I’m not Racist but…

I’m not Racist but…

They’re not about one thing happening to one person, they’re about the millions of voices whose blood has been spilled because of racist ideology that says, “You’re not fully human.”

I was on Gordon Ramsay’s #futurefoodstars on BBC 1 Thursday night where I got to showcase our family business and the amazing environment we live in and our oysters grow in. It’s not often you get to showcase what you do on prime time tv to someone so influential in the food world. You can catch the episode on BBC iPlayer. #feelingproud #merseaisland #mersea #gordonramsay #bbc #oysters #richardhawardsoyster #familybusiness Filtered is a short film about my journey from being suicidal to finding healing and how being part of a wonderful community has helped with that. I hope you find something useful in watching it. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #healing #depressionawareness I’ll always be there to hold your hand my baby girl ❤️😭 #daddyanddaughter #fatherhood #family #daughter #babygirl My baby girl ❤️ #daddyanddaughter #dadlife #family❤️ This shed is over 100 years old, and we have used it for many years to process 5000-10000 oysters per day. It had become a bit of a safety nightmare and I wouldn’t have been surprised if the strong winds this week knocked it down so it has been demolished to be replaced. I have found grant money to pay for 50% of the rebuild and am quite proud of managing to get this project happening. The new shed will be much more suitable for what we do and honour the heritage of the old shed, ‘Wolfies’. #mersea #merseaisland #secretmerseaisland #oyster #oysters #essexlife I now have an author site, thanks to @gemmaandlife ❤️ 📖 link in bio 👆🏽#writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writing #author #authorsofinstagram My beautiful girls. 2022 is a big year with Autumn turning 1, my manuscript for my novel will be going to the publisher and Gem and I will become Mr & Mrs. ❤️ Happy 3rd Birthday, Hendricks. 🥳🎂🎁 #cockapoo #cockapoosofinstagram #birthdayboy #christmas #christmasbirthday Baby girl loves the camera, like her daddy 😭❤️😂 Hand picking oysters at sunset is good for the soul. And a nice cold beer to ease the back pain after always helps 📸 @gemmaandlife #oyster #oysters #essex #mersea #merseaisland #britishseafood For many years I have tried and tried to find a publisher for my novel. I had almost given up as it seemed being a published author would always be an unrealised dream. Not any more. A few weeks ago I signed a contract for a book deal and my novel, The Path of Chaos, will be released in Nov 2023 in hard copy, as an e-book and as an audio book. It feels amazing to have achieved this dream. #writersofinstagram #writing #writers #writingcommunity #newauthor #dreamsbecomereality We caught a whopper of an oyster today 😂 #merseaisland #oysters #babiesofinstagram #kidsatwork We took Autumn to the annual ceremony marking the opening of the Native oyster season. Obviously she has an outfit appropriate for the occasion. #merseaisland #babygirl #babiesofinstagram #family #essex #oysters #daddyanddaughter Autumn’s first Mersea regatta ❤️🥰😭 #merseaisland #mersea #mersealife #oysterbaby #sealife #myworld #mybabygirl Took little 9th Gen to work today and it made me all gooey thinking about when she will be able to understand the history she is part of. It was made even better by Autumn’s amazing outfit bought by our good friend Keith #oyster #oysters #merseaisland #secretmerseaisland #sealife #essexlife #oysterfarming Some people think we treat Hendricks too much like a human. But if giving him a loving, caring, happy home is too human then too human is more than good enough. And he’s not only my boy but his fierce protectiveness of Gem and Autumn is more intense than many people, so he can be as ‘too human’ as he wants because Hendricks is the perfect part of the family. #cockapoo #dogsofinstagram #cockapoosofinstagram #dogsarefamily #dogsarethebest #mansbestfriend #mydog #dogstagram
