A wonderful evening in Aysgarth last night enjoying the brilliant Jervaulx Singers. I’m not aware of their talent being featured on @classicfm.com or @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social but surely it’s only a matter of time. #SwaledaleFestival #Swalefest25 @latimerhinks.bsky.social

Wonderful hour spent taking in Crook Hall Gardens in Durham this afternoon. Wonderful setting, immaculately curated and cared for. #GardenEnvy plenty of ideas! Cafe was first class too 10/10 🙌🏻 @nationaltrust.org.uk

Surreal appearance and disappearance of huge wind turbines. Natural phenomena or clever use of cutting edge technology to counter NIMBY protests. 🤔 #justabitoffun #CountyDurham

Now this is what you call the perfect setting for a break. We loved our stay at Easby Hall, hosts Karen and John were fabulous and their home truly amazing. Best supporting actor for this tour de force…the weather☀️. @northyorkmoors.org.uk #EasbyHall #EasbyAbbey #Swaledale

I watched the wonderful Peter’s Friends recently, one of our “alternative” #Xmasmovies - #TonySlattery was the brilliant Brian, the hapless love interest of Alphonsia Emanuel. What a cast! #StephenFry #KennethBranagh #EmmaThompson #HughLaurie #ImeldaStaunton RIP Tony

I’m embracing the 60’s -

Amazing to consider where the time goes…with a New Year lets make it a memorable one, take on a challenge, try something new, speak to strangers, check in with friends, laugh, read, love, take pleasure in simple things, reflect and be mindful.

Quite a tasty treat last night. Wagyu cheeseburgers with homemade chips and crisp side salad.

A fabulous tour of #DarlingtonCollege yesterday. What an eye opener! Such rich resources for students. A studio suite for filmmakers, a cabin for air crew and fully populated hospital ward + so much more besides, what an amazing space to learn. Thanks Claire Hankey 🙌🏻

The jeopardy of coming home to check on your geriatric dog when it’s been a couple of hours since you’ve seen them and they’ve seen the garden 😬.

Can’t believe this was a week ago! Mr & Mrs “middle aged C&A models” heading into Bowness. #lakedistrict a great weekend in the Lake District.

What was the last book you read…..”Letting Go” “Casual Vacancy” “The Silent Wife” or Grisham’s “The Broker”?

Why bother with the above bestsellers when you can have the thrill of 3-way reconciliations? #itsaworkthing 🤓

12 years ago this origami styled Crane and its catch of a goldfish appeared on a wall in Lyme Regis. Unfortunately, without protection from the elements, over time it’s faded. It did make for quite the treasure hunt yesterday! #Banksy
