@emmajolly Thank you Emma

@clematis1961 Beautiful! Love the variety. All the best for your mobility issues. Hope you’re up and about soon.

Sunny stroll through St Mary’s Quad to the Bell Pettigrew Museum. Small but packed with curiosities: Prof James Bell Pettigrew (St Andrews, 1875–1905) studied heart motion + proposed figure-of-8 movement in animals, even building a flapping-wing flying machine near South Street.

@emmajolly Absolutely, I am being treated for some mobility issues at the moment so cannot go to view gardens such as Hampton Court. So, I have brought it to my garden!

@clematis1961 Thanks, Nick. Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine!

@GFoxyFowler It’s great to be reminded of a great talent that you were foxy. Please keep it coming

I’m going to bed now. It’s tired being a has been.

@Mike_Batt Didn’t they use to say ‘Less is more’?

The CDs have arrived! We decided it was best just to put the 37 minute symphony on it, knowing that people often expect longer on CD, but it’s a perfect vinyl length. We felt other pieces would distract from the main event. Who thinks we should have included extra tracks?

@GFoxyFowler That really brings back memories

Look what I found in the garage!

@ChrisLangWriter Incredible

Oh my lord, this is SOOOOOOO good.

@donnasr @FamHistoryShow Looking forward to it Donna

@jackrussellart @SpursOfficial @EnglandFootball Thank you. Just remember him weaving in and out of the defence before slotting home although not on the scale of Vila. Spurs was my grandfathers team so used to watch and then chat to him that’s why I remember .

@clematis1961 @SpursOfficial @EnglandFootball Reports today said he got 2 in that final

#RIP Martin Chivers @SpursOfficial @EnglandFootball What a player he was!

@DrKarenCummings @AGRAGenealogy I’ve ordered from Amazon . Look forward to receiving & reading it. Hopefully get you to sign it one day

@steveforberttwt Thank you for posting this and other material throughout the year Steve. I loved the original album with the addition of the free single Oil Song. Seen you sing these songs several times in the UK over the decades.

#MusicMonday This live version of “Romeo’s Tune” was recorded with The New Renditions at Stangl Stage in Flemington, NJ on September 12, 2025. The studio version was originally released on the 1979 “Jackrabbit Slim” album. Mastered by Steve Puntolillo

@jackrussellart @GlamCricket @englandcricket So sorry for the loss of your colleague Hugh Morris. I remember watching him play.

Sad to hear of the passing of my old team mate Hugh Morris MBE @GlamCricket @englandcricket One of the games really good guys Will be sadly missed #RIPHugh

@emmajolly Excellent uplifting Winter Solstice shots Emma compared to grey leaden skies and rain here in the South.
