Baba (13) has recovered from surgery to remove a tumour in his neck. He was sedated rather than going completely under, due to his age. He's doing brilliantly. Two years ago a vet wanted to euthanise him purely because of his age.

Rest easy Accidental Agent. Thank you for the love. Thank you to @johnsonhoughton and team for letting me spend time with him 💚

First day out and about. Feeding the cats of Benitses 💙🇬🇷

Well done @FOBRacing on the opening day @CheltenhamRaces

I'm always good for a real post. So is Dom with the camera it seems.... Pretty much how I've spent today. Checked the odd email in between. Guess it's better to have the lurgy in Corfu than England? Being looked after by Dom and cats. Cristian arriving tomorrow for a few days.

How to recover from illness in Corfu... Get a couple of tortoiseshell ear warmers.

In 1980, at age 3, I spent 3 weeks at Bristol Children's Hospital. I had my kidneys reimplanted due to bilateral reflux. They also reimplanted my urethra. All connecting tubes are man made, and I have stents to direct everything properly for life #invisabledisabilities

There is still so much more to do in racing and the world in general. Just because anyone looks "normal" on the outside, there can be so much going on on the inside, mentally and/or physically. Throughout this week I'll be sharing my stories #itsgoodtotalk

Does this story sound familiar.....? Apostolos (who we stay with in Corfu) went to the vet. There was a kitten there who had been abandoned. He took the kitten home 🤣 Look forward to meeting her on Wednesday 🥰

The struggle is one I never could have imagined 😪

Good luck to all going to #ChampionsDay @Ascot today. I was hoping to go, but had a bit of a tough week. Faves running today are Caballo De Mar, Believed, Ten Bob Tony, Zavateri and Bay City Roller. Many congratulations to @loughnane_billy. I hope all have a great day and are safe home 💚

Beautiful start to the day 💚

Annual conker collecting on the village green 🍂

Anxiety is a bit like addiction. You're never truly better. You manage it, but some days life overwhelms you, and all those anxious feelings come back. I deal with so much more than I used to, and I just have to remind myself of that on the bad days 💚

Weirdest Airbnb I've ever stayed in.... Had to pick up keys from a corner shop. TV has been removed. In a flat described as ultra modern, there's NO WIFI and one saucepan. Security chain is broken, had to go out to buy cleaning supplies. Thankfully I have Internet dongle, and there's a Sainsburys Local nearby!

Popped into Bristol for a coffee and change of scenery. Life is pretty hectic right now. I have a few blogs to write which I hope to do when I'm in Corfu animal sitting at the end of the month 🙏 Also in the process of organising the winter stable visit schedule 💚 #MentalHealth – at Bristol, England
