Farewell Cornelia . Thank you for all your leadership and support over the years that we worked together. All the best for the future.

A splendidly organised evening, and truly inspiring with it. The ODI Global | odi-global.bsky.social fellowship is probably the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ‘s longest running programme. One common theme on the night: fellows worked for, and were loyal to, their host governments.

Delighted to see this ‘family toilet’ brightening up a motorway service station in France. Good for all parties. Would be great to see in the UK, too.

This is not at all positive news for what we British call ‘pancakes’ (surely what we’d think of as ‘English crêpes’). No, the French have gone for #crumpets instead. (Since you ask: tasty enough, but not a patch on ⁦⁦Warburtons⁩ crumpets.)

I was delighted to spend two days last week celebrating the tenth anniversary of The IIJ - dedicated to addressing terrorism in compliance with the rule of law and human rights. I look forward to joining their Governing Board of Administrators for the UK in the coming days.

While I was in #Malta for the The IIJ event I was wowed by #Valletta and can’t wait to go back. Amazing people, history, architecture and food. Not quite as cold as the UK at this time of year. Plus: the sight of an M&S or two on the high street.

Still going through our stocks of essentials from #Cameroon . This and honey are, I think, the best of the best.

This is the wrong Nigel - you don’t want me giving any advice to businesses on tax relief! But I’m nevertheless delighted to discover another Nigel Holmes out there and am sure he is, accordingly, brilliant.

I nursed this #honey from #Cameroon for 13 months (since I left #Yaoundé) but finished it this week. The finest honey I’ve eaten, by miles. I tried to connect this firm to British honey people but no luck. If you know anyone importing it to UK, tell me mielroyal.net

Very excited to see #Cameroon’s Carlos Baleba, of Brighton, in the ⁦Troy Deeney team of the week. Sounds like an immense performance. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
