Loving the fresh autumn sunshine. Headed to #Dublin today but time for a quick blast on this beauty. Thanks @UKTriumph for letting me try out the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro - what a bike!
Today is the Autumnal Equinox when the Sun is exactly above the Equator & day & night are of equal length.
I love this time of year, it’s a great time to be outside making the most of the daylight & stable weather before winter comes.

Disappointed not to be able to make #IAC2022 this week along with fellow ‘Shenanigans’, (@esa class of 2009). Congratulations to all those candidates who have made it this far in the astronaut selection process - not long now until we welcome a new class!
Flashback to having most of our astronaut class “together” again, some of whom could be on #Artemis missions to the Moon within this decade!
The new astronaut class will be announced at #CM22 on 23 November. Thank you for your patience as we select the best candidates possible
A day full of emotion and a very fitting tribute to Her Majesty the Queen, who dedicated her life to serving others and did so with such dignity and grace.

So proud of @scouts & all volunteers who’ve been working so hard to make #TheQueue such a unifying & memorable experience for thousands of people.Thank you for your service in honour of Her Majesty & for using the opportunity to help others @felixprojectuk #kindnessforthequeen
Scouts aged 18 - 25 years old from across the UK volunteered to support everyone in the queue paying their respects to HM Queen in London this week. They've done a wonderful job! 👏
