I've heard it said
That people come into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led to those
Who help us most to grow if we let them
And we help them in return...

For Good - Wicked (the musical 🎵)

“Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting."

David Bowie

Farewell to the actor John Woodbine who died today. He was ubiquitous in the film and TV of my childhood appearing in everything from Z Cars, Dr Who and the films The Devils and An American Werewolf in London.

I will always love listening to Elgar. It brings to mind visiting the Malvern Hills when I was younger.

I love the whole atmosphere of the Basil Rathbone 1939 film ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

I had a little spider I named Shirley. She used to live on the outside of the window. I took a photo of her web, and it is so beautiful. They are so clever and they create beautiful patterns.

I have always loved musicals. There was a great show cast recording from around 1985 called ‘Big River’ and it was about Huckleberry Finn. The song ‘River in the Rain’ has always been a favourite of mine. I never saw the show as it was on Broadway back then. Does anyone know the song? It’s so catchy

A pair of Jays swoop us into the first #FlyDay of October! 😍

Two Jays in mid-air against a backdrop of golden autumn leaves, one banking sharply with wings fanned wide, the other gliding towards it…dramatically swooping us into October’s first FlyDay.

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair…

I saw Peter Bowles in the play ‘Sleuth’ in the early 2000’s. He was a truly great actor and it was such a good story.
