Archie

April 29. 2 years at the helm with @brynstagram91 (0 decent OR pics together, can you believe that?). Ageing like milk. Too many people to thank for all their help. We love you! 🖤 📸: @felixrussellsaw

We are so fuckin back!! (Please don’t blow up the world the weathers just getting nice)

A beautiful day yesterday for our Godson Eddie Boy 💙

Every January I get an overwhelming/daunting feeling of worrying about the goals for the year and if we can achieve them. Personal life, business.. things in my control and things that aren’t. Aiming too high? Not aiming high enough? Will I look back in 12 months and feel like it was enough? Self doubt creeps in but count your blessings and remember comparison is the thief of joy. Whatever your goals are this year, I hope we all achieve them together. Fuck January too. We move.

First ride of the year 🏍️

A hell of a year. Good times and hard times but we did it together. On to the next and forever and ever, Amen x

Chill ride. Chill guys 🥶 @liamdvnn

I’ve been hesitant to share this as it’s the deepest part of our life, I know it can make people uncomfortable, but that’s why it feels important to talk. I’m sharing this with Archie’s support, because it’s not just mine, but ours. Please be kind. I’ve previously shared my experiences of women’s health in breast care & impacts of the BRCA gene and over the last 2 years I’ve learnt a new aspect of women’s health - fertility & baby loss. Many believe infertility means you can’t have a baby. It’s actually inability to conceive naturally after 6–12 months. It may not mean never, just support is needed, heartbreakingly, for some, it does mean never. I’m learning every day how deeply complex it is to navigate. Because of my BRCA gene & another preventative cancer surgery on the horizon, we were told we had a short window to try for a family. What we assumed would be simple became anything but. With our loved one’s support, we quietly started learning how to be in the world of IVF last year. I was naïve. I thought IVF was injections, then it works, because that’s what we see online or TV. The “exciting” side. Please never use that term to anyone in IVF, it’s not. It’s a job on top of your job, the mental & emotional toll, endless costs, cancelled rounds, tablets, needles, body changes, new languages to learn, counting ceiling tiles from medical beds just to get through. It’s being able to say you feel such deep joy in others reaching that dream, but pain you aren’t there. IVF is hope & deep grief, waiting & emotional whiplash. An element I’ve realised is even more uncomfortable to talk about is baby loss. Each loss carries the grief of hope given so fully. To anyone who’s heard “there is no heartbeat,” my heart is with you forever. Our baby’s lives mattered. IVF doesn’t guarantee a baby, but even in quiet moments there is hope, love & courage in continuing. I couldn’t do this without Archie. His steady support & love carries me through, holding my hand & making me laugh through it all. I share this because I have felt so alone at times in this journey, and if to anyone this feels familiar, you are not alone. You don’t have to carry it by yourself 🤍

Hell of a year for the bikes
