“The Traitors” & “Race Across the World” are both produced by @studiolambert. The other thing both series have in common is fabulous, flawless editing.

Terrific service by Vaillant. Boiler packs up at 1200, ring them straight away and engineer there by 2pm, sorted by 3pm. Impressive stuff.

Need a bit of an uplift this morning? This week’s Life Changing on Radio 4 with Sian Williams is remarkable. What a story.

Stunning day on the Blackwater at Goldhanger.

A first win of the season for Colchester! A late try gives Col victory at Sevenoaks. The celebrations at the final whistle said it all

Crossing the bridge to watch Colchester RFC at Sevenoaks today. Good luck to the lads as the search goes on for a first win in Nat 2!

Small Things Like These is an extraordinary film. Beautiful to look at and with a mesmerising central performance by Cillian Murphy.
