My memoir, A Mind Of My Own is now available in paperback which means it’s cheaper. Hurrah! If you’d like a dedicated copy repost this and I’ll do a random pick of five winners in the next couple of days. If you’ve already bought/read or listened to the audible version thank you! ♥️📚

A reminder of what Nigel Farage said following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer.

Not my finest quality bird photograph, but kingfishers are about 16 cm long with a 25 cm wingspan, and fly at about 20mph, so catching one at all is a thrill. At the river this morning.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Just under 7 hours of the sale left and I’ve added four more designs! Such discount! Many bargains! #art #merch

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

If you check out the #buyastrangerabook hashtag and you live in the UK, you'll see about 10 unclaimed offers. People are offering to buy people books, but nobody is asking. It's not tricky to do. Essentially, people are being lovely. So check out the hashtag, stop being a doof, and just ask!

£204 from my target. Yes, £2000 is a arbitrary goal. But still, we're talking about £204 worth of hospice care for people going through hell. So please give if you can. Plus, the more you give the faster I'll run, that's just science. www.justgiving.com/page/richard...

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo: “weak on crime” “terrible for foreign policy” “catering to the Radical Left” “owes his position to me” “sit down and mind your own business” POPE LEO, unbothered: “We are called to love.”

I’m incredibly jealous of the runners now tapering for the London Marathon. Rather than dwell on it, let me know if you have friends running who need a bit of a boost to their fundraising. I’ll let my PayPal participate instead of me this year.

18-year-old Ukrainian in the UK lost his mum suddenly. His father died some time ago. As an “adult” the state will do nothing for him. The fundraiser aims to help cover his living costs so he can focus on his studies and rebuild his life. If you can, please donate and/or share. gofund.me/5c9624ba9

This Sunday is Mothering Sunday! If your mother's no longer around it can be hard. I will as usual be reading out the names of our Remembered Mums/Mams/Moms from halfway up this beauty - the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. If you'd like me to read out your Mum's name, PLEASE reply with #Mums26 ❤️ 👑

Native British Animals you say?

Greetings from Kyiv. I will never tire of praising its beauty. March 1. We made it. We survived this winter.

NYE suggestion: In memory of the great and beloved Rob Reiner (and his wife Michele, his meeting of whom forced him to change the end of the movie) we're watching When Harry Met Sally this evening, starting the film at 10:30:27 so that the chime of the New Year bells line up exactly with tonight's.

'Twas the night before Christmas when all thro' the house, people were looking for the bastard scissors and calling the sellotape a sticky faced twat.

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...
