Early dog-walking in the mud before a long journey this morning but what a reward! #northyorkshire

Jaffa is playing a little Chopin and telling us it’s his teatime 😻 #cats #piano

To the fabulous, super-helpful (staff in @marksandspencer ladies wear (coats) #MetroCentre #Gateshead yesterday - ❤️❤️❤️- you were absolutely lovely (and I’m thrilled with my purchases) - thank you! #greatservice #retail #clothes #MarksAndSpencer

Double bed but keeping strictly to sides 🤣 #cats #dogs #labradors #catsanddogs

Here we are tonight being sad (but happy) old rockers at @Forummusic in #Darlington seeing Dave Acari - Great venue and good music.

Finally completed painting my office - what a never-ending, horrible, messy ordeal - sandwiched between other projects. Now have massive respect for professional painters. Next to put it all back together. Sod the paintbrush cleaning! Next time I’ll be getting a man in 🤣

50 years on! Eeeek! How did that happen? A spot of culture at the Edinburgh Fringe today with a dear friend from school days and beyond 🎭🎭

An unexpected but lovely weekend in the #YorkshireDales #Middleham #WittonFell

Small grandsons staying on their own with me this week. Lots of noisy, shouty outdoor fun, gymnastics and puzzles.

Continuing my grim, marathon journey which has involved 4 different trains, a bus and missed connections from #Hereford to #Darlington we now seem to be stopped in the middle of a field #railways #strikes

Next time I will drive to Devon/Hereford and back! Missed my connection from Birmingham as my ‘replacement bus’ from Hereford to Worcester was too slow. Train from Birmingham so busy standing room only. Now we’ve all been ordered off to get on another equally crowded train!

I’m currently on a hideous ‘rail replacement’ bus from Hereford to Worcester and it looks like I’m about to miss my connection from Birmingham 😱😱#railways #strikes Nice one 👿

There are big, noisy, messy #seagulls everywhere in #Hereford, which is miles away from the sea. Why is that?

I’m off on a ‘tour of the big sisters’ this week. Can’t wait to see them both for lots of laughing and hilarity. A round trip from #Darlington to #Exeter St David’s, then to Bristol #Hereford, Birmingham and then home to #MiddletonTyas again. Hope my #garden is watered! #sisters

Thank you #Palma, Mallorca, for cancelling out the trauma of the Namib Desert last year #PalmaDeMallorca

And we’re off! Palma here we come!
