After a life long love of John Le Carre, finding @danielsilvabook combination of espionage and art is a blessing for me 🙌 Allon, must read series.

Thanks for coming and taking time to visit our Pembrokeshire veterans and community charity.
It was a real pleasure to meet @barryjohnmbe and get a tour of the @TheVCGallery this past weekend. Barry and his team do such important work in tackling social isolation, building community cohesion, and encouraging self expression for veterans and those in the community.
Really want to support and use @transport_wales but every journey I take is a complete nightmare. Late meetings late for my charity members who rely on me @TheVCGallery because I can't rely on our transport industries. Every time!! drive to my next meeting in @WelshGovernment

Lots of fabulous and familiar faces at The Veterans’ Places, Pathways and People Programme (VPPP) event in Pembrokeshire yesterday.
👏Thank you for a very useful and informative meeting with some outstanding talks - with veteran #MentalHealth at the top of the agenda.

Delighted to collect a commissioned piece by my good friend @barryjohnmbe earlier today! 🎨🖌️
Blown away with the level of detail and how well he has turned the brief into reality!
I literally can’t stop looking at it! ❤️

Today's #FeelGoodFriday was one of the best! The amazing @barryjohnmbe invited me to @TheVCGallery to experience the Breakfast Club initiative, to meet some of his team & to discuss projects that we at @OgiWales can help with. What a great morning. #Community #Veterans #Diolch – at Milford Haven, Wales
