Feeling like the luckiest guy in the world to have these two wonderful creatures by my side, even when I'm at work! 💛

We had an early start this morning & managed a run in the woods before work.

Hopefully this will help them both to be nice & calm for the rest of the day!

The evidence is in. There aren’t enough accessible and inclusive playgrounds in the UK for disabled children.

Out of 1000 playgrounds investigated, only 1 in 10 were suitable for disabled children.

Have you used our Playground Accessibility Map yet?

I was worried that Quark may have a little too much energy when he came to us, as Kika has always been calm. But after a few weeks, Quark had settled down & he definitely loves having Kika as a big sister.

At 6am this morning I find them together 💛

This is what weekends are all about, family time!

It was relatively easy taking videos of Kika, just point the camera towards the sound of the bell, now with 2 dogs, I need to pay attention.

Its lucky for me that I can usually hear them before anybody can see them 🤦🏽‍♂️

8 in 10 parents & carers say zebra crossings on side roads would make them feel safer walking their children to school. Today we've announced new side road zebra trials to help West Midlands Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Combined Authority with their devolution deals. Watch our video with Chris Boardman 🦓🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽🛴

Last week at the museum there were teachers using dog whistles to gather their students. This morning on the train, there were kids on a school trip, again a teacher was blowing on a dog whistle every few minutes, is this a new thing?

Q’s exhausted jumping up to every whistle 🥱

Annabelle loved watching Kika and Dr Amit Patel on Dog Squad today. She found the braille printer interesting. It's so lovely she can learn about blindness and accessibility via a children's programme. It definitely helps her understand her big sister more and how she can help!

You may think I'm snoozing but did you know, I'm always on high alert, because I never know where I'm going or how long l'll be out for.

I've learned to take my rest wherever and whenever I can - so if that means sneaking in a little snooze between stops on the tube, I'll do it!

What’s more fun than taking a dog to the woods on a Sunday? Taking two of course! 🐾

[Video shows Kika, yellow lab & Quark black lab, jumping over tree logs in the woods, finishing with them looking up happily at the camera]

Since Mr Q’s arrival, my daughter has fully embraced her new role as a big sister - she loves it! But the bond between Kika & her is so strong too.

This is how we’re spending this evening. There’s plenty of LOVE in the Patel household 💛
