I am so sad to see this happen. We keep changing managers every two years and then wonder why we donโ€™t win. Finally, we have a manager who has won us a European trophy and was on the cusp of taking this team forward, and we sack him. It is Levy who needs to be given the boot. ๐Ÿ˜” #COYS #Ange

Today, we remember those of principle and courage who gave their lives on D-Day to preserve our freedom. And with that freedom we have willingly allowed our politics to descend into levels of schoolchild playground fights, the promotion of ignorance over talent, and fascist ideology to rise again. ๐Ÿ˜”

Thereโ€™s only one thing to watch tonight. โ™ ๏ธ #DDay #BandOfBrothers #DayOfDays #Currahee

Ebb and flow. The rhythm of the waves is a reminder that life and nature move on without us. Our worries and anger are real, but if we become consumed by them, we will miss our appointment with life. Make time to pause and return to the here and now. It is all we truly have. ๐Ÿ˜Š #life #calm #peace

The majesty of the Cornish coast. โค๏ธ #Cornwall #Perranporth #coast #ocean #sea #sky #beach #walk #explore #calm #peace #life #photography

What. A. Game! Listening on the radio (baseball is best on the radio) The game goes to extra innings. Royals go ahead 5-4 at the top of the 10th, and my Redbirds score 2 at the bottom of the 10th to win 6-5. Contreras gets the walk-off run in his 1000th game. Perfect โšพ๏ธโค๏ธโšพ๏ธ #baseball #ForTheLou #mlb

Some Cornish calm to end your day with ease. Rest well, my friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #Perranporth #sunset #beach #coast #ocean #sea #sky #nature #calm #peace #walk #life #photography

The walk home. ๐Ÿ“ธ #Hampshire #country #trees #countryside #life #walk #home #calm #peace #photography

A walk beside the barley fields at sundown last night. Please remember, you cannot pour from an empty pot, allow yourself time to recharge. It is not selfish, it is vital. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Hampshire #nature #calm #peace #life #walk #summer #photography

This little footbridge over the canal in Pyrford, Surrey, reminds me of a Constable painting. Such calm and serenity, endorsed by the reflections on the water. A beautiful walk. ๐Ÿ˜Š #calm #peace #nature #walk #explore #trees #life #photography

Florentine sunset ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น The softness of the sky and pastel colours of the buildings, mixed with the warm air and beautiful architecture, make for a stunning sundown. #Italy #Florence #sunset #walk #life #architecture #streetphotography #calm #history #sky #photography

To the sea. If we move one grain of sand, we change the entire beach. Small actions matter. Be kind. May your day be peaceful, my friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #Porthkidney #ocean #sea #beach #coast #walk #calm #peace #life #explore #photography

As we head into a new week, please remember that your best is good enough. I say it often, but it is true. Also, make time for your own welfare, it is not selfish, but vital for your daily resilience. Above all, embrace your uniqueness: each of us is a miracle and your life is worth living. ๐Ÿ˜Š #life

Down at the creek where I grew up. I spent a lot of hours here, but the wooden swing was just an old blue rope with a slip knot to stand on back then. Lazy, lapping water gently kissing the shingle, and the warm summer breeze, was a heady mix. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #nature #calm #peace #life #photography

The bliss of nature. White wisteria in Salisbury, backlit by the setting sun. The scent was out of this world. I hope your day was peaceful, my friends. Rest well. ๐Ÿ˜Š #nature #flowers #peace #calm #wisteria #sunset #walk #photography #life

A favourite coast walk of mine back home in Cornwall is from Poly Joke to Crantock. In the spring, the fields are filled with the reds of poppies and yellows of rapeseed. As we head into June, the greens and pinks of the headland sit calmly with the gentle, turquoise sea. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #nature #calm

Learning to pause, focus on our breathing, and be in the moment is vital for our wellbeing. Whether in the countryside or a city centre, there is joy in turning our attention to the here and now and looking deeply. Our connection to all things becomes more vibrant. May your day be peaceful. ๐Ÿ˜Š #life

Atop the Bay with a lazy lapping tide and the warm, spring air. Whether in the woodlands or by the ocean, nature has its own rhythm. We can either choose to tune in and be mindful of it, or be so preoccupied that we miss our appointment with life. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #CarbisBay #nature #ocean #beach #life

One more from todayโ€™s 2.5 mile lunchtime woodland dog walk. A gentle, warm late spring breeze, birdsong, and, of course, a happy Monty. ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐ŸŒณ #woodland #trees #spring #walk #dog #cockapoo #calm #peace #life #photography

Busy morning with work but blessed with a lunchtime woodland dog walk. There are seven woodlands where I live, each with its own feel and each equally beautiful. The woodlands are my tonic. I hope your day is peaceful, my friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š #woodland #trees #nature #walk #calm #peace #life #photography

As we start a new day, please know that your best is good enough. Donโ€™t compare yourself to others, nor hold yourself to your own expectations - these are often based on how we feel others will judge us. Only you can walk in your shoes, but feel free to walk with Monty and me. Have a great day. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The joy of life is we never know where our journey will take us. And it will take us further if we are curious about all things. We must constantly challenge our own views before challenging others about theirs. Walk with an open mind and be willing to be wrong. Never, never stop learning. ๐Ÿ˜Š #life

The ebb and flow of the tide is a reminder how life and nature move forward without us. A lesson that we are both significant and insignificant in equal measure. Despite our understandable worries and fears, it is vital to return to the present moment, for that is all we truly have. ๐Ÿ˜Š #nature #life

Small acts of kindness ripple infinitely outwards, and the first act must be towards ourself. This is not selfish, it is essential. When we are calm within, we can be fully there for all things. May your day be peaceful, my friends. Namaste ๐Ÿ™ #nature #river #trees #calm #peace #kindness #life

End your day with some Cornish medicine. Rest well, my friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š #Cornwall #sunset #sky #nature #calm #peace #life #beach #ocean #sea #waves #photography

The majesty of trees. More and more I find myself drawn to them. They offer a stoic solitude, like an old friend who listens mindfully without commenting, a connection that transcends all daily issues. May you find your calm, my friends. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒณ #trees #nature #calm #life #peace #leaves #photography
