Ruskin de la mer

I love hearing my dad, Victor Ruskin, talk about his time in the Merchant Navy. This is the ship that he trained on. My grandfather, also Victor Ruskin, served in WWII, and he was at Dunkirk. My shop is named for them. #MerchantNavyDay ❤️

@BeingBoycie George & Mildred?

Any guesses as to who this couple is meant to be?

@BeingBoycie 🥂 To John xx

Remembering the wonderful John Challis, on his heavenly birthday. Thinking of you Carol and sending our love. 💔

@BeingBoycie 🤣

@BeingBoycie I love that photo, we had so much fun that night. We also found out that John wasn’t the only comedian in the marriage! 😂❤️

Mmmm,sweet nothin’s! ⁦@RuskinRap⁩

@BeingBoycie It must be. I do hope it feels like home very soon. Lots of love and hugs from us both. Xx

@RuskinRap I’m sort of settling in. It’s all very strange! Sending you both lots of love.

@BeingBoycie Good evening, hope you’re doing ok, and settling in. We’re waiting impatiently for the sunshine as per usual. Colin popped in to say hi yesterday, and introduced me to Daniel Peacock. ❤️

Every time I look at this I get angry. Six months after John died somebody came into the garden at night & made a hell of mess dragging this cast iron bench,leaving a scaffolding pole & a pair of bolt cutters on the path.I guess whoever it was knew that I’d be on my own.

Had an amazing day talking to year 5 & 6 kids about disability for @phab_charity . So many questions that I hope let them understand that 1 it's okay to be different 2 that things can done different ways & 3 they can all play a part in that change. A very good day.

@MikScarlet @ShawTrust @phab_charity Congratulations Mik, well deserved! 💜

Get me. I'm having an amazing couple of weeks & today another wonderful thing happened, I've been shortlisted for the @ShawTrust #DisabilityPower100 because of my work with @phab_charity . Chuffed.

@BeingBoycie That’s fantastic news Carol. How wonderful for you all! I hope you’re settling in ok. I’m sure it feels a whole lot better now. 🥂

Good luck to my brother Johnny and Teresa who have moved into their new home today,just down the road from me.We have been celebrating with fish and chips and Lidl pink cava out of plastic champagne flutes. Luxury.

Huge congratulations to the amazing Chris on a lifetime of lifesaving! He's been keeping Bournemouth beachgoers safe for almost 60 years... and now he's a record-breaker 👏

@BeingBoycie Congratulations! Wishing you every happiness in your new home. 💕

Good news! I have exchanged on my cottage,at last.Laura is giving me shelter until the end of the month,then it’s all systems go.

@BeingBoycie Hope today goes well. We wish you every happiness in your new home. Let us know when you are sitting comfortably, with a glass of wine, ready for this new chapter in your story. 💕

The time has come.Farewell old house,our home for the past 26 years.I’m leaving today for a different life down in Somerset and it’s all a bit overwhelming.

@MikScarlet @phab_charity @NFBUK Suits you sir! I’d vote for you. ❤️

Posed pictures outside No 10. What do you think? Mik Scarlet for PM?

See how happy he looks to be back ⁦@DreamlandMarg⁩
