5 years ago we lost our twin boys. They are never forgotten. A long journey since of grieving, sadness, kindness to each other, Zola dog 🐕 therapy and faith. Thanks to the miracle of #IVF Kit and Marina are now with us and thriving. #NeverGiveUp #keepsmiling #onwards 👍

On #ArmedForcesDay2025 pause and give thanks to all those who fought, and continue to protect you. Thinking particularly of the locals who have given their lives in WW1/2, or falklands or more recent, & those who are serving, based at #Albemarle Barracks. #freedomisnotfree
