Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

I found the Clive Horrobin horse-slashing story terrifying; this 'night raider' SL isn't a patch on it. Clive had a history in the village, & deeply held resentments, embedded in Ambridge life. The more they pile up Markey's crimes & grudges (gig? dogs? meats?), the thinner this becomes. #TheArchers

Agreed. … Carol Tregorran's another in this category, I think. #TheArchers

It's the kind of stiff politeness deployed to a stranger, not to a good friend or partner. #TheArchers

That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess.

These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.

How Trump Killed Cancer Research Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of “woke” studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research.

Sedum spectabile - 'Autumn Joy'. To give them just that at the back end of the season.

15 obituaries in 'The Guardian' today. No women.

All worthy subjects, but do we really need another day of 'Let us now Praise Famous Men' at #TheGuardian? @theguardian.com #obituaries #wherearethewomen #everydaysexism

I used to try encouraging my mum to venture on one... We used to see the ads in the 'Radio Times'. Days of Yore.

Step up, Oliver. #TheArchers

Wasn't it Kathy (Hedli Niklaus)? (I never went on one, so am probably wrong.) #TheArchers

I wondered whether Peggy's fortune would run to this. Perhaps they'll all choose to staycation in Ambridge, flying in the outliers, and spend it all on treats from Underwoods, in a kind of Wakes Week extravaganza. #TheArchers

David Austin: Rosa Desdemona and some of her buds

David Austin: Rosa Shropshire Lad, climbing.

A single, perfect alabaster bloom of Rosa Desdemona.

Two of mine to add to
the David Austin celebration: Shropshire Lad and Desdemona. Others are happy, too, but I'm giving these two troupers their moment in the spotlight.

A nicely turned tribute to June Spencer, on 'a lovely June day'; but I'm not wearing deep black crêpe for Peggy. #TheArchers

Good questions. Whatever the answers, Jakob is a trusting soul! #TheArchers

'Performative athleticism' would have been a fair evening’s ration; but two whole story strands …. Wonderful. Thank you! #TheArchers

They liked 'men to be men', and no place for the infiltration of the Church by women clergy? (Peggy shook off St Stephen's for Felpersham Cathedral for the whole of Janet’s time in Ambridge.) #TheArchers

In other news: will they give us the Victorian 'Reading of the Will' before the funeral buffet is cleared away? #TheArchers

Yes, I agree. What a moving scene; it took me by surprise. #TheArchers

There's an little report here: #TheArchers

And he rears pigs. #TheArchers

Agree here, too. Just a wisp of a hope for Emma Grundy as an outlier (she reminded Peggy of herself … )? #TheArchers

Ambridge has seen so many fallings out over the years, it always amazes me there’s anyone left still speaking. A full cast of sulking silents? #TheArchers

Very neat, Chris. I'm for it. #TheArchers

Snake. #TheArchers

I think Rochelle is for the chop. #TheArchers

I have been informed that the Jack Woolley Pavilion was only built in 1982...

#TheArchers

Horrible - and the same in so many orher beautiful places.
