Low intensity run today - conversational pace only #runsky #runnersofsky #runnerslife

Solid spring run today #runsky #runnersofsky

Thanks 🤩

Thank you! Am impressed with myself 🤭

New PB in the 10km! #runsky #runnersofsky #runnerslife

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Tennis lesson today… still as exhausting! #tennissky #tennis #tennislover

Spring is finally coming out here in Estonia meaning I can run without slipping in the ice and breaking my hip! #runsky #runnersofsky

Happy #internationalwomensday to all those women who inspire, support and are wonderful role models for our society. Heck I only wish there were more women leading our divided world… since men seem to be doing a good job in destroying it… 🙌

Burns Night with Tim—black tie, charitable fundraising and the kind of conversations that remind you why UK-Estonia partnerships matter. 🇬🇧 🇪🇪 🇫🇮 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Evenings like this, raising funds for charity whilst strengthening those ties, are part of what makes meaningful collaboration possible. #burnsnight

Auditioning for the next #JamesBond 🤵‍♂️ 😂

The best bits of Christmas captured in 4 photos.

My favourite people, our slightly wonky family pyramid, and a British Christmas dinner that all came together.

Grateful for every chaotic, wonderful moment.

Cheers to 2025! 🥂 🇬🇧 🇪🇪

Icy and slippery run today! 🧊 #runsky #runnersofsky #runninglife

My world ❤️ wifey, sons and stepdaughter on Christmas Day in Estonia. #blendedfamily 🇬🇧 🇪🇪 #christmas

Thanks! 🙏 Am proud but a bit sore today… 😉

First race since September due to an injury I picked up during my marathon. Great to be back road running, but it definitely felt like I hadn’t run in 2 months! 🏃‍♂️ #runsky #runnersofsky #runninglife #runner

UK Christmas goodies arrived in time for Christmas dinner 🎄 #gusbourne #britishchristmas #englishsparklingwine #winesky #winelover #christmascrackers 🇬🇧 > 🇪🇪

One of my favourite roles of being Vice-Chair of the British-Estonian chamber of commerce is our charity work, and this year our members raised funds for two charities making a real difference in Estonia.

It was a genuine pleasure to hand over cheques to both charities. #charities #estonia #uk

A map of Europe showing drone sightings near critical infrastructure in 2025. Drones were spotted near military bases, airports, and energy sites, particularly in Germany, Denmark, France, and Poland. Callouts highlight incidents over Danish airports and a French nuclear base.

A key Russian tactic is “razvedka boyem” – reconnaissance through battle – in which an enemy’s weaknesses are discoverd by constant probing. In September, Russian drones over Poland shut airports, inadvertantly revealing an easy way of wreaking chaos. Dozens of sightings have been reported since.

Une merveilleuse soirée à l’ambassade de France pour déguster des vins français exceptionnels. Comme beaucoup le savent, j’apprécie beaucoup la viticulture française, ce fut donc un moment fort.

Une dégustation très agréable et mémorable. 🍷🇫🇷 #winesky #winelover
