I look at my mum’s old house on Google maps street view, the house where I grew up. It says ‘Image captured May 2009’. There is a light on in her bedroom. It is still her house, she is still alive, I am still visiting every few months on the train to Bodmin Parkway,

Growing roses from cuttings is the best thing I've learned from Monty #gardenersworld @GWandShows

@darciebean I just said that to my sister and sang the tune!😆😆😆

So Ian and Faith are calling the baby Pearl. Pearl Dean. Like the old cinema advertising thing?! IYKYK #casualty

Tremendous tulips at @RHSWisley

@Ryanmariebach78 'You have to remember...' usually followed by some weird and/or historical fact that I didn't know in the first place and so am patently unable to remember. Also, anything containing 'pivot'. We used to change our minds, or try something new. Now everything is a pivot!

What's a common phrase that annoys you? "To be clear"

@KeithLeggett62 (Of course I may have read that completely wrongly and it's none of my business anyway - in which case apologies, ignore me!)

@KeithLeggett62 Maybe this is more useful Keith - not sure they got the sarcasm!

Tell me @LloydsBank, How is my 92 year old neighbour supposed to bank the cheque from DVLA for his late wife’s car tax You’ve closed the branch in Peterlee Your Banking hub won’t take it He does not have Internet OR a smart phone I’m open to suggestions…

A fragile ceasefire brings an Epilogue to 'Spring Journal'...almond blossom and giant rabbits.

Thinking about visiting Exmoor? 'Memories from the Future' might just be the book to guide you around the area and through its history. It's available online and from @ExmoorNP's shops in Dulverton, Dunster and Lynmouth. YOUR EXMOOR is waiting for you!

This new talk is generating a lot of interest – telling the story of a different front line during WWI. Its first airing is in May and is suitable for any group.

Final Day of Spring Journal in the Gulf. Plastic bags and sprinklers.

@young_liz Me too - and I still have a cheque book!

#vss365 Remember cheque books? Giving birthday money didn't involve asking for their bank details, which spoils the surprise. And they could #endorse the back to get the corner shop to cash it. Yes. I'm that old!

Day 13 of Spring Journal in the Gulf. Kingfishers and thud counts.

@young_liz 😢

#vss365 As I live through my eighties Approaching my own end, The veil is slowly thinning That #divides me from dead friends.

@helenmwalters As, no doubt, you were too 😊

It's been a busy and tiring few weeks, so Lily and I decided to have a little lie down this morning. I read a book, and Lily practised being impossibly cute.

Excited to already be planning a new talk for next year – covering topics in Somerset, Dorset and Devon. #Genealogy #Postcards

@helen_laycock @PoetryRough Congratulations!

It was a very last-minute decision to send in a poem for the @PoetryRough #Poetry Prize. I didn’t win, but it was a lovely surprise to hear that my poem was shortlisted and will be published in a pamphlet. 🥰 So sub those poems… You just never know! Congratulations, winners!

@authorgabrielle She'd give Paddington a run for his money!

Have discovered that our garden visitor answers to Molly. Purrfector of the thousand-yard stare. #Caturday

@richardosman NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from #HouseOfGames after 9 amazing years. It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it's time to hand over the keys to a new host. There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I'll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.
