Earlier in the week we were in Cangas del Narcea, Spain. Walking across this suspension bridge was an interesting experience. I intended taking a photo halfway along but the wobbly motion was very disconcerting so I had to just keep going until I got to solid ground.

In the nick of time for the celebratory weekend in the 🇺🇸, here's "Trumpy Doodle" - our 250th anniversary version of "Yankee Doodle" that you can also download as a song on Bandcamp! youtu.be/EnZY_08vnHc #nokings #america250 🎶🚫👑✊

July just won't be the same without the ITV coverage of #tdf but it's still possible to get Ned's thoughts on it. 🚴‍♂️ #cycling

On Inner Farne yesterday, being admonished by a slightly annoyed Arctic tern. 📷Mrs Raw.

Update: it kept it up at this rate for over an hour. I hope no-one got flooded 😕. Gentle rain now with plenty of thunder and lightning.

Spent most of the afternoon in the air-conditioned hotel room as it was too hot and sunny to go out. Weather now...

I'm being a bit unfair saying #badbathroom as it's a lovely bathroom in a lovely hotel. But, why did they feel the need to put a light switch IN the shower!?! (There was a perfectly good light switch outside the bathroom door where you'd expect it to be) 🤷‍♀️ #holidayfun

Well, I'm off. My last #TheArchers live post-along for a bit as I'm going away and will then take a while to catch up.

Just finished watching Tip Toe & fighting back the tears. Essential tv.

Dear BBC. If they haven't got placards they're not protestors, they're rioters. Please adjust your hyperbole accordingly.

Stop calling body parts after things that make us hate our naturally aging bodies. I'm not a fucking turkey. "Bingo wings" "Muffin tops" "Apron belly". Fuck you with the 💸💸💸 cure. If you want to pedal creams, lotions, exercises, fine. But stop giving cruel names to normal body parts you fuckers.

Jack, a bully? Surely not! #TheArchers

Helen, LEAVE TRACEY ALONE! #TheArchers

How fantastic is this drawing of our Iron Age enclosure? 😍 One of our Experimentalists has drawn the roundhouse village with exceptional detail. We love seeing how our beautiful ancient farm captures the imagination of creative observers. Hand-drawn by a very talented human - magnificent! ✨

If Pip is so keen on a church wedding and a sibling for Rosie, perhaps she should have proposed to Toby instead of Stella 🤷‍♀️. #TheArchers

Nooooo! More expense and there are still plenty of people, like my Dad, who simply don't want broadband.

Ooh, Stella was not envisioning more children. And certainly not having to get pregnant herself to keep Rosie happy, if Pip has the gene! #TheArchers

This is a fascinating and extremely worrying. We can no longer trust the evidence of our own eyes. (OSINT = Open-Source Intelligence).

Poor Tracey. Helen's going to be using that wheedling voice to her at work and home from now on isn't she? "Me can't make new cheesy widout ooo." "Me can't fix dis thing in dis funny little house." #TheArchers

I don't want to hear Adam flushing out his nozzle on a Sunday! (Or any day tbh). #TheArchers

Typical Helen, not mentioning anything at the family farm than cheese, cheese, cheese. #TheArchers

YES! This EVERYWHERE!

Who'd have guessed that the place that brought us ecoli yoghurt and the poo-nami would be a toxic workplace. #TheArchers

Is it me or is Helen's voice sounding a lot like Pat's? #TheArchers

Groups posting on 'X' now after what Musk has done to it are like those writing in Der Stürmer in the 1930s and pretending not to notice what was in the headlines. The government must use other platforms and the BBC should stop posting on this cesspool of a site. #bbcpm

Bridge Farm are really good at coming up with business ideas that are actually quite saturated markets. #TheArchers

"I remember asking my players... what they thought their England was - what's mine, what's yours & what we want it to be. And I suppose I wanted mine to be one of hope & kindness, of progress over time." #DearEngland Hope, kindness & progress over time should be a motto for us all to live by.

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

Ed wants to put a sheep on an alter! #TheArchers

Farage trampled on the wishes of Henry Nowak's loving family and ignored the statements by Sikh community leaders. Farage deserves contempt not the spotlight given to him by a craven media.

Isn't a bubble wrap greenhouse a bit like a polytunnel? Adam's probably the only person who would fancy a date at Tom's eatery. #TheArchers

Did Martyn ask Ian if he'd got a bee somewhere? #TheArchers

Your regular reminder that PoliticsUK is a fake account owned by a Reform councillor Bailey Nash-Gardner who also works for Reform MP Andrew Rosindell. ***Stop following and sharing their stuff***

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Adam is invoking the Sanity Clause (you know the rest) #TheArchers

Today is National Biscuit Day so here’s a list of ten biscuity musical artists to listen to… 1. Bourbon Jovi 2. Florentina Turner 3. Fleetwood Macaroons 4. HobNob Dylan 5. Viscounting Crows 6. TimTammy Wynette 7. Garibaldi Barlow 8. Oreo Speedwagon 9. Lionel Rich Tea 10. Jaffas on Airplane

😂

Every time this particular analysis comes up, I'm reminded of the skit on Benny Hill when he said, "The audience is broken down by age and sex." #TheArchers

The greedy old men leading multiple governments are going to kill us all apnews.com/article/clim...

Ian: Adam, do you remember when you got really pissed-off because Brian kept turning up when you were at work at Bridge Farm? Well, do you? 😡👨‍🍳😡 #TheArchers

the world needs more guinea pig cartographers

Today. Took a short ride into Norwich just to get out of the house. Met my neighbor Tortoro, as you do. Also came across another Vespa similar in colour to mine, but in matte paint.

Yeah, Bert's gone 🎉. #TheArchers

Tom IS the spanner in the works, isn't he? #TheArchers

Move cancelled. Nice #alfresco lunch at the #bistroset . I'm now back inside though, as it's too bloomin' hot! #TheArchers

For those who would rather be in a darkened room on a hot, sunny day, I see that BBC2 is showing What's Up, Doc? at 12.45pm followed by Some Like It Hot at 2.15pm this afternoon.

I've been ranting about this for MONTHS Every single penny that's stolen by AI is a penny that ends up in a tech bro's offshore account instead of circulating in the local economy We are simply not ready for what's coming by that money being funnelled upwards instead of staying in our pockets
