Just wonderful: the thank you card that Jilly Cooper sent me after I reviewed Apassionata in the Dorset Echo back in 1997. Apparently it was a heavenly review and I'm a darling. RIP Jilly, you glorious woman

An island of strangers? I don't think so Mr Starmer. Here's 500k of your so-called strangers from all over the UK uniting for just one cause, or, rather, one just cause #freepalestine #gwzamarch #peacemarch #israelisaterrorstate

Today I learned that the cat who hangs out at our local garden centre is called Banjo, and I am absolutely on board with that #cat

Fabulous and productive morning #gardening including spotting this queen bumblebee feeding on a stinking hellebore. Signs of spring are there if you look for them #gardening #bumblebee #hellebore #positive #garden #insects #wildlifegardebn
