Finished the latest #Pilgrimage programme where they finish in the Holy Island in the north east. I always end up liking the participants more than I thought I would. It's a lovely programme ☺️ 🙏

Today’s Big 45 @greatesthitsuk.bsky.social

Smoky garlic king prawns and chorizo with pasta ... 😋

Lunch 😋 #yum

Favourite Bowie track 💜💜💜

Lasagne's out the oven.... It's orange because I used Leicester cheese ☺️

Lasagne's in the oven ☺️

Watched the film "Sweet Charity" last night. I'd only ever see bits of it before. Had no idea I would know all the songs, and loved the Bob Fosse choreography! "Rhythm Of Life" with Sammy Davis Jr was fabulous 😍 What a force of nature he was ☺️

I've created a Spotify playlist for Jarvis's new 6 Music show. Not all the tracks he played were available but I've grabbed what I could ☺️ 🎶 📻 💜 @tangerinebean.bsky.social open.spotify.com/playlist/1Kx...

There is a new series of Pilgrimage on BBC tonight. These programmes are fascinating and heartwarming, regardless of where you sit spiritually. They've put all the series back on the iPlayer too. The Rome and the Santiago ones are definitely worth a watch ☺️

Strong start for Jarvis's return to 6 Music 💜

Steamed purple sprouting broccoli, air fryer crushed and roast baby potatoes, baked courgette, stir fried leeks, pan fried lamb rump with mint chimmi churri 😋 ...

I had some lovely garden ornaments that light up for my current retirement... Garden is very pretty when it gets dark now ☺️

I love the BBC #Pilgrimage programmes. A new one starts tomorrow. Here's the "cast" ... ☺️

I've already counted three people wearing shorts around the market in town .... It's 8 degrees .... 🤷 Am officially moaning old bag now ... 😂

Chai latte to kill time until haircut 😋

Roger The Handyman (no sniggering at the back please) was doing some gardening for me earlier and gave me a "coffee toppers" set he didn't want. This is a latte with salted caramel syrup, squirty cream & cinnamon powder .... ☺️

Ploughman's lunch 😋

Watched this film this afternoon. Found my way to it whilst reading about the Cottingley Fairies. It's based on that tale. It mixes fantasy and reality very well and has a wonderful cast. Heartwarming ❤️ 🧚‍♀️

Hung my new painting on the bedroom wall .... Looks great ☺️ 🩵

Oh and .... Doorbell went ... Thought it was my food delivery early but no, young man carrying this .. "hello I'm from the local nursery and I have a delivery for Sally". Best friend organised this and never said a word. Love her ❤️

@simonmayo.bsky.social Hello Simon I hope you're well. You probably don't have time to answer this and that's fine. A close friend is going to Denmark soon. What's the name of the bakery you and @kermodemovie.bsky.social often mention please ? ☺️ x

I'm reading "The Story Collector" by Evie Woods and there is a brief mention of the Cottingley Fairies ! I'd forgotten about that lovely story. I know there was a film but I can't find it anywhere to watch ... 🧚‍♀️

Shaun Keaveny standing in for Bob Harris doing Sounds Of The 70s on Radio 2 right now 👍 ☺️ 🎶 📻

Din dins ... Probably done too many spuds .. Anyway, the rump steak was bought from a local butcher. It cost just over a fiver and was delicious, with or without the chimmi churri 😋

Been to a butchers and bakers called Oaklands in the next village. Bought cherry & almond cakes, victoria sandwich slice, pork and Leicester cheese sausage roll and two huge rump steaks. Half the sausage roll warmed with side salad and granary bread for lunch ! 😋

"you and forever" by Bleachers is my Song Of The Week 😊 🎶 #sotw open.spotify.com/track/7faK0e...

Been to my friend's this morning... Love her cat, Harvey... Didn't want me to go 😂 ❤️

Happy Ostara ! I only just discovered this word.... Am so ready for this ☺️ ☀️ 🌸🐇🐝🦋🪺

Day off (again ☺️)... Wanted to check tyre pressure but my machine is broken. Sat outside for a bit. I've had to come in though .. because it's TOO HOT!! 🥵 😂

Kedgeree for lunch .... Garnished with hard boiled eggs with the fluorescent orange yolks 😂 Yum ....
