Showing off the pearly whites… 🐕 🐾

It’ll soon be time for the hi-vis and a torch when walking Ralph 🌒

That’s that job done 🕰️ Now for bed 🛌 N’night all 😴

Autumnal walkies before sitting in front of the fire watching Strictly 🍂

I caved. Tonight’s cold enough for it, and Ralph’s over the moon! 🔥

Happy little Ralph on his woodland walkies 🐾

Picked from the rainy garden to brighten the day 🌧️ 💐

Reading this was like being reunited with friends. When I get old, I want to move to Cooper’s Chase and hopefully Elizabeth will recruit me to the Thursday Murder Club. Tough subject matters again at times, but humour too. 5 ⭐

I made tomato soup. It’s yellow but so were my tomatoes 🤣

Obligatory powers restored post… 💇🏻‍♂️ 💈 ✂️

If I put home grown veg into it, it’s healthy, right? 👀 🪴 🍰

Ketchup made from a glut of tomatoes picked from the garden… still another 1.5kg to use up! 🍅 🪴

Post you from a different era. The twink years

WTF, Alan?! #Traitors #TheTraitors

When the pizza van is outside the village hall, it would be rude not to, right?! 🍕 😋

📖 The Two Roberts, Damian Barr: a moving novel that brings the forgotten lives of Scottish artists Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun vividly back into the spotlight. Their love for art and for each other shines through as they face hardship, war, and the dangers of being gay.

Post-work Ralph walkies around the Holkham estate.

Oops. Let loose in the kitchen again… 🍰

Relentless rain and I’ve just told the dishwasher to fu*k off. How’s your Friday evening? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Oh no! Rest well, Dame Patricia. #PatriciaRoutledge

The garden is still providing some pretties for the house 💐

In the room where it happens… #Hamilton

This guy is just a scumbag.

Good morning and happy Monday folks 🍂

I had fish and chips in the 1950s today, bought some sweets in the 1900s, and had a cup of tea on a wartime farm. Beamish is great!

“I were puttin on me mousse thas why I’m late…” Haircut done. 💇🏻‍♂️ 💈 ✂️

Picked from the garden, washed, cooked, and eaten all in the same night 😋 🌽

It’s blowing a hoolie! Managed to avoid the worst of the showers when walking Ralph. Autumn has arrived. 🍂 🌬️

Beauts from the garden 💐

Some people say I look like my da #totp

Are they a required 2m apart? Or is it the frosty atmosphere as Geri was leaving? #TOTP

I sent a message through the internet but it was rejected. 🙅🏻‍♂️ #TOTP

My dear ol’ Nan loved Dance The Night Away. I’m smiling thinking of her now. #TOTP

Teddy bear sunflowers are late this year but beautiful now they’re in bloom 🌻

A cosy read, Way Back by Sara Cox is full of warmth and familiar charm - if you listen to her on the radio, you’ll read it in her voice. Sometimes predictable and a bit slow, but it’s like comfort TV in book form. Easy, nostalgic. 3.5 stars. 📖
