Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Back from a week away, exploring stately homes, trains, the Norfolk Broads and a bit of seaside. Lots of music to catch up on!

Belated Good Morning, Tom and Breakfasters. Have been listening, honest, just not had a chance to post. Good choices this morning. As for places, we’re just back from Exmouth, also lovely.

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. No idea about the Stretch yet, sorry. Experiencing @bbcproms withdrawal symptoms but we still have several concerts to catch up on on Sounds and I-player, and there’s lots of music to look forward to locally.

Good morning, Tom (glad you had a good week in France), and Radio 3 Breakfasters, as a new week and a new month begin. In case you’re missing the swans of the southwest, here are some we encountered in Stratford on Avon last week.

Good morning, Hannah and Radio 3 Breakfasters. Desk looks very impressive. Here we have rain and that’s still a novelty! Looking forward to another Royal Albert Hall trip this evening.

Good morning, Tom and Breakfasters. The week’s starting well after great Proms concerts on Radio and TV over the weekend. A friend’s chosen this perfect present for me and I’m looking forward to using it over the next few weeks.

Appalled at the cruelty we’ve seen today. Watching #GardenersWorld as a brief interlude of sanity and beauty. Our front border isn’t far advanced yet but it’s trying.

Late checking in over here today but Good morning, Petroc and fellow Breakfasters. Frosty here but excellent musical menu to bring warmth. People on Twitter have already seen it but here’s a photo from our chilly walk in the park last Friday.

Something this glorious brings optimism. It was a Christmas present last year but the flower buds all fell off. Since then, I’ve been talking to it regularly and my husband has watered it, apparently getting the amount right.

Very cold but sunny day yesterday for a trip to Newark, with @stuartbj.bsky.social as our guide. Good to have a chat with him after visiting the very impressive @civilwarcentre.
