RIP Prunella Scales, the great Fawlty Towers actress, who I was once lucky enough to interview for the Guardian over afternoon tea at her home in London - she was most welcoming, witty and entertaining.

Oasis gig organisers are encouraging 80, 000 people to bring “an empty plastic bottle” to the Heaton Park, Manchester gigs this month (middle of a heatwave).
I do hope they’ll accept non-#plastic water bottles too & we won’t be refused entry for not bringing plastic with us…

For the past few years I’ve been more used to having a hospital band rather than a festival band on my beleaguered right arm after shattering it requiring surgery & years of physio.

Amazing how hot spots of colour & nature scenes can lift the spirits even when receiving bad news…

I’m interviewed in the April 2025 issue of The Great Outdoors magazine, about my epic adventure walking the Pennine Way, which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary - a walking adventure I chronicled in my book I BELONG HERE. 🍃👣

I was on BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning, discussing the restorative powers of #nature, along with wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan. 🍃
(about 10 mins before the end; well worth listening to Malala speaking just before us, too)

Me & my attention span love short novels aka ‘novellas’ which seem to be popular at the moment.
We need to coin a word for short non-fiction books ie the non-fictional equivalent of ‘novella’… cc @carosanderson.bsky.social
