I love the old Face The Music episodes on @bbciplayer.bsky.social particularly the ones with a very young, very clever, very handsome David Attenborough.

'Nothing but man of all envenomed things/Doth work upon itself, with inborn stings'

Unshowy and unsentimental but so very moving. Best book about wildlife I've ready for ages.

The barnacled prow of the Amsterdam. At one point the Dutch were going to retrieve the remains and take them back to the Netherlands in a giant tank, but I like the idea of leaving it here in the sands for future generations to discover.

I took advantage of a few days at my son’s flat in St Leonards, to make a very early morning pilgrimage to the skeletal remains of the Amsterdam on the wonderfully-named Bulverhythe (‘landing place of burghers’) Beach.

I made the mistake of asking the internet what other people thought of her writing. I really must stop doing that.
I loved it.

I particularly love Paul Hogarth's people. His illustration of his friend Graham Greene is typically loose, almost unfinished, in style, but there’s no mistaking who this is. #PaulHogarth

A prize from the bus shelter library 'bran tub'. An odd, but ever relevant story of what people will, and won’t do for money. And it has the Paul Hogarth illustrated cover to add to my collection. #GrahamGreene #reading

Not my favourite George Eliot: I just don't believe that the brother/sister bond is anything special. But the Dodson sisters make it an enjoyable read #GeorgeEliot #reading

I love this portrait of Virginia Woolf, #BOTD 25th January, 1882, painted by her sister, Vanessa Bell.
Taken a couple of summers ago at Monk's House, Rodmell.

A stunning morning at Rye Harbour NR. Highlights included a lot of lapwing, some fancy ducks and a spoonbill #RyeHarbour #Sussex
