I love the school run shout-outs on Classic FM, absolute mayhem. Happy birthday to Jacinta, 9, who's going on a trip up Everest after her cor anglais exam, and Mungo, 7, who will be invested as Archbishop of York after his PhD viva on the origins of Mandarin.

There is a super pub below the crag called The Tennent Arms
Each morning we open a window to the Dales and share some of its special qualities. This is a quite stunning autumn view across Kilnsey Park towards Kilnsey Crag.
