This was taken in mid-February outside the CN Tower, #Toronto, #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. Love the #BlueSky too.

Suspect the #snow facsimile has melted by now.

While in #Toronto, #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ last month, we got tickets to watch Toronto #Marlies take on Laval Rocket at the Scotiabank Arena. First time watching ice hockey.

It was the Family Day Bank Holiday (we could do with one of those here in the UK πŸ˜€! Fantastic first match to experience too.

We walked down to the harbourfront #Toronto, #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. The ice in this stretch of water was like nothing I'd seen before.

Looked impressive, but you wouldn't want to try and walk on it. The week we were there (mid-February 2026) the area was experiencing "warmer" temperatures.

There's also a police and shoe museum. Are there any other #Toronto museums (other than the ROM and Casa Loma) we should visit?

Old rail equipment, an old diesel engine and an orange carriage part of the rail museum, Toronto. Both standing in the snow.

Found this beast, and an old orange carriage alongside other pieces of equipment outside the museum of #rail in #Toronto, #Ontario, #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. The amount of snow blew us away.

We very rarely get snow like this in Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

No chance to visit the museum but hope to do so in the future.

Indulge me, but I'm going to start sharing photos from my visit to #Toronto and #NiagaraFalls earlier in the month. A little feed cleanser in these troubling times.

It was our first visit to #Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. Won't be our last.

This was the first proper view of the CN Tower after leaving the hotel.

We hope this guidance will lead to the increased use of capsule-sponge throughout the NHS to diagnose oesophageal cancer precursor, Barrett's oesophagus.

World Cancer Day is a reminder that outcomes don’t just depend on treatment, they depend on timing.

In Wales, delays in gynaecological cancer care remain severe. In November, only 32% of patients started treatment within the 62-day target, with wide variation between Health Boards.

If you’re aged 25–64 and have a cervix, you’ll be invited for screening every 5 years.

In Wales, NHS cervical screening can prevent cervical cancer, or detect it early when treatment is most effective.

Cancer prevention is cancer care.
That’s why cervical screening matters.

Today, we’re calling on the UK #LungCancer community to join us in making our new survival ambition a reality.

35 by 35: by 3035 we want 35% of people with lung cancer still alive 5 years after diagnosis.
