#beatsurrender spans the #atlantic! Visited my best friend - @AdrianB1970 and he had some t-shirts for us to wear to celebrate along with a visit to the @rockhall in #ClevelandOhio Looking forward to what superb tracks @stevepowerdj on @NationRadioUK has for us all this week... – at Cleveland, OH

To say these cranes are huge is an understatement! Tallest & biggest in Europe, full of state of the art tech, & worlds away from the first container cranes that started in the port in 1970. They dominate the Southampton skyline, in fact can be seen a lot further away than that – at Southampton, England

Interesting #cruise development, @pandocruises #arcadia leaving the fleet in 2029 to join @HALcruises whilst @cunardline latest ship #queenanne to transfer across to P&O Cruises. Quick render of what the ship might look like... #carnivaluk #southampton

Nice morning spent at Mudeford & Steamer Point, wind increasing throughout, but so so warm! #dorset #beachlife – at Christchurch, England

I saw a Beluga for the first time in August, even though I've been to Hamburg a number of times! Saw it over Cheshire - all I could think of was Bailey from Finding Dory!

Seeing these clouds from afar is stunning, and that's where they should stay - afar... – at Hythe, England

I tend to park at Steamer Point, walk to the lifeboat station then back again, never tire of the view...

It was the same onboard @cunardline #QM2 the other month, this sunset was not a patch on what we were seeing, a wonderful shaft of light... – at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog, Deutschland

Couldn't agree more! Even more surreal, last year, experiencing the wonder and engineering marvel of the @Airbus #A350 at 39000ft whilst reading about another aeronautical icon - #concorde! – at Hythe, England

The day after the evening before... Wonderful to witness the partial #solareclipse, and to see who many others peacefully enjoying this special moment. #newforest #lovewhereyoulive – at Hythe, England
