Dad. Husband. Reporter. I work for the BBC based out of Birmingham. Focused on Environment/Science & Rural Affairs. Swapped car for cargo bike. PhD/DSc. RTS reporter of the year.
Combination crew car and live tv vehicle able to get to any part of Brum in 15 minutes.
Finally got the husband in the cargo bike. He’s a total convert
Slightly random discovery from being on tv. I’m now a silver fox.
I’ve never known wild blackberries ripe and ready to eat in July! And it’s going to be a huge harvest.
We did the Colemore Food Festival. If you are ever in Brum I highly recommend it.
I’m sorry but this should still be a road and six parking spaces.
Cargo bike worked its magic again coming back from nursery and put us firmly in danger nap territory!
Heres my pov from tonight’s live on climate change and the human cost of this heat. Double heading with the fabulous Ms Shefali Oza.
Blow me down. Look what appeared in our inner city garden last night.
Oooh. Cycle storage at Moor Street Station. Can’t quite make it work with the cargo bike but lashed something secure up in the end. Then train to london and a rental bicycle the other end!
Happy Fathers Day. And respect to The Ivy in Brum for making sure both dads got a complimentary whisky
Husband had enough of the lemon balm taking over wormery so now I have a lovely bunch perfuming the living room. Happy childhood memories of smelling it in our neighbours garden for the first time.
How did #CrewePride go? It was excellent! Lovely vibes and Crewe is so nice!
A bit random but we’re off to #crewepride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ today! Wish us luck and see you there?
So I had to pop back to Twitter and it served me this Grok ad which seems like a stunning illustration of the awfulness of AI, Grok and X all in one. It’s nightmare fuel.
We had an extra pick up at nursery as another parent had an emergency. Nothing easier in the bike. Strapped in, helmet on and off we go. They loved riding with the girls!
Some say cars involved in accidents should pay for the damage they cause
Only Birmingham would build makeover a road with a new (much needed) bus lane and then put parking bays in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
