Grumpy ex BBC news editor and freelance reporter now in his dotage but still earning an occasional crust. Along with Mrs D, owner of Breagha a wonderful rescued Rommie. Lousy golfer (me not the dog).
A remarkable piece of art in #Alnmouth in Northumberland to mark this year’s season of remembrance. It was created by an #Alnwick blacksmith from hundreds if not thousands of thin pieces of the same metal that #AntonyGormley used for the #AngeloftheNorth. #lestweforget

Just realised that it’s #internationaldogday so I’ll share a pic of this rascal. Breagha the rescue Rommie has been with us for 3 and a half years and he has enriched our lives beyond measure.

Found this on another social media site. I agree wholeheartedly.

A beautiful start to the day in #NorthBerwick for an early morning dog walk. But rain is on the way 😖

this is why even I"m quite frightened of the Scottish press pack, also it should be used in training for young journalists
Richard Tice came to Glasgow today to reveal Reform UK’s latest defectors. It did not go well. Got stuck when the Daily Mail’s Tom Gordon asked him for their names.

Hard to believe it’s three years ago today Breagha the #Romanianstreetdog came into our lives. The occasional challenges along the way have been outweighed by the joy and unconditional love he’s brought to us. I think he enjoys his home comforts more than the kill shelter from which he was rescued.

I don’t usually disclose what I’m having for supper but in the case of homemade #CullenSkink I’ll make an exception.

For Burns Night, a remote BBC musical collaboration. I accompany Meteorologist & BBC Scotland Weather presenter Calum MacColl singing Auld Lang Syne (the original melody). Wishing you storm-free celebrations.

Breagha says the new #doddieweir blanket is most comfortable while on squirrel watch. That’s not the purpose for which it was intended.

Breagha doesn’t realise that our new #doddieweir blanket for the sofa isn’t for his personal comfort. But persuading him to shift is another matter.
