⚽️🏆It’s coming home! (It’s HOME!) @lionesses@englandfootball 🏆
The Lionesses have done what no England team has ever managed before, winning their first #Euros trophy ever - and in a genuinely entertaining, relentless match against the Germany team at that. 👏🙌🦁
(And now if anyone ever asks why women’s sport deserves the same funding, media coverage, opportunities and talent investment as men’s, we can just point to this match, this team - and the record-breaking audience that stood behind them- and let their history do the talking 💪 #justsayin)

I can’t believe that this week marks 5️⃣ years since I first joined @tempusmagazine to launch its daily luxury news website - long before we became part of @vantagemediauk!
I’ve worked with amazing people through a lot of different roles in those years, and each one has taught me so much, but instead of getting sentimental I’m going to just remind myself why I need a new passport with a #traveltuesday photo dump of my Tempus travels 😍

🍿#tbt to this year’s #LFCC! Backstage photo dump incoming 😍🎉
It’s always such a pleasure to get involved with hosting duties, and be part of this year’s dream team with @darrenjames756 and Dan Mason!
This year I got to interview and moderate some of the stars of my favourite shows - Red Dwarf, Doctor Who and Stranger Things included - and was thrilled to hear how much they enjoyed the panels. Thanks so much to team @officialshowmasters for having me on board.
I don’t have many on stage pics yet but here are a few backstage highlights 😍
1. Backstage with #StrangerThings’ Eddie @josephquinn

✨ Wednesday work birthday post ✨
I can’t believe it’s been two years since team Vantage (@vantagemediauk) launched #BurlingtonsMagazine for our brilliant clients Burlingtons Group! 🎉
The idea came up in late 2019, but it wasn’t until that first (horrible) Covid-19 lockdown that the collaboration really started, with the first ever issue launching 1 July 2020. Figuring out the logistics of that first issue entirely remotely was an ✨~experience~✨.
In publishing (and I’m sure most media can relate), you haven’t even finished one issue before you’re moving on to the next six, so it’s easy to forget to stop and appreciate milestones. I don’t where these last two years have gone omg, but I’m so pleased and proud with how Burlingtons’ collaborative and creative business mag has grown into its own 🎉🎉
🦜 So lovely to see this rare galah on her way back to Australia last week! @the_life_of_pippa Thanks so much for adding a last minute stop to your trip, Bob, and for making it seem like NO time had passed (literally none. We are still 3 years old). Next time we’re garden jumping 😂
☀️ Cornwall, you are hilly and beautiful ☀️
Took it back to the ‘90s with a family staycation with the parents last week. My only regret is that they refused to do Bodmin Jail’s spooky overnighter 😂
1-3 - The Eden Project
4 & 5 - Looe Bay
6 - Looe Island (and smuggler’s caves)
7 - Tamar Viaduct
8 - The Barbican, Plymouth
✨ Gracias @omega for the best time in Madrid last week celebrating the history of women’s watches.
The launch of #OMEGAHerTime had vintage watches, chats with Alessandra Ambrosio and a party at the Palacio! If you’re in Madrid, you can check out the exhibition (and see some amazing vintage pieces) for the next fortnight 😍
⚓️ Going coastal ⚓️
Trying to write up my dreamy long weekend in the #cotedazur and I think it would go a lot more smoothly if I could just pop back to #sainttropez and sit by the sea for a while longer…
✨ Night out in Monaco! ✨
Holiday blues have definitely set in so here are some fave pics from Friday at @metropolemonaco - check out my stories for our accidental visit to the Monaco e-Prix 😂
Welcome to the mid-30s club @alexandra.collingbourne 🥰🥂
🧑🏻🍳 Had the best time introducing my mum to @restaurant1890gordonramsay’s unbelievable tasting menu recently - she’s a tough critic but even Diddy couldn’t resist the desserts!
My review of the restaurant - which is a deliciously saucy tribute to legendary chef Georges Auguste Escoffier - is in our new issue of @tempusmagazine 👑
I’m a TERRIBLE food photographer, so official pics by John Carey - plus a sneaky pic of mum making bffs with our brilliant sommelier Emanuel Pesqueira.
