For those of you on Instagram, here's the most beautiful tribute to my boy, written and performed by his amazing friend, Fin ❤️❤️❤️ instagram.com/tv/CgXKrIUlPgQ…


Returned my late son’s passport to @HM_Passport for cancellation, requesting its return, and had such a sympathetically worded letter sending it back to me. Small kindnesses like this, even in pro forma documents, really help. Thank you to whoever drafts these letters.


Anybody? @ecarsontc

So... Being delighted with new shock cord & thoroughly cleaned skewer & chain on my @Concept2UK model B, I have now also tightened seat... It's a whole new machine! Anyone know what to repaint chassis with where it's peeled away & rusted? + Can I clean flywheel? @girlontheriver



Super proud! Everyone has worked so hard for this! Bravo!! 🏆 (To be clear, I wasn't racing myself - not quite in the right place now).

Well done Monmouth RC! 🏆 Find all the competition's racing photos on the @allmarkone website 👇 allmarkstore.co.uk/f1019063853 📸 @allmarkone #BRMC #VictorLudorum

Massive thanks to everyone who advised on commentating on a head race (especially @voiceofrowing ). All went very well. Not aware of any massive clangers, anyway! Now to warm up again... ❄️❄️❄️


Help! Am supposed to be commentating at our Head and wondering what on EARTH to talk about. Suspect it'll get a bit Royal-Wedding-y - "and here we have another crew approaching... on this momentous occasion... wearing the traditional lycra and uh, rowing... uh, down the river..."


This is so true. Still overwhelmed by a collection of photos that a friend put together, many of which I'd never seen.

If you are ever worried about upsetting parents by sharing photos or videos of their children who have died: ask. Don't be frightened to. For many, this will make their day - not only because you still talk about their child, but also because it is a "new" memory/photo/video 💙



Rowing friends! Behold item 1 for your Christmas list!!! It's genuinely delicious (have rigorously tested it purely because I'm considerate conscientious like that) and available from @Adventurersdks

PS anyone else imagining that the command to the bearers was, "To shoulders on three... two, three, LIFT"?


Raised my first ever glass (OK, thimble-full - it's STRONG) of gin and Dubonnet to Her Late Majesty. Thanks to @williamhanson and @jordannorth1 for introducing me to a superb drink. Am now officially a #GandDiva

Incredibly proud of my Monmouth shipmates. Not bad for a small, provincial club, most of whose members took up the sport in middle age. Dream big, my friends 💪🏻🏅
