Riding across the alps with @carlafrancome.bsky.social and the wonderful team from Le Cure was incredible They started raising money for the Royal Marsden, who’d treated a friend for breast cancer. They raised so much, they now sponsor a research fellowship and have their own CA project. Amazing

Today I cycled up a mountain, circled a reservoir on balcony roads, before coming home to cut down two trees with my kids and a handsaw I appreciate this may not be everyone’s idea of a relaxing holiday 😜

Brussels has long carried a reputation as one of Europe’s most congested metropolises: a city of traffic jams, polluted air, and streets dominated by cars. Yet in recent years, the Belgian capital has become an unlikely case study in how bold political leadership can reclaim urban space for people.🧵
