A free spirit, but don't poke the bear! Politics is not an abstract concept, it's life. Centre left, both extremes equally bad! Anti Brexit/reform/Tories/murderous world leaders. Pro-Labour. Love languages/travel/culture/ nature/ food, not in that order!❤️

Joining family members, as we converge on South Wales to celebrate a birthday, returning to where my family grew up. Very memorable walk in the Afan Valley - beautiful, emotional AND long 🙄😉❤️

Very happy memories ... two years ago, I was in Kigali, running a conference. Fascinating place & impressive actions to heal past rifts. ❤️

So hard to know what to believe, and so easy to take subjective opinions, unproven statements and right-wing propaganda as worthy information. Please read and retweet this!

Go see ... it is an amazing film with Oscar winning performances. Even if you think you know about the subject ... for me, as much about naive populations giving way to narcissistic psychopathic political dictators - ANYWHERE - than just Nazis & Jews! A wake up call for us all!!!

Love watching Nigel Slater - and not just for the recipes. He is so easy and relaxing to watch. He makes everything look easy, normal, do-able. Love, love, love Nigel Slater. Definitely one of my fantasy dinner party guests! 🥰

War is only something to worship if you're one of the elites giving the orders, safe from injury/death/heartbreak. Some evils have to be fought, but diplomacy, political pressure and a deep desire for peace should always be the first option.

Like most people, I have very specific requirements for my pizza. To recreate the ones pictured here, I use tomato flatbread and add lots of anchovies (tins or marinated), olives and herbs. Cheese usually makes it too oily. Best pizza: la calleche, Aix, delicious and cheap as chips. 😋😋😋😋😋

"And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with the harmony." - Shakespeare, the lounge at the Mermaid Inn. I only do it once a year, but a visit to Rye wouldn't be complete without.

Tenterden. Growing older isn't all bad: just spent day with lovely friend of 30 years 😱 Met when I covered her maternity leave: typical, hillarious Scouse sense of humour! Haven't snorted as much (laughter not drugs) in ages. When you find someone on your wave length, make sure you stay tuned in!

Great start to day: bubble bath with Dire Straits & Cold Play! Lots of work ahead!🙄😢 Once got stuck in a bath... no, not cos of my voluptuousness😉 I used some Dead Sea exfoliating salts, containing a lot of oil & kept slipping/failing to get a grip! Story of my life. (not an antisemitic post 😬!!)

I don't like Mondays. And when I'm working, don't like Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays etc. Here's to brighter times!

If I had a talent ... it would definitely involve music - playing an instrument/singing! But ... I am in total awe of my friends who have such effortless arty artistic talents!
