The team responsible for bringing ‘The Market Deeping Model Railway Club’ to @NottmPlayhouse deserve all the plaudits that have been coming down the track their way. Funny and emotional, the story is delivered exceptionally well by the ensemble cast. Nicely done.

You may have seen that Keir Starmer apologised for the forced adoption scandal of the 50s/60s/70s this week. I made an (award winning!) documentary about my own forced adoption and now, with perfect timing, it’s back on Radio 4.
Have a listen.

A smile at a weekend.
Brilliant from @chiwithaC. She has Jenny and Lee nailed on.

There seem to be lots of book stacks & layouts of book choices on tables as recommended reads for 2026 or this month or any other reason. So I thought I'd add to the recommended book stack with 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', published last week. #books

Thank you @Countrylifemag for the lovely review of 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', which launched last week, describing it as a 'gentle book'. Just right for reading by the fire on a winter's evening. #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds #naturewriting #slowtravel
As many have said, what a great story!
What a great story!!! 😃🚘
In 1966, 22-year-old Kathleen bought a VW Beetle she named “Annie.”
57 years and 400k miles later, Kathleen (now 78) still drives her to work every day.
When VW heard her story, they fully restored Annie for free.
When Kathleen saw her again, she said, “She’s my family. She’s just old, not useless.”

Ahem, is this an AI-produced article? Surely no-one plans a visit without checking maps and various sources to verify details, especially in remote areas. The perils of letting AI plan your next trip bbc.com/travel/article/20250… via @bbc_travel
The Gloria Funicular in Lisbon in June this year. The cars balance each other, so seeing the footage showing one car right at the lower end of the short line suggests the other car, which crashed, possibly came adrift when it was nearing the top. #lisbon

Many thanks to Sarah-Jayne @BlenheimPalace for a show-round of the magnificent, and recently opened, ‘Rooftop View’. Seeing the rooftop sculptures and architecture up close was a memorable experience, and very well worth searching out.
