@jimmycricketcomic.bsky.social what have you got coming up? Had some great nights watching you.

Lyme park today. They were letting visitors dress up. These were Japanese tourists. We caught up with them later and airdropped the picture to them. They were delighted.

No shame in that result @reecedinsdale.bsky.social Must admit with one son that liked REM and the other Beautiful South my only visit to the then McAlpine stadium was in July 1995 for a memorable concert with both.

@stephenfry.bsky.social bit late to the show but enjoying “Kingdom”, thank you.

Moved to this to get away from the hate and vitriol on the other place. Seems almost just as bad now, shame.

@ducesha.bsky.social watching a Play for Today with you, Francis De la Tour and Bernard Hill. Good Tele!

Evening visitor

An answer and question thing about work that I did for the British Comedy Guide. www.comedy.co.uk/pro/features...

@ronaldlaceyfans.bsky.social amazing how often he pops up. In The Avengers s05e15 on GreatTV (ch50) now with Diana Rigg

What a great first half. My history is Man City, Kippax St, 1964-1974 so much resonates from then. Brilliant @reecedinsdale.bsky.social Shobna Gulati & cast

Can almost see the theatre from our hotel room @reecedinsdale.bsky.social looking forward to tonight.

Can you believe it? We have reached episode 500 of My Time Capsule. And to celebrate we have a very special guest. The lovely Josh Widdicombe! Listen here pod.fo/e/2e66d8

The end of a fabulous week of rehearsals for #ThroughItAllTogether @LeedsPlayhouse A team of hugely creative people working their collective nads off to bring you their best work possible. A week out from our first public performance. 🤞 Exciting!

Had a Quick Look over on Twitter (X) I realise some of you need to network and use it for that, but what an evil, prejudiced and dangerous forum it is now. Much nastier than when I left.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social did you know the box office was shut on Monday, we do, now 😂

Freeview ch 92 Rewind is showing ‘Haggard’ @reecedinsdale.bsky.social

I'm waiting for the video of Robert Jenrick chasing tax dodgers - including his former cabinet colleagues - and asking them if they think it's right not pay. But it doesn't seem to have been posted yet.

Guess which MP has received £224,575 from people + companies linked to the private health sector between Jan 2023- March 2025? Wes Streeting, our Health Secretary.🚨 We think these donations should be BANNED! If you agree, please click here to sign! bit.ly/HealthNotWea...

@paulsinha.bsky.social I'd love it if you'd be a guest on my long running podcast, My Time Capsule, Paul? Nearly 500 episodes so far with lots of people you'll know. It's fun, I promise. Five things from any time in your life you'd like to have in a time capsule? That's it! Hope you find the time? x

Sold! One of the latest paintings from a series inspired by my travel sketchbooks including Malta, Spain, Portugal, Italy and closer to home in Liverpool & Chester. Browse the rest before they all go. www.juliecolclough.com (Please message if making a special trip to our studio gallery)

We have been busy in the gallery meeting customers from near and far. This original painting is one of many recent sales but if you missed it, we have a small edition of limited edition prints available. Browse the rest of our Chester collection plus of course many more from our travels.

Missed it first time around, ‘Showstoppers’, on iPlayer with the lovely Gary Wilmot is delightful. Title made me think @ruthbratt.bsky.social may have been in it, sadly not. Gary has a great episode on @fentonstevens.bsky.social ‘My Time Capsule’

The delightful comedian and voice artist, @LizGuterbock, is my guest on My Time Capsule with the five things from her life she'd want in a time capsule? Guest number 490! Listen to this funny and very engaging performer, here pod.fo/e/2d2bb5

Great night at the theatre. David Hayman as lead. What a great story!

Yes, it's our 5th birthday! And to celebrate my son, who's also my producer, and I have made a special episode of five things from all the episodes of My Time Capsule we'd choose to have in their very own time capsule. Well, five each. Listen here pod.fo/e/2cc854 Cake anyone? 🎂

Somerset, sunset.

A very enjoyable morning sketching on the Shropshire Union canal near Telford’s Warehouse with Chester Urban Sketchers. Scroll to see my initial pen sketch (0.5 unipen fineliner) before I added watercolour. #telfordswarehouse #chester #urbansketchers #chesteruk @urbansketchers.bsky.social

This is magnificent. Spreading the word.

TweedleDum, TweedleDee, and, Me (I’m the one in the middle)

@hildabaker.bsky.social just heard my new favourite malapropism on Nearest and Dearest “candlebrassiere” for candelabra, thank you for keeping her memory.

It’s been a gloriously sunny week in Chester! Take time to explore The Rows where you will find us and many more quirky independent shops in the heart of historic Chester. Galleries, antique shops, coffee shops and much more - is there a more perfect way to spend an afternoon? #artgallery #chester

My fantastically entertaining guest, Pippa Evans, chooses five very intimate things from her life to have in a time capsule on My Time Capsule. For a lovely hour, listen to the star of @TheShowstoppers and writer of the musical, Now That's What I Call A Musical, touring now, here pod.fo/e/2b84a4

Don’t often walk on my own. Today was a delight.

The multi-talented actor and improviser, @ruthbratt.bsky.social is my lovely guest on My Time Capsule. There aren't many people who are lucky enough to be happy with 'work' as the thing they treasure and would choose to have in a time capsule. Ruth is one of them! Available pod.fo/e/2b5ab5

The Cobb, Lyme Regis NOT Meryl Streep (Scene from the French Lieutenants woman was filmed here)

Urmston Beach today

Happy #worldbookday memories of my son Joe in my 1st picture book Jungle Joe. Published in the 1990s, this was a milestone for me as it was the first book where I was both author & illustrator. Inspired by Chester Zoo, I didn’t imagine it would be published as far away as Australia. Happy Days.

In celebration of #CheshireDay (March 30), this month’s Cheshire Life magazine features a selection of my paintings which capture different views of our county including Alderley Edge, Mollington and Chester. Browse many more at the Julie Colclough Gallery, Watergate Row, #Chester
