There’s something about a @btcc weekend at Silvers There’s something about a @btcc weekend at Silverstone that just hits differently 🏁❤️

Another weekend surrounded by cars, racing, familiar faces and some of the best people, and this one was definitely one to remember.

The usual British weather gave us the full experience… sunshine, wind, rain and everything in between 😂🇬🇧 But that didn’t stop the fun. From catching up with friends and getting out on the grid, to taking in all the garage action and soaking up the atmosphere around the paddock, there was so much to take in.

And then came the moment that made the weekend extra special… watching history as Ash Sutton secured his 5th BTCC Championship title 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Five titles is an incredible achievement, and being there to witness it was pretty special 🥺

Fast cars, unpredictable weather, good friends, garage chaos and a little bit of motorsport magic. Silverstone, you were a good one ❤️🏁🔥
Sharing a full body picture feels slightly terrify Sharing a full body picture feels slightly terrifying when you’re still getting used to the person looking back at you 🙈😂

7 stone down (or today’s absolute scale victory of 100lbs 🎉) and I’m still genuinely shocked by my reflection. I still avoid full length mirrors, still automatically reach for baggy clothes and still sometimes don’t quite recognise the person in photos.

But yesterday, on a work trip with my boss, I caught this picture and thought… actually, I’m proud of her ❤️

Not because of a number on the scales, but because of everything it took to get here. The determination, the consistency, the days I wanted to give up and the decision to keep going anyway.

My head is clearly taking a little longer to catch up with the reflection, but I’m learning to see myself differently.

So here’s me. Full body. No hiding. Still a work in progress, but bloody proud 🥹🩷⚡️
Nothing quite beats the feeling of sand between yo Nothing quite beats the feeling of sand between your toes and walking with your jeans rolled up in to the sea! 💙 

It may have only been a very brief visit but it worked wonders on my soul 🌊🐚✨

There’s no guarantee of what tomorrow holds ✨ So s There’s no guarantee of what tomorrow holds ✨ So say yes to the Welsh road trip. Walk on the beach and dip your toes in the sea. Dance with your friends. Laugh until your sides hurt 🥴

Celebrate the milestones, big and small. Hold on to the friends who show up, support and cheer you on to make life’s best moments even more meaningful 🫶🏻 

Life is too short to wait for the perfect moment. Make the memories, celebrate each other and enjoy the moments while you can. Happy 40th Birthday K, we love you 🥰 💛
