There has understandably been a lot of love for the amazing Rob Burrow this week. This clip is from @bbcbreakfast and shows his widow, Lindsey, laying flowers with their children. Lindsey is something else. The last few months – and years – have been heartbreaking. The love, care, courage, compassion, drive and determination she has shown is nothing short of remarkable. What an incredible woman ❤️ Thinking of her and their 3 lovely kids.
Reading through some lovely tributes to Rob Burrow this morning. This remains the picture that says it all for me and gets me every time I see it. Rob became a shadow of his former self but those around him – like Sir Kevin Sinfield – helped to lift him up and showed us all what true friendship means ❤️
Some lovely news… we are about to start filming a new travel series for @channel5_tv Watch this space for more details. We’ll let you know when you can watch us wandering around together as soon as we can (champagne optional 😂🥂) @helenskelton
Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️ If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted. There aren’t many of those heroes left but they have so much to teach us. We’ll be playing music to commemorate the anniversary throughout the day on @classicfm #DDay80 #LestWeForget
Back home from a lovely family holiday in Athens 🇬🇷 I went there to cover a football match many years ago but never explored the city. We loved the welcome, the weather and the wonderful history… wherever you look (the food was top-drawer too). Other observations… All the marble makes the streets unusually slippy Never been to a city with so much graffiti Side-streets are a real treat with so much to do and Anafiotika is well-worth a wander around but… there are signs up to respect the people who live there They love their pistachios The Acropolis & Parthenon live up to the hype – but go early and use the smaller south-east entrance (by the museum) and get there about 730 with a pre-booked ticket to avoid the crowds. It opens at 8 and by 830 it’s rammed. The sunset from Lycabettus Hill is well worth the walk up there The changing of the guard in Syntagma Square is fascinating and the National Gardens next door are gorgeous – especially wandering round with lunch from the famous Kostas’ souvlaki – 30 minute lunch queue but it’s mega The sea around the Greek Islands (we went to Agistri and Aegina) is as good as it gets It’s expensive… particularly ice-cream Loved the historical significance of standing in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul on Mars Hill The metro is great but buy your trips in bulk to save a bit of cash It’s always hot ☀️ Thank you Athens for a great break ❤️ #holiday #holidays #city #citybreak
