@CrazyVibes_1 @BumbleCricket It is breathtakingly beautiful. He’s so incredibly talented. This rare and exceptional gift must be nurtured.

My 11 year old son painted this. He's autistic and doesn't have friends at school, doesn't get invited to birthday parties, spends most of his time alone in his room. Teachers keep telling me he's "in his own world" like that's a bad thing. I've watched him sit by himself at lunch through the school window and it breaks me every single time. He started painting six months ago after discovering Bob Ross videos on YouTube. I bought him a cheap canvas set from the dollar store just to see if he'd stick with it. He painted for nine hours straight that first day, wouldn't eat dinner, wouldn't stop. I had to physically take the brush from his hand at midnight. This is his newest piece. Those mountains, that reflection in the water, the pink and purple sky. He's eleven. I kept staring at it thinking this can't be real, my little boy who can't tie his shoes without getting frustrated made something this beautiful. I posted it in a painting group because he asked me to, said he wanted to know if "real artists" would think it's good. Within an hour someone commented asking to buy it. I laughed out loud, thought it was a joke or maybe spam. Then another person messaged. Then three more. One woman offered $200 and said it reminded her of where her late husband proposed. My son doesn't know how to process compliments, he just went quiet and started rocking a little which means he's overwhelmed but in a good way. He asked me if people were being nice because he's "the autism kid" or if they actually meant it. I didn't know what to say. So I'm asking you all, honestly. Tell me the truth. Is this actually good? Because he's sitting next to me right now waiting to hear what real people think, and I need to know if I should help him open his own little shop or if I'm just a mom who can't see clearly. What do you really think? 🎨💜 Credit - Martha Barker

@NicolaBrentnall Hey Nicola, hope you are well. I’m curious to know where you are - it looks amazingly tempting!!!!!!

An interstellar day here today. To infinity (pool) and beyond! x

As the #un2023waterconference concludes, so proud to share @CocaColaCo’s three goals to help build a water secure future by 2030:

@R_Hawkes Welcome back home @R_Hawkes

On UK soil for the 1st time since 9 weeks ago today!

@R_Hawkes Wish you safe travels and good health.

Personal update. The hospital in Mumbai has given me the all clear to fly home! Meetings & conference in Mumbai this week. Then heading home...NINE weeks after arriving in India for a 5 day trip!! Can't wait to get back to the UK and have a decent curry 🤣🤣

@SonuShivdasani Many many congratulations @SonuShivdasani . Very well deserved!

Receiving an OBE is an incredible honour and I share it with all of Soneva’s friends and family. This recognition reinforces our founding vision, which is placing purpose over profit.

@R_Hawkes @britishasiantst The faces tell a story 😂😂😂

My @britishasiantst Mumbai colleagues were absolutely delighted that I was able to join their Xmas party this evening.

@R_Hawkes @britishasiantst Hope you are ok Richard. Get well soon.

Me in some very sexy pyjamas! Actually hospital pyjamas. Indian hospital pyjamas. 6 days so far. More to come. And not returning to the UK any time soon. My UK @britishasiantst colleagues are much happier about this situation than my lovely Indian colleagues 🤣

@NicolaBrentnall Big huns @NicolaBrentnall . Stay strong. He’s right there by your side.

My birthday. A year ago, when he was so very ill in hospital, Tom organised flowers for me. They were beautiful. I kept the card that accompanied them & the love he shared. Tom died in January. Today, as the Autumn colour season ends, I miss him more than ever. All we need is ❤️.

@R_Hawkes At least India won in the cricket 😊

Horrible day. Wolves thrashed at home, 2nd bottom, absolutely rubbish. 3 hour drive home through thunder and lightning. But I remain optimistic. Tomorrow the sun will shine. And by April Wolves will be top 6.

As festive celebrations kick-off this weekend, here’s wishing everyone a Happy Diwali. May this Festival of Lights bring you happiness, health, prosperity and cherished times with your loved ones. #happydiwali2022

@R_Hawkes @IGFupdates Interesting fusion sweets but not really traditional Diwali sweets 😊

Amazing #Diwali sweets thank you @IGFupdates And I managed to resist the temptation.....

@HitanM @R_Hawkes @britishasiantst Such fond memories @HitanM. Thanks for sharing.

The @britishasiantst first office window overlooked the scene of today’s historic announcement. I used to see this space out the window for 6 years! #Accessioncouncil

@R_Hawkes Did you manage to get back?

Train back home from Manchester cancelled. To get an earlier train it will only cost £300.....🤣🤣

@R_Hawkes Wanna meet for a drink in anticipation of an Indian win?

@madhurajesh Yep

Bye bye Virat 🤣🤣 #ENGvIND

@R_Hawkes Get well soon @R_Hawkes

Interesting day so far. Full anaesthetic, operation, discharged by 2pm "because you are so incredibly fit Mr Hawkes" (🤣🤣)...and now an afternoon of tennis and cricket lying on the sofa with the Love of My Life.....!!!

@StephenJFarrant Let’s catch up after you get back Steve. It’s been a while!

Fabulous time in the French Alps, catching up with old friends and re-connecting with nature. Ibex, marmots, wild arnica, eidelweiss - wild flowers & wild animals everywhere.

@angelamcconvill @RCObsGyn @Jenny_M_Ward @CHarmerSands @JanePlumb @ShaunaLeven @CocaCola So far so good!

@madhurajesh @RCObsGyn @Jenny_M_Ward @CHarmerSands @JanePlumb @ShaunaLeven You're too kind! How's life @CocaCola!!

Great to be back @RCObsGyn Women’s Health Hub today to connect with leaders in the Pregnancy & Baby Charities Network… always great to spend time with @Jenny_M_Ward @CHarmerSands @JanePlumb @ShaunaLeven
