First race since September due to an injury I picked up during my marathon. Great to be back road running, but it definitely felt like I hadn’t run in 2 months! 🏃♂️ #runsky #runnersofsky #runninglife #runner

One of my favourite roles of being Vice-Chair of the British-Estonian chamber of commerce is our charity work, and this year our members raised funds for two charities making a real difference in Estonia.
It was a genuine pleasure to hand over cheques to both charities. #charities #estonia #uk

A key Russian tactic is “razvedka boyem” – reconnaissance through battle – in which an enemy’s weaknesses are discoverd by constant probing. In September, Russian drones over Poland shut airports, inadvertantly revealing an easy way of wreaking chaos. Dozens of sightings have been reported since.

Une merveilleuse soirée à l’ambassade de France pour déguster des vins français exceptionnels. Comme beaucoup le savent, j’apprécie beaucoup la viticulture française, ce fut donc un moment fort.
Une dégustation très agréable et mémorable. 🍷🇫🇷 #winesky #winelover

Estonia- “the unsung Nordic nation.” Another article by the BBC on why you should visit Estonia 🇪🇪 www.bbc.com/travel/artic... #estonia #nordics
