@benfenton.bsky.social Hi Ben Back in 1992 during your phone call to me I remember doodling this untidy sketch …..i have no idea why I did it? The next time I saw your name was when you were the Washington correspondent and I read one of your reports in the Telegraph 2001 believe that to be correct

First week of March in lovely sunshine, enjoy your evening 🤩🌼

A short walk in fabulous sunshine…..that’ll do me 🙏🏼🫶

Some daffodils and snowdrops in my garden and a few in my family churchyard where lots of my family are buried it was also the church I married 50yrs ago 🙏🏼

Nice walk this afternoon in most welcome sunshine ☀️

This weather is completely crazy Saturday was fabulous and sunny ☀️ while today we are back with soaking wet weather ☔️
