@WandaOpalinska I’ve never been much good at Twitter and I’m not sure I’m any better at Bluesky.But I definitely prefer it over there. Yes, it was a bit of a surprise to be left alone. I said to the MW -I wrote it, I can tell you what happens. She wasn’t having any of it.She wanted to be there!

@WandaOpalinska am also on Bluesky. See you there?

I wrote her marriage to Jack Woolley. The ep went out the night I gave birth to my first child.The midwife left me to my labour so she could listen to the wedding.Peggy was such a very loved character & June played her brilliantly. A legend #thearchers theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
