And we make them tea & coffee. My husband never offers to do that.

I’m really loving your Dartmoor photos. We returned there with our adult children for a holiday last May after a ten year break. Going this year too & can’t wait.

Apparently there are lots of shags in Scotland. According to the Scottish Wildlife Trust #TheArchers

I picked up another bag of dog poo as well as that of my own dog today as a Lenten penance so listening to that episode of #TheArchers in addition must put me on the beatification fast track.

Didn’t he want to be baptised at St Stephen’s? Perhaps he had a deathbed conversion to Catholicism, like Wittgenstein #TheArchers

I’ve been avoiding the bodice ripping Wuthering Heights film. Please don’t give us an Ambridge version. Do you think he wears a kilt though?

Be careful: being able to pronounce it correct might be used as a test of your Britishness at some point by the extreme Right.

Polanski exposed as economically illiterate by Alistair Campbell & Rory Stewart on TRIP too. They have him a hard time.

I listened to Farage on Political Thinking & it was chilling. The lies & misrepresentations & when challenged by Nick Robinson- who absolutely gave him a hard time- he either played the victim or laughed it off, in the case of anti-semitism at school.

As a long standing member of taxi licensing committees, I can confirm that accusations without evidence nor supported by police concerns shouldn’t get a taxi driver struck off. Very happy to be a script adviser though! #thearchers

He can make common ground with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor who’s family have only given him a cottage on one of their estates #TheArchers

I’d begun to think that with the farm job, George might turn things around but this just shows him for the low life he is: untrustworthy, no honour. This will divide Ambridge, for sure #TheArchers

Worth waiting for the Norwegian team just to see the knitwear. I approve. #Winterolympics

Good for you! It used to be so time
consuming & our other children who weren’t the birthday child insisted on having party bags too!

What a great idea! Children really don’t notice whether something is new. I always tried hard to make the mandatory party bags as sustainable as possible so usually filled them with pencils & pairs of socks & tried to avoid plastic.

I’ve lost track of the number of times I stood with my children as people lined up along the road leading up to the John Radcliffe Hospital as the bodies of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan were brought back. What must their poor families think of Trump’s comments?

I hope it doesn’t display the buried underwear which was a thing (or perhaps thong) a couple of years ago #TheArchers

‘I never thought that a man who mutilated a horse could be changed by mindfulness’. Contender for line of the year from David #TheArchers

I told you all that Clive would be back & he is! #TheArchers

Or Great Uncle Clive is back in town #TheArchers

Not a lot of mentions of the importance of eating bacon in either Old or New Testaments, for some reason…

I’ve been a practising Christian all my life. Of all the key practices and beliefs which mark out a Christian, eating bacon is not one of them.

Where’s Joy Horvill when you need her? #BBCTheArchers

Looks like the British version of the Reich Kirche.

My husband is a supporter of the Robins, but he has no Barbour jacket. Their ground is in the rougher part of Cheltenham (though that’s hardly Kirkby or Toxteth rough). Harrogate is the superior town: there’s no Betty’s in Cheltenham.

But no baby Clives or Keiths. Funny that #TheArchers

Catching up with #TheArchers & penny has just dropped that Mark Bonnar is playing Finlay. Obviously he stuck around the castle after leaving The Traitors. Hope he becomes a permanent fixture. Will he move to Ambridge??

Very proud of my little sister who is part of this research group. Fantastic progress.

And I’d suggest he walk around a few old churchyards to see what the absence of vaccinations used to do to ‘fragile babies’.

My mum has the same. A natter about Trump would be lively rather than lovely. She loathes the man & Farage. Once she stops getting angry about them we’ll start to worry about her.
