@bbcpaddy you such an influencer ~ rather torn between Michael Bond and A.A.Milne we went for @fitzbillies’ honey - breakfast in the Outer Hebrides #bbcradio4

@bbcpaddy @CarolineLucas we live with bats they are rather smelly

@CalMac_Updates can you check messages pls. Accident A9 Uist doctor and ferry

@KirstieMAllsopp We live in a risk adverse society exacerbated by some who ‘seem’ to delight in blame culture. Luke 6:37 Individual differences mean that one size may not fit all. Social services, of course, are simply doing a job. Be strong, Kirsty.

@BBCr4today BLAME #blamecultute @Emmabarnett Small wonder GP recruitment is dire.High patient expectation and blame culture. Younger GPs are risk adverse with good reason, but where does this leave secondary care? The NHS is running on empty already.

Lovely new book @SueHLawrence spied @ Taigh Chearsabhagh ( spookily next to The FKHandbook, Sue) and a seaweed recipe. Brilliant work, Sue @BirlinnBooks 👏👏👏

Loving @BBCTheArchers #foraging Meadowsweet is plentiful in @isleofsouthuist ditches Recipes in my book

@Marthakearney thank you.

@BBCOutofDoors Housing is a big problem for those providing a service in the Outer Hebrides. When the sisters sold a convent we were renting, South Uist’s doctor was homeless until a lovely patient allowed us to rent her holiday let. Years later we remain grateful #tourism

@NicolaSturgeon #avidreader my lovely ID doctor daughter sat behind you on a plane today. Had it been me I would have suggested you read @cloverstroud’s latest memoir 📗#home Bluebells are part of my 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿in May and go Eassie #angus asparagus too #scotlandinmay

Oh @HelenNeedham’s dulcet tones @BBCOutofDoors 👏

Seriously @CalMacFerries I read about it before you contact me and as for the last cancellation you didn’t even contact me just shifted my ferry and I had to telephone ( on hold for a long time) to find that one out Beyond annoying @Robbie_Calmac I have work to do on Uist

@GdnScotland @severincarrell Aw but try to attend a Saturday function on mainland Scotland without taking the Friday and possibly the Monday too, as annual leave. Ghastly infrastruture @FlyLoganair over to you for comment. Sort out the Benbecula - Glasgow weekend flight schedules.

Record £150k salaries offered to solve GP shortage in Outer Hebrides - @severincarrell reports 👇theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…

What a heartlifting item @BBCRadio4 #bh @bbcpaddy Thank you Monty Don. The Candlemas Bell or the Snowdrop is said to rear her head on Candlemas Day ( Feb 2nd) but here, in Angus, they have been in flower for two weeks.

@neilbuttery Busy taking decorations down. Here are some Candlemas bells for you

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Candlemas everyone! Did you get any nice Candlemas from Father Candlemas this year? And what are you having for Candlemas dinner?

@BBCOutofDoors I took my Christmas decorations down yesterday on the christian celebration of #Candlemas. The snowdrop in purest white array, first rears her head on Candlemas day It is the midwinter point between the shortest day and the spring equinox. Similar to #imbloc

@SheilaDillon @BBCFoodProg @julielincooks Great programme, Sheila. Always keen to ring the seaweed changes, we lunched on haggis, tatties and dulse enhanced ratatouille. Verdict haggis and 🍅beats neeps. Moister😀

Getting a bit forwards for our celebration of #burnsnight The man + the food & drink traditions celebrating his memory as Scotland’s bard. We all thank him for his appreciation of haggis—Great chieftain o the puddin race— & whisky. @BBCFoodProg @julielincooks

@wesstreeting the Prime Minister is a Wykehamist. I wonder if parents from a similar background to his will be able to afford to pay VAT on school fees. I suspect not and so those using private schools will turn to the state. Your Maths is flawed.

@somhthings @BBCWomansHour Here you go. amp.theguardian.com/books/2009/sep…
