Paying my respects at Thaba-Bosiu one final time and to the Principal Chief of Thaba-Bosiu, Khoabane Theko.

Enjoyed meeting Trefoil Guild UK visitors from the UK. A fun day. I think we will hear a lot more about the Girl Guides here in Lesotho later in 2025.

We recently were able to help bring a collection of books from Sheffield Hallam University to the National University of Lesotho. Just one of the many ways Sheffield Hallam University and NUL are working together. I wasn't able to hold all of the many books at once for the pictures though.

A genuine privilege to have spent time with His Majesty King Letsie III during my time in Lesotho. A truly great leader. I said farewell to His Majesty and presented him with the recipe to the King Letsie III quiche created for his visit last year to the Eating House in Calver.

Non-stop action in Bristol 🔥 England are through to the #RWC2025 final 🌹 #FRAvENG

Roast and a pint for Sunday lunch at the pub. Can't beat it.

The beautiful English countryside

The Red Roses are unstoppable. A superb tournament. Well done to all involved especially an excellent Canada side in the final.

Pie and a pint with my good friend Ken Dunn of Africa's Gift before watching the Rotherham Titans game.

Great game of rugby. Rotherham Titans edging out Rosslyn Park 27-26.

Sunday league football at the local park. A great British tradition.

Popped over to Bolsover Castle for a visit to an historic location during English Heritage's members week.

Congrats to those in Timor-Leste who I know have been working for many years to achieve their goal of joining ASEAN.

Always a welcome moment for someone who travels around. The arrival of personal items that have had to be shipped round the world.

Grabbing a curry to celebrate some of my friends recent successes.

Lovely ceremony for Remembrance in my local village. Great to see so many people honouring those who gave their lives for our futures.
