For any of my friends who haven't seen this before #duvetknowitschristmas is a wonderful Yuletide tradition. Enjoy.
1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.

If anyone lost a monkey at the @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social this week, fear not, he's still here and having a lovely time.

He is ready to go home though, so if he was with you, get in touch with us and we'll get him home for Christmas!

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social
