Just took my first ever ‘domestic’ flight (Newark to SF). So wild to be able to just walk straight off the plane and out of the building - no passport or customs stuff.

Which would have made more difference if I didn’t have checked luggage

I may rather dislike flying… but goodness me I like where it takes me sometimes

I kid you not, for our penultimate stay of the trip - we’ve rented part of a castle in Germany!
(If you zoom in you can see us in the balcony.)

Same spot in Austria at sunset, 7 years apart, almost to the day.

We’re heading towards the final leg of this wonderful roadtrip, and feeling incredibly proud of the amazing young adults that Jack and Zoe have become, and extremely privileged that we’ve got to share this journey with them

Waking up to wonderful Austria - and what I think is my favourite place in the world. It was the highlight of our 2018 trip, and still lives up to the memories.

We are heading to Tre Cime next

This has been an epic place to stay, way up on the mountainside with cracking views over Lake Garda

Italy is an interesting mix of extremes

This morning: registering for the ‘tollgate-free toll roads’ which were only sign posted once already on it… and requires passport uploads etc

Also this morning: eating fresh figs from the tree while looking out over this stunning vineyard filled landscape

Day 15 of Eurotrip 2025
Waking up in the vineyards of Italy is pretty special.

Day 12
The view we had for lunch is pretty good too!
Altesch glacier, Switzerland (biggest glacier in Europe )

Day 12, Eurotrip 2025
Starting the day with a remarkable view from the balcony (and the Matterhorn way off in the distance)

Day 10, Eurotrip 2025
Tour de France (Femmes) passed through the village we’re staying in - what a spectacle

Blissful 30 minutes watching the most perfect conjunction of the moon and the cross atop of Col de Rossanaz

Day 3
Eurotrip 2025
Karting at the international circuit Argenton
The 2-strokes were very rapid and were the wildest motorsports experience

Day 2
Eurotrip 2025

Occitan trebucca
(“That brings trouble”)

The trebuchet were epic in Age of Empires

Out of Office is On

Jack swapped out his 19 yo Honda Jazz daily driver, for something a little more spritely at Thruxton today.

You look stunning together ❤️

Lovely chilled afternoon.

Excellent - thank you Oliver.

You got a lovely one of Jack (at his first WebDev Conference)

(Might the hi res also be shared anywhere)

Hi @oliverlindberg.com, Have the photos been shared somewhere? (Not a problem of course if they’ve not been yet)

Hulk is into a potential podium place! #f1

We live about 30 miles south of Silverstone. Sitting in the garden room watching the #F1 race is adding a visceral additional dimension.

One minute I’m drying the SUPs in glorious sun, then next it’s hoofing it down and I’m scrambling to bring everything and and to close up

Em’s 23rd _ consecutive _ year of Race for Life x

We did a 60km loop into Oxford and back home via Abingdon - so lucky to live where we do

Group shot of the Pixel Pioneers Bristol 2025 audience in the raked-seating theatre of the Arnolfini. Everyone is smiling and putting their hands in the air.

Many, many thanks to everyone who played a part in making last Friday's @pixelpioneers.co Bristol such a wonderful day: all the speakers, sponsors and supporters, attendees, volunteers, and MC @philhawksworth.dev of course!

Stay tuned for the full photo gallery and the videos of the talks!

Woohoo - tysm Phill 🎉

I’m probably the last person to ask you for a book 😉

(But give the book to Jack please as it’s his first ever conf! )
