Ir labas Vilnius! What a beautiful city, especially in this autumn sunlight. I can’t wait to explore more of Lithuania - and to try more local dishes. What are your recommendations?
Some personal news. Honoured and delighted to be taking up this position next year. Labai laukiu galimybės tęsti ir vystyti santykius tarp JK ir Lietuvos
Sveika Lietuva! After travelling through 5 countries in 4 days, I have arrived in 🇱🇹 And what a wonderful welcome - a beautiful sunset and delicious supper in Klaipėda. Next stop Vilnius… @ukinlithuania
What a way to spend a Friday! Honoured to visit the FLF in Tapa, Estonia with my fellow British Ambassadors from the NordicBaltic region. An incredible demonstration of capabilities and Multi Domain Integration #WeAreNato
What a place to end our holiday in Rajasthan celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday. India is a truly fascinating country, and I was promised good karma by many delightful people whom we met (boding well for my upcoming posting 😁)
Today I finushed my Lithuanian language course at Klaipeda University. I have had a wonderful time, not only learning the language but learning so much more about Lithuanian history, geography and culture. I look forward to returning to live here in the autumn.
And that’s a wrap. Back in the UK after 3 years in Brussels (and very rarely a dull moment!) Thanks for all the wonderful memories @UKMisBrussels Au Revoir & Tot Ziens
An English breakfast, a visit to Canterbury Cathedral with my daughter and a pub meal. A perfect last day in the UK for a while. And so my road trip to 🇱🇹 begins…@ukinlithuania
A privilege to attend a special menorah lighting ceremony at the Litvak Community Centre this evening, in the presence of a number of special guests. Happy Hanukkah!
So happy, and feeling extremely fortunate, to attend the Buckingham Palace Garden Party yesterday with my son. And thrilled to see HM The King looking so well and in such good spirits. All topped off by a delightfully sunny day.
Honoured to represent the UK at Remembrance today. A multi-denominational service, bringing together people from many different countries and many different faiths. A poignant reminder in these troubled times that “we have more in common than divides us” #lestweforget2024
