We all know that local pharmacies are key to getting primary care right! It was great to recently visit Bassil Pharmacy in their new and improved home… offering a variety of health services and prescriptions, without having to wait weeks for a doctors appointment. #Southampton

Miss Ellie's Cafe never fails to succeed in giving the people and visitors of Southampton a great pick me up. Great to be there for my morning coffee today. Stuart the owner is remarkable, please go if you haven't already! ☕️ #Southampton

A busy Saturday was pleasantly punctuated by an unveiling at Freemantle Baptist Church of a wonderful new mosaic mural - a joint effort between congregation members and local artist, Will Rosie. Thanks to minister, Linda Hayes, for organising a lovely ceremony.

To all celebrating this weekend

Thank you Southampton Royal British Legion for letting me join your volunteers and cadets selling poppies in WestQuay at the weekend. It was a privilege to meet with armed forces family members, veterans and reservists to find out how I can give them my full support 🪖🏡.

2 Services today, the Cenotaph and then FoSOC. Both events were excellent, perfectly timed and respectful. To all those who serve in what ever capacity THANK YOU!

We will remember them (3). What a lovely remembrance event on Sunday afternoon hosted by the Friends of Old Southampton Cemetery celebrating their 21st anniversary. I was very touched by kind words said here about my mother Veronica Tippetts (V) who helped establish this group.

Reported Flytipping across the patch today. Why people think it’s ok to put it out on the pavement and leave it for others to clear up. #bevois
