I agree, I had the impression that both George and Amber had no friends at school. #TheArchers

Hamas has officially declared the War is over.

If Israel kills another Palestinian they need to feel the weight of the entire world against them.

Tomorrow there will be the big party that Amber has splashed over social media. Markie and his thugs will have seen it and will be attending. #TheArchers

Thank you, my Bluesky friends has been lovely this week just how Twitter used to be. I know I’ll never meet most of you but it feels a real community.

Today is the second anniversary of Dad’s death so an emotional week for the family. This morning my brother and I went up to the Shropshire Hills to where we scattered his ashes, mum’s will be joining his in due course.

We are registering the death today and hoping to see the undertakers but then I’m going home and seeing the children over the weekend then back next week to do legal stuff.

What a powerful speech but how desperately depressing that he had to make it. #Reform #LoveisLove

I think I'd cycle 80 miles in a headwind to see Ely Cathedral. No other cathedral feels so organically grown from the earth itself - it's lantern tower is one of the most verdant wonders of the medieval world. #thread

Ely Cathedral’s octagon and spires rise above the town’s tiled rooftops, their weathered stone and intricate pinnacles catching morning light beneath a pale blue Fenland sky.

The choice of books in Felix Vallotton’s 'The Bookcase,' (1915) play nicely into the picture's palette: the shelves are filled with the yellow spines of the Bibliothèque Charpentier collection, in a nod to the (then) supposed female preference for thrilling novels.

Went for a walk this afternoon on Lyth Hill. Great to blow the cobwebs away. Mum loved Shropshire and its hills. #Shropshire

You’re absolutely right.

Her funeral plans say no lavish ceremony, no solemn music and definitely no photos. I wouldn’t dare go against her wishes.

Thank you

Tell me about it. Some of the things she really loved none of her family will give house room to but it feels like a betrayal. I just think she had so much pleasure from them and that’s the main thing.

Thank you. We are sad for ourselves but not for her.

#sophiefromromania returned from her walk invigorated by hunting through the leaves and especially by her furious bark off with the two golden retrievers behind their front gate. The owner and I apologised to each other profusely but it wasn’t our fault!

A house of your remaining parent is a strange and sad place when they die. It sits just as it always has but with out that spark that made it a home. We went to Sainsbury’s to get supplies and left the washing up to do later I could almost feel her tutting from heaven. #Grief
