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

I’m still wearing my summer shorts, but in the kitchen the menu has turned distinctly autumnal. #tweetyourtea

Can’t remember where I saw this but it appealed to my sense of humour.

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 😖

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.

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.
