They're moving #TheArchers omnibus on a Sunday morning swap around with Desert Island Discs/The Reunion. So a new start at 11am - not sure when it's happening but it's happening.

If Ed gets past this muddy patch maybe he will give up, sell up and then he might be able to afford to retrain as a tree surgeon. Emma too. I think I can hear them sharpening up the sound effects #TheArchers

'I am here you know' says Emma. But listening through headphones I think she's in a different sound environment/phoning it in/has her head in a crisp box.

I'm thinking that when Harry met Alice he was being a high-handed twerp. This second weirdness with Chris is clanging the warning bell again. What next? #TheArchers

It could all have been so different if Harry had brought Alice a nice Irish coffee to warm her up. I can stop worrying about him slipping her a drink now. #TheArchers

If you love flowers and plants might you be interested in this anthology of contemporary short stories? 'Botanical Short Stories' is coming out in early April and is available to order now from booksellers everywhere. My contribution is a story called 'Narcissus' 🌱 #natuur #nature #natuurliefhebber

I still love the sound of breaking glass but these days only as it is tipped into the recycling lorry.

I'm worried that this is stand up by farmers idea is actually going to happen and 'Bring in the Corn' will be a Christmas spin off show from the #TheArchers
So, did Jasper Carrott offer his services to do stand-up on #TheArchers a couple of years ago and then, working backwards, the SWs stuck Sykesy in as a character at The Laurels to lead to this Christmas turn?

With Rob gone I feel we must be due for a flying visit from Hazel Woolley if Annette Badland isn't too busy being excellent in something else. #TheArchers

Remember remember the 4th of November? Fireworks a go go here. Apparently the Gunpowder Plotters decided they wouldn't try to blow up the Houses of Parliament when the King was there but on the nearest Saturday.

I don't want to make anyone feel sick but I've just written 18 Christmas cards. That:s Australia, USA, Netherlands, Scotland and Wales done. Only because we are housesitting and normal activities are suspended and there's a lovely big table. Don't have such luxuries at home.
