Marky’s gang? We can’t have this solved already, that would be a massive let down. #TheArchers

Did I miss the bit where we have peace in the Middle East? It still looks a bit fighty to me.

#TheArchers Borsetshire constabulary now have so much dirt on Ambridge residents that they’ll get their own police station for safety reasons. 🤣

I really hope nothing like this happens in my neighbourhood because honestly if I’m interviewed like this with all my neighbours I’d be confessing to anything. Is this what being interviewed by the police is like?? #TheArchers

I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas
He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic
Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates
He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

In summer I keep my neighbours in home grown heirloom tomatoes and in autumn I am rich in apples and foraged walnuts, mushrooms and quinces that they give me. I feel so fortunate.

It’s my 6 year allotmentversary. On this day I sent Andrew this photo (he was in A&E after a motorbike accident) and told him this was totally fine! It’s not as lush today as usual, the drought has been hard, but it’s better, and I did it all myself (he died the following January). #allotment #widow

It took me 2.5 hours to sort out the chaos of 40 tomato plants in my tiny yard this morning. It turns out they do quite well if you abandon them for 2 weeks with auto irrigation. Rewarded with the first ripe Artisan Golden Bumblebee. #tomato

Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection.

Home from a lovely European adventure mostly by train to the Hungarian Grand Prix via Paris and Vienna. Now I can settle down and watch the race. It’s fair to say you go to F1 to see it, feel it and smell the burning rubber, but the race can be hard to follow. #F1

You know you spend too much time in Spain when you're refreshing your languages to try and be polite in upcoming holiday and you think "what's French for por favor?". There will definitely be Spanish, my default foreign, accidentally slipping in with attempted French, German and Hungarian.

Post work door-to-door courgette distribution to the neighbours successfully completed, it's still early enough in the season that they answer the door to me when I'm trying to get rid of excess produce.

Pitched my tent in a field at Silverstone, lounging under a tree and there’s a bunch of some kind of Hairstreak butterflies at the top of the ash tree in mature hedgerow above my head. I don’t have my binoculars. This is a tragedy. People are looking at me funny, wondering why I’m staring at a tree.
