Just rewatched Band Of Brothers and it’s still emotional and poignant all these years on. So many lessons about leadership and humanity, and futility of war. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”

Amazing feat of engineering and especially relevant for linking island communities @electricjersey @GovJersey @DeputySteveLuce. “Viking Link…opens up immediate opportunities for shared use of green energy across geographical borders and provides a blueprint for future projects.”
At 475 miles, the £1.7 billion Viking Link is the longest land and subsea interconnector in the world. The @nationalgrid team behind it have today been announced as the 2024 winners of our Major Project Award for Sustainability. Find out why: raeng.org.uk/news/national-g… #RAEngAwards

Father’s Day walk along Waterworks Valley. Not been on this stunning footpath through the centre before. Taken in a waterfall, aqueduct and Hamptonne farm! Happy #FathersDay to my Dad Bill Webb, and remembering those who are dads in all but name too and not always said. ❤️

Highlight of my week - meeting Springfield School Year6 to help with their entries in the “SpeakUp SpeakOut Jersey” competition. So much talent and confidence! Stand out was meeting the only “Swiftie” in the school and afterwards being told it was awesome youtube.com/watch?v=wHvljQVR…

Sometimes you have to look at the world in a different way, and it all becomes clearer

Aah Jersey really is a green and pleasant land in the middle of La Manche. Lovely walk along the north coast today to Bonne Nuit. Stunning views, wildlife and sea air. What’s not to like? #BeautifulJersey #NorthCoast #Footpath @VisitJerseyCI @sascampaigns @RNLIJersey

Yes Prime Minister should be the Government Playbook
Great thread, the moral of which is that you should always have at least one person in your ‘think tank’ who’s old enough to have seen Yes Minister.

Amazing walk along the Railway Walk to Corbiere and back. Of course I had to go in the open bunker at Corbiere. Big shout out to extremely knowledgeable young lads in bunker 3 who let me have a go at shooting La Rocco Tower. @CIOS_JSY #RailwayWalk #LoveJersey ❤️ @VisitJerseyCI

An unexpected day off and there’s no place better than Jersey to be able to take advantage of it! Lovely walk along St Ouens Bay in the Friday sunshine. I do love living in Jersey 🇯🇪 ❤️ @VisitJerseyCI @RNLIJersey #JerseyCI #StOuens #GorgeousBeaches

This is an incredible leap forward in using quantum physics in a real world application. And reducing the reliance on GPS technology which is now being targeted by hackers. Well done to the team involved. #QuantumNavigation #Quantum @QinetiQ @BAESystemsplc @spacegovuk
Satellite navigation systems aboard aircrafts have seen an increase in hacking in recent months ✈️ Highly resilient quantum navigation tech could be key to ensuring flights are able to take off without disruption. See the first UK trials take place on an in flight aircraft 👇

Watching Dark Knight films by Christopher Nolan. Heath Ledgers last outstanding performance. And some great quotes "Who knows Mr Wayne You Start Pretending To Have Fun, You Might Even Have A Little By Accident." #TheBatman #DarkKnightTrilogy #HeathLedger #ChristianBale

Walking the Jersey lanes. I am never tired of the peaceful beauty of these quiet lanes away from the bustle of town. #Jersey #ChannelIslands #Karma #Peace @VisitJerseyCI

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
