I told mum I had thought up a new way to feed some of the ewes. She told me it wouldn’t work, at 7.30 this morning it turns out she was right ... South Shropshire life.

Don't tell anyone, but I think my cats might be hatching a Jacobite plot

Poor little Spoon, you are still over-grooming due to your dust mite allergy; you have a bare little patch under your foreleg and I have to prevent that becoming worse; as a result, I am sorry that you have to wear this baby-gro type outfit; I am further sorry that for reasons of perspective your tail looks weirdly huge in this photo; you are not having much of a day, are you, much-loved little Spoon?

I do hope people appreciate the joke! For my new book (partly reflecting on a career in Classics, partly asking 'WHY study the deep past?', 'What do we get out of it?'), I chose an 'author photo' taken by my friend Di, 50+ years ago. Book details: tinyurl.com/5d3yx3bh

Oh little Spoon. I haven’t been on here for a bit and I felt that sudden pang to check in on Little Spoon - look at him. He’s the best little character. My mum and sister aren’t on twitter and they love him ❤️❤️❤️🏰

I'm sorry, little Spoon; the vet said that you had to wear this blue cone for the next few days until the small wound on your belly heals up; the other cats are all hissing at you & I suspect you're quite cross at me right now; at least the cone shows off your dear little whiskers very well, much-loved convalescent Spoon

Immunotherapy update: long-time Spoon enthusiasts will remember, perhaps, that there was a point where little Spoon had no fur on his belly, and very little on his legs, due to over-grooming related to a dust mite allergy. After about 10 weeks of immunotherapy, isn't he looking velvety? Happy Spoon!

I think I may have worked out why the hens were a tiny bit reluctant to go into their house this evening

Good morning, little Spoon. Some of your online admirers, of whom you are possibly unaware, wonder about the progress of your immunotherapy, intended to sort out your dust mite allergy. Happily, two months on, it seems to be a success, with much less over-grooming. Thrive, much-loved little Spoon!

He’s so enigmatic … little Spoon I came for my twice weekly check to see what you’re upto. Quite honestly the only reason I’m still looking at Twitter is to see @fugitiveink posts and little Spoon xxx

Good morning, little Spoon; I see you are communing with two old pictures and also Luna the cat; it is a rainy day, little Spoon, and the wind is very wild outside the windows; I will leave you to your own mysterious purposes, enigmatic little Spoon

Delighted to have the chance to chat to Dan Snow all about the Battle of Bosworth - how and why it happened, and how much we know about that day. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9osqG…

Good afternoon, little Spoon; sometimes I wonder whether you sit on that seat under the window because you know it sets off your ears and whiskers to delightful effect; it is hard to know what you are thinking about at the best of times, luminous little Spoon
