A VERY belated honeymoon at @soneva 🌴
Truly one of the most special places we’ve ever been. Soneva is a total paradise; the only bad thing about it is knowing you have to eventually leave!
The warmth and kindness of the incredible team there is what makes it so extraordinary, and the food is completely out of this world.
Desert islands, manta rays, sunset laughter, and a week celebrating @belpowley Feeling very lucky, and very grateful 💕
Today would have been my dad’s 64th birthday.
On the 4th May this year, my dad tragically took his own life. I’ve struggled to find the words for this loss. There are questions I’ll never have answers to, and I’m slowly learning to live with that. What I do know is that my dad was a gentle, kind, generous man, and he is deeply missed.
In time, I want to find a way to turn this pain into something useful - to support and champion places that give men space to connect, talk, and feel understood. Too many men find themselves isolated, unable to express what they’re going through, or unsure of where to turn. Loneliness is a quiet epidemic. I’ve struggled with anxiety myself, and I know how frightening it can feel to be battling something internally while the world carries on around you.
It isn’t as simple as “checking in” on the people you love - sometimes they can’t hear you, even when you’re trying. And as people get older, lose the structure of work, or face changes in their identity or their bodies, the world can become even harder to navigate. My dad also struggled - with undiagnosed autism - and didn’t always have the tools to reinvent himself or ask for help.
Losing someone to suicide is a complex grief, and my heart is with anyone who has walked this path. I’m incredibly grateful for my family, my friends, and at times complete strangers who have helped me begin to get through this.
Happy Birthday Dad. I love and miss you. Always.
Remembering those we’ve lost. An honour to perform High Flight by John Gillespie Magee Jr. with The Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the King’s Colour Squadron. The poem beautifully captures the exhilaration of flight and, for me, a quiet sense of hope beyond fear.
Tragically, Magee Jr. died just a few months later in a mid-air collision, not long after writing the poem on the back of a letter home to his parents: “I started it at 30,000 feet, and finished it soon after I landed.”
For Dad x
