It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and we still haven't done enough to give people space to talk about their own mental health. Such an important part of this awareness week

Great to meet up with my constituent Nick Smith this am. Nick is raising funds for MND Association and today ran the Romsey Park Run, I'll be sharing more details on Facebook

Lovely day for North Baddesley Village Day - so many great stalls and activities

Wonderful afternoon at West Tytherley Fete, listening to Lockerley Silver Band and talking to residents

You definitely cannot beat Carlo's Ices in Wellow on a sunny Saturday

Today is the Romdag dementia information day at the Crosfield Hall - well worth popping in to talk lasting power of attorney, Specsavers home visits, Portioned 4 U meal deliveries etc

Broughton Village fete this afternoon - amazing lemon dribble and another tomato plant to add to the collection

A privilege to meet the delegation from Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine - Ukrainian Parliament yesterday and Deputy Speaker Olena Kondratiuk and to hear at first hand the realities of war

Massive thanks to all the volunteers parkrun UK in Romsey this morning - donning my MND Association tshirt and trainers for a quick 5k with my constituent Nick Smith

Incredible to have a Spitfire fly past at West Dean village fete this afternoon, such an iconic sound.

Thanks to all the volunteers at West Dean fete this afternoon - hope the PM's signed bottle got a good price in the silent auction.

Lovely to be with so many Test Valley BC friends at Cllr Gordon Bailey's civic service

Huge thank you to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust for championing chalk streams in Parliament today. Good to see so many colleagues from across the House attending

Devastating decision by NatWest Group to close the branch in Romsey - insulting and ill informed to suggest the Cowes Banking Hub is an alternative for Romsey residents and to be unaware of Post Office plans to dispose of directly managed branch in Romsey.

Interesting conversation with transportenvironment.org about zero emission trucks outside Parliament today - thanks to Welch Group for sending the truck!

Lovely to be at Wellow School this morning to celebrate their 150th anniversary and see the refurbished clock donated by Florence Nightingale

Great to be back in Appleshaw for Sue's retirement party. Huge thanks to her for all she does for the community.

My constituent Ketan Shah was tragically killed in last week's Air India crash, today I passed on my condolences to his family from the Chair.

Blowing out the cobwebs with parkrun UK - way too hot and maybe not my best plan (or time 😂)

Inspired by the reduce reuse recycle mantra, I've been to the Wellow Church Garden Party and bought a new (to me) bin!
