Born two days after Mum, remembering Dad, who would have been 101 today.

Remembering Mum on what would have been her 101st birthday. 🥰

A sore back and ankle from my run on Sunday, combined with a sore arm from my flu jab today, so I'm not running tonight. They'll all get better and I'm grateful to have had the vaccination.

*awkward cough* New reduction print now available, should you have any interest at all in that sort of thing...

A very powerful statement. Rest well, Dr Jane Goodall, you surely deserve it.

What a great morning on the Breakfast Run 10k with Devizes FIT! We ran along the towpath from Semington to the Lock Inn Cafe at Bradford on Avon. Beautiful weather, great company and a cooked breakfast at the end.

Wonderful news, congratulations and the best of luck to Dame Sarah in what will be a very challenging role.

What a delight she was, with a wonderful voice. Rest in peace, Dame Patricia Routledge and thank you for the joy your brought to us during your 96 years. #PatriciaRoutledge

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

The beech hedge has been cut, it's looking very smart.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Rest in Peace, Jane Goodall 🙏🏻

There's a lot of quotes on Radio 2 from people asking why they should fund child benefit for other people's children. One day, that child might be the doctor, firefighter or police officer, that saves your life. Or maybe just someone who is kind to you when you are hurt or upset.

She should be in prison. Making money out of death and other people’s suffering is an abominable crime! But make her the first and not the last to be brought to account.

I'm sat on the back doorstep enjoying the evening sunshine and admiring the pots of autumn and winter colour.

It's tough having to work somewhere with views like this.

I doubt there's thirty seconds worth.

This is incredible and so close to my heart. As a son of a parent who took her own life there’s nothing worse than not knowing somethings wrong until it’s too late. The pain left behind is unbearable as with a natural death you can deal with the pain but not this way. Please speak up if you need to

Shocked and saddened to hear of the death of John Stapleton. He was a guest on @moversand.bsky.social back in February and was both inspiring and amusing about his Parkinson’s diagnosis and his long career in journalism open.substack.com/pub/rorycell...

Parkrun this morning, the first one with Max since Christmas Day; he has a rare Saturday off. For the first time in months I was able to run the whole distance, no walking breaks. I'm happy with that. 😊 #parkrun

"I asked that he not be there. He wanted to be there, as I understand, I didn't want him." No.10 should refute this if it's not true. We need to stand up to bullies and liars. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We're recruiting a new Head of Comms and Fundraising. Join us in Wiltshire and help shape the future of our lovely charity. www.alzheimerswiltshire.org.uk/head-of-comm... #commsjobs #charityjob

If any US president deserved the honour of a second state visit, it was this one. #BarackObama

We saw three herons whilst running along the towpath this evening. This is the third.

It's worth coming to the Proms in the Corn Exchange this afternoon for Jeff's beard alone!

This afternoon at 2pm in the Corn Exchange, Devizes, it's Proms (Not) in the Park! Bring a picnic and come along and join in the fun, it's still free to attend!

I've been to an afternoon showing of Downton Abbey, The Grand Finale and I loved it. A couple of hours of pure escapism and a much better storyline than the last two films. #DowntonAbbey

A delicious small gift from a friend. I've already eaten half!

That's why we've launched a campaign to balance the BBC: www.libdems.org.uk/bbc

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

This reminded me of Pam Ferris playing Ma Larkin!

Avebury Manor gardens and sculpture exhibition today. All in a day's work. 😊

My 30th Parkrun completed. 😊

Now be fair, I don't do a LOT of self-promotion posts, do I? So bear with me while I tell you that my new 'By the River' linoprint is now available to buy. Limited edition of 10 prints, currently with an early bird price. www.janeduke.com/ourshop/prod...

It was very wet, but great fun taking part with Devizes FIT in the Devizes Carnival last night.

A PB and I finally, officially, cracked the sub 40 minutes! #Parkrun #SlowButOutThere #Running

My view of Gardener's World is being obstructed at the moment. 🙄

The first Devizes FIT Walking Group yesterday evening; 5k around Devizes, guided by Damion, Alan and me. It rained, but we all enjoyed it!

A lovely sight on an evening run along the towpath.

Our first visit to Alex and Steph's and this beautiful walk is five minutes from their home in Winchester. City, what city?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Short thread worth a read 👇👇👇

I have spent the garden centre voucher my sister gave me for my birthday in June. 🥰 #gardening

Decent people abhor racism

The Red Arrows just flew over; if you zoom in, you can see them, they looked much closer with the naked eye. 🥰 #RedArrows

Think I'll read this once a week forever. Patricia Routledge, I love you.

Paddington and Mrs Brown, ready to play in the Children's Prom at 2pm!

Alex built this car from scratch, it has taken blood, sweat, tears and late nights in all weathers. Yesterday it paid him back, he won first in class at Llandow sprint, beating the current championship leader. Proud parents here!

Our lovely Sebring, a real character and much missed. #BlackCatAppretiationDay
