Happy Father's Day to our favourite dad. The one who tells the best bedtime stories, takes us flying, cooks the most delicious meals and throws the ball the furthest! πŸ’™πŸ’™

Travelling on the other side of the door today. Whilst Mark Smith is blasting off to Toronto Pearson, we are off to Jersey for a change of scenery, beach and maybe even Jersey Zoo. I wonder who we'll bump into?! 🦁✈️

What a great weekend celebrating Mark Smith's Birthday. Family, friends and the roar of a Merlin on the south coast. This will be a tough one to beat! πŸ₯³

As a shift worker I really enjoy my week days off. Today I gave Milo a leg stretch around the South Downs. 19k steps, wind measured in Spaniel ear flaps & a delicious lunch at The Shoe Inn. We also found a memorial for a Sterling who crashed on Ex Dreme during D-Day prep.

Had a great time showing my dad the sights of Cape Town. Constantia Glen Vineyard, Table Mountian, Boulder beach and of course the Harley-Davidson dealership! I even treated him to a little Accra diversion on the way down... 2 landings for the price of 1! πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ₯©πŸ·

After handing over a fully serviceable jet and chocolate treat to Mark Smith (you're welcome), tried a new activity in PHX. Afternoon trail ride with #ArizonaHorses. Horses were beautiful, well behaved and the Wranglers were so cool. πŸ΄πŸ‘’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

With the biggest baubles I've ever seen, that's a 2024 stateside wrap! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Pleased that we missed the worst of #StormDarragh as we landed into Heathrow Airport this morning. Well done to all the crew, ground staff and NATS battling the winds over the weekend β˜”οΈ
