A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of chatting with @laurasrobinson.bsky.social about her marvellous new book, The art of a lie, which is one of the books of the year. It's a wonderful interview and well worth a listen www.besomerset.com/post/art-of-...

This girl! From having major spinal surgery earlier in the year, to running around like a pup again now. A few months off her 10th birthday and always a pup to us. The best thing we ever did was rescue her, thanks to Lurcher SOS. We love our Petal 😍

Only 3 days left to visit Hatch Somerset’s latest exhibition JOURNEYS, & to find The White Cello in the secret Somerset barn! 🎻
Put on the headphones, listen to the music & poetry, & maybe you’ll relate to the need to make time for yourself 🤍
Thanks for your lovely feedback about it yesterday.
Journeys, the immersive exhibition by Hatch Somerset is open again this weekend in a secret barn in the countryside! Defy the rain & visit? It’s open 11am - 4pm both days with artist talks from 4.30pm today. My piece, The White Cello, includes photography, poetry & sound 🤍 Link to book, below…

It’s the opening weekend of ‘Journeys’ - the art exhibition in a secret barn in Somerset created by the Hatch Collective. Proud to be a member. My piece ‘The White Cello’ is a sound & photography installation about learning to make time for the things that genuinely bring you joy 🤍

Pudsey power! 🧸
Brilliant to help out at BBC Children in Need with BBC Radio Somerset, as Simon & Mel took on part of BBC local radio's three-legged walking challenge. Well done to the team & the fantastic listeners & supporters 👏 Lots of great moments, miles completed & of course, funds raised.
Such a pleasure chatting with Patrick. What an interesting, moving conversation 🎶
