Lovely day at #lincolnbookfestival today. Especially enjoyed #dominicfranks #upsidedowncooking my youngest ate the shallots in the delicious taster, and wants to try making it. He usually picks out all onion and related veg so this was very impressive!

Beige text against a burnt orange background reads: As individuals and a team, the academic and technical staff within the University of Lincoln's department of Conservation are shocked and saddened to learn of the redundancies taking place within National Trust conservation studios and properties.  The National Trust has been a sector leader in the care and conservation of our shared cultural heritage for generations, and a beacon to which our students look for inspiration, guidance, and experience. We are concerned for what the cuts may mean for emerging professionals and the conservation sector, but we send our heartfelt thanks to each and every National Trust colleague - past and present - who has supported us in our educational and research aims over the years. We are standing with you in solidarity, as one conservation community. October 2025.

Two apples from Newton's apple tree in his garden. They didn't fall on our heads though.

Really enjoyed visiting Newton's house today at Woolsthorpe Manor. Fascinating stories from the room guides about the house and it's history! Also, apples! Very tasty raw even though they're supposed to be cooking apples #nationaltrust #apples #newton

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

I have been painting our hallway, stairs and landing in magnolia with orange feature walls. I've done 3 coats so far and it's finally almost covered over the dark red that was there before!

Took the cats for their annual vet check and vaccination today. They were unimpressed, we had quite a cats chorus going in the car! Still important to get it done #vet #caturday

Reform is the political mouthpiece for big oil and corporate profit.

Neither Andrea Jenkyns nor her party grasp basic climate science. It's not a surprise when they've taken Β£2.3 million from fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, & major polluters since 2019
