Still awestruck with total admiration for the woman at our team Christmas meal out in town last night who abruptly stood up and declared
‘Right. I’ve had enough of you lot now. I’m off home’
put her coat on and promptly left the restaurant.

Could there be a more British headline?
Maybe a mention of potholes, queuing, the weather and #TheArchers?

We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Sunday sunrise from Glastonbury Tor. It was a crisp and sunny start to the day. A perfect Winters morning as we leave November and head into December tomorrow.

A very special first edition of The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte's brilliant, searing novel of abuse and courage which still resonates today. This belonged to Anne Bronte herself and was gifted to her friend Ellen Nussey.

Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

#TheArchers Thinking about it, Helen has never had a man with a farming background. She might like a working partner. She could make sheepsmilk cheese or perhaps get some goats. It’s unlikely that she will move to Scotland, though.

#TheArchers #Childbirth it is many years since I gave birth but what has happened to breathing exercises & reciting a nursery rhyme at the height of the contraction? I am the worst of old wives because I found the experience quite bearable although I would not have wanted to do it every week for fun
