He’s only 13 so I wasn’t sure how he’d manage but you made sure the story was so accessible that he was gripped. Lots of questions about the Reformation on the way home 🤪 Thank you!

Hard to top yesterday’s proceedings with my son: My Neighbour Totoro matinee on Drury Lane, a walk down Whitehall, a parliamentary pub stop + an excellent talk on the invention of British art by @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social at St Margaret’s church @westminsterabbey.bsky.social 🙏🏼 #London #TotoroShow

Today I had my smashed front tooth fixed by my NHS dentist (cost, £27.50). Not long ago I’d have been consigned to the scrapheap as a snaggle-toothed crone.

Looking at some old pictures of the #Berlin #LoveParade circa 2003. It amazes me that the whole city was basically an outdoor club for the weekend. Times!!

A portrait photograph of HM The King smiling as he stands in the Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey. Two Christmas trees lit with warm white light stands in the background.

“How likely are you to recommend this piece of 💩 Ai-driven communication to a friend?”

Actually I do know why I'm angry: it's the cowardly way they're just trying to nickel-and-dime the electorate while still not sorting out our national problems, and indeed not feeling that they even want to do more than fiddle round the edges.

Blimey!! Where’d the peregrines got that from? Woodcock are such fascinating birds.

Re the London Bird Club, I think it was because I was an unknown reporter. (And a female 😉.)

Beautiful Waterstock. They are still fighting the enormous development there.

I wish I had known you when I lived in WN. I would have invited you to come up and see the migrating nightjar that took a break one autumn evening on the roof of our neighbour’s house. (London Birders didn’t believe me.)
