This may be my only tomato this year. Lettuce is doing better.

With thanks to Sevenoaks Town Council and Sevenoaks Soroptimists for the meeting today to discuss how a town council works. Important for us here in Tunbridge Wells as we have the opportunity to have our say on whether we would like an elected parish or town council in the near future

After the rain, it was great to do some weeding, planting and picking. In my #tunbridgewells #garden .

Good evening from my mad #tunbridgewells garden. The plants are taller than myself. A smaller wilderness than other gardens in the south east.

Anyone else have #flyingants today in #tunbridgewells ?

Honoured to be able to contribute some of the history of the first female mayor Muriel Bury Wells #herstory #tunbridgewells Borough Council for Royal Tunbridge Wells Civic Society publication.

That was fun #tunbridgewells #janeausten @lucyworsley.bsky.social

May Day dancing. Always have to bring this postcard out at the beginning of May. By #tunbridgewells photographer Jenkins. Keep scanning the horizon to try to identify the location. Wonder if it is High Brooms?

Wisteria time #tunbridgewells Never used it as a cut flower before

Deadheading the tulips. They still have a beauty of their own.

This morning's helper in our #tunbridgewells garden.

Not my cat , but happy to join me on my weeding the path mission . Do miss having a cat so am always happy when one comes to visit.

What a revelation yesterday's visit to The Guildhall Art Gallery was. Plan to visit again. Took the free guided tour with City of London guide David Woosnam and experienced the art through his eyes and the group's discussion.

Today we are launching the first in our women’s grassroots activism podcast series, covering women’s organisations in England & Ireland. There’s more episodes to come over the next week or so.

The suffragettes are among those to be honoured with a heritage plaque in Tunbridge Wells. The plaque on their former headquarters in the Pantiles is one of several to be put up by the Civic Society supported by funding from Royal Tunbridge Wells Together. #TunbridgeWells

From my instagram post. Mostly about my #tunbridgewells garden and other stuff. Spiky #candlemass

Today , sunshine in a vase.

I have never been so lonely.

Reading by candlelight. Seems appropriate on such a wet Sunday in #tunbridgewells. Great idea using vintage glasses. Not mine but local business The Old French Mill.

Listening to plainsong, just so beautiful. Contemplating on the past year and thinking about those who left this place we call home.

Yesterday was my husband's birthday, we did what he would have wanted, positive action. We helped plant trees in Tunbridge Wells. A hard day but a good way to come together. #tunbridgewells

The day ended well. Finally, I have met our grandson. My heart is full.

Blown away by the Christmas Tree display King Charles the Martyr Church #tunbridgewells Not going to spoil it so do visit this weekend to admire it in all its splendour. Even our MP has decorated a tree Hint spot Big Ben. This one is from the Oxfam Book Shop Chapel Place.Which is your favourite?

6 Fitzroy Square, home to The Georgian Group events.Hreat doorway and fanlight. #Georgian #London

London never fails to disappoint in its juxtaposition of old & new. Georgian meets 20th Century in the 21st. My strange interests took me to a talk on Georgian cemeteries. It is easy to disconnect from reality when considering graves as aarchitectural monuments. #London #neversleeps #Fitzrovia

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

Finally home for tea and a quiet opportunity to reread a classic #balletshoes

After the day from hell it was a pleasure to cook using my British Veg box from Riverford. Thanks to NHS , Lloyd's Bank insurance, the AA Breakdown and Freeway St John's Road for permitting me to complete some of the tasks presented today.

Pretty #tunbridgewells #Christmas vibes

Had a good day today with Good Housekeeping and Country Living magazines. Lucy Worsley was delightful as ever. Last time we saw and heard her speak, there were 2 of us. Now there is 1. So quietly, I listened intensely, thought of our last experience in Tunbridge Wells.
