Last Friday a friend and I went cycling at night to Romai part. I normally go early in the morning, but it was really lovely at night.

I’m very proud of how inclusive a place the UK is. We welcome all kinds of people: whatever their race, religion or minority group. And there are great benefits from doing that.
