Incredibly proud of my brother-in-law who for this weekend is ‘Fridge freezer man’. Raising lots of money for Hope House & Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices while honouring his late wife’s bet of completing 112km with 15,138ft elevation gain in 36hours…with a 90lb fridge freezer. Go well Matt…

What a weekend…super human effort of Fridge freezer man.. 112km with elevation gain of 15,138ft carrying 90lb in 34 hrs. Having spent 30hr of those with him I honesty can’t describe the admiration and respect. Incredible. £41k for Hope House & Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices too 💖 victoria-jones.muchloved.com



So good to see my brother-in-law on the BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 5 Live studio talking about the ‘One Bet’ challenge, how amazing Vicky was and their lovely children. Mountains were easier than using our lifts 😂 (Head to insta page ‘fridge_freezer_man’ to donate if you can 😉)

Feel good Friday… Fridge freezer man / Matt has had some incredible donations for Hope House & Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices and is now over £70,000. He and the family are so grateful for the generosity, support and love shown 🥰🙌 victoria-jones.muchloved.com/Fundraising/Do…

It could be a very disturbed night for some, especially across E Eng with flash flooding rainfall, lightning and hail⚡️💦 🔸 Big storms currently in N France moving across the Channel and Amber warning in force. I’ll have the latest on BBC Breakfast



Did the storms / torrential rain wake you up? ⚡️💦 There were around 30,000 lightning strikes as intense storms moved north. Manston in Kent had all of June's average rainfall just last night and there was quite a bit of flash flooding. Latest #ukweather on BBC Breakfast




Extreme heatwaves and wildfires on holiday? When does it become 'too hot' to enjoy? 🌡️🔥 There's some evidence to suggest we might be changing our holiday plans due to climate change. Read more as I explore for BBC News (UK) ⤵️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
