In April, a month after my mum died, I pinned a tweet to the top of my feed on X. I've been nervous about deleting my X account and never seeing that tweet again 😓. Then it occurred to me - I can pin it here instead, and I'll still see her whenever I log on. Miss you so much, Mum 💔

It’s got a whiff of the 80s about it - and that’s never a bad thing 👍

The warms temps in the Dales this year, have thrown up a tonne of weird and wonderful beasties that I’ve never encountered before.

Today’s offering is the western Conifer Seed Bug. Not a great pic but he moved and I freaked 🤣

I hate it when that happens. Do you ever wake yourself up by dribbling into your beard?

My Tulip Tree gives the most magnificent Autumn display. Not only do the leaves go a beautiful shade of gold, they also get tiger stripes 🐅

Everyone needs to take a look at their own baby photos. We all still look like ourselves as babies. We just grow up to be bigger versions. This girl looks absolutely nothing like Madeleine McCann. It’s clearly not her 🙄

No viewings here yet, Kath, but park homes are niche so the viewings can be slow. I’m not in a rush to that’s fine. I’m making regular trips to Liverpool - got a few viewings over there on Tuesday, just to get an idea what’s about. Hope you’re having a rest from that pesky wallpaper today?!

One birthday, I asked my brother to buy me an album of his choice that he thought I needed in my collection. He bought me this (he’s a cool bro!) ❤️ Bron-y-aur Stomp was an instant fave 🥰 and the cover artwork is a masterpiece all on its own. Hours of fun 😊

It’s called Scissored Isle. One of my faves. There’s also Welcome to the places of my life - a two parter which I seem to remember was also great (old-school Alan). Did you see Strategem? Also diabolical 😓

What are the OTH and TDT, Jim?

You’re right, although I thought Mid Morning Matters, the one-off about Manchester, and Alpha Papa were all classic Partridge and hilarious. But I hated the spoof One Show thing more recently, and this new one didn’t make me laugh once 😓

Saxondale - also genius 👍

I’m fine thanks, Guy, other than being sleep deprived thanks to the noisy weather! Hope all’s well with you too x

I also remember one about someone who was so good at limbo, he could limbo under a rug 🤷

I've no idea where I saw these. The only place I can think was maybe he used to guest on the Kelly Monteith show? I remember watching that as a kid and finding it really funny.

It's sherry I think! There are a lot of British cultural references in this, so might not be as funny for a non-Brit - but it gives you an idea of her vibe!
