems to be trolling me for the amount of money I spent on going to the cinema in 2024 😳

Highlights from Christmas in the Highlands ✨

Finished work for Christmas. Current mood:

Thanks so much for all the birthday messages 🥰 Currently enjoying Christmas Dinner Cheese Fondue at California Coffee & Wine in #altrincham 🤩

My annual contribution to #ChristmasJumperDay (and a cheeky reference to #TheLegendOfZelda)

One last party to end a hectic five days! Such fun to catch up with the Abbotts 😊

Birthday celebrations with Mesha and Becky 🥳

QA Manchester Christmas Party 🥳

Wonderful evening of delicious food, great company, and sparkling repartee from waitress Milla (be sure to ask for her next time you're at Victors in #Hale!)

Kicking off 5 consecutive days of Christmas parties and get-togethers 🤩 🎄 🍷

It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎄 #christmastree

Sunrise over #Altrincham this morning

Hearing a lot of stories of despair this morning... but we were very lucky 🤩 See you in 2025 #Glastonbury
