So I can’t do the 2011 v 2021 thing due to lack of photos, but I can do this. My now 17yo son & me rocking the same pose from when he was 2 & I was slimmer with more & darker hair! Full disclosure: the now photo was taken in 2020 & the original in 2007.

YES! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Not sure about the mannequin’s behaviour though… 😱😳😂

Stop One - HMS Trincomalee & National Museum of the Royal Navy at Hartlepool ⚓️😊

Teesside, we are in you.

Boys road trip is go!*. * actually this was 2 hours ago & we’re now at our 1st stop in Ferrybridge services but 🤷🏻‍♂️😊

Just watching c4 f1 highlights & during the ad break the Paypal ad 11 thought Will Ferrell was Andy from CBeebies! 🤣🤣

Run 71 of 2025 done ✅5km as it’ll be my last run for a while. Nice temp for running with a bit of breeze. More packing, gathering, collecting & re-packing now. OG Team GB 2012 Olympics top today too🇬🇧🙌🏼. Hope you all have a smashing Saturday 🏃🏻‍♂️😊

Run 70 of 2025 done ✅5km on my day off to keep things ticking along. Talking of ticking things off. I have a list as long as your arm to do today before I take 11&13 away on our boys road trip to Scotland via the North East & the Lakes (on our way back).Enjoy your Friday🏃🏻‍♂️😊

Wishing @JakeHendy a very happy birthday. Hope you have a brilliant day, filled with fun & frolics fella. All the best Grumps 🎂🎁🥳.

And that’s me done. Shut my laptop down, closed the lid & shall be opening a celebratory beer shortly. How are we all doing?.

Run 69 (yes really) of 2025 done ✅ I didn’t go yesterday because of phone battery-gate so have tried to make up for it by punishing my myself today with 7km. Legs felt good for most of it although tied up towards the end. Hope you all have a good day, especially you🏃🏻‍♂️😊

Wishing @lubeartiddy a very happy birthday. Hope you have a marvellous day filled with love & laughter. All the very best Grumps .🎂🎁🥳.

So today sees the return of the much maligned, oft misunderstood & absolutely unloved “murder corridor” occasional feature. Supplemented with bonus murder stairwell…

Oh. My. Days.

Wow.

Morning kids, early start as I’m down the road to an off site management meeting. Another overnight stay & back into HQ tomorrow. Not long now until my road trip with 11&13, so counting the days. Hope you all have a lovely day, all the best Grumps 😊
