I tweet this every so often just because it is wonderful. I think it's time again.

@Waggetteone Even better - chocolate! 🍊🍫

@jamesmeredithd1 Yum. Hopefully for an orange sponge 😋

Strange how chaos and random mess can sometimes be quite beautiful (this is orange icing).

@deborah_feder @WQXR @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @FriseSally I remember how debilitating long-term pain is from my back problems last year and I do wish you well.

It's now been 11 weeks since I've been in terrible pain!! I'm really getting tired of this!! I hope I get the shot this week, and I hope and pray that it works!! 😥💜🕊🙏🏻 @WQXR @bekibrindle @jamesmeredithd1 @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @FriseSally

@rowenamezzo Oh my goodness I am so glad everything is all right. I have to admit to being wary of candles, beautiful though they are...

Shaky start to Sunday. Woke to the sound of an alarm and loud voices. Fire in one of the two top-floor flats. Apparently someone had left a candle burning and gone out… wonderful firemen had to break down their door to get in. Luckily not too serious…

@Gtilleymatthews You are a bit of a genius.

Hello, it’s a look back at my embroidery, Transcend, for you today. Completely freehand stitched in July 2025. Fingers crossed it’s sends good vibes to my daughter for her ballet exam tomorrow too! I hope you enjoy… 😊🪡🌿🩰 #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

@Benregis1 I twice saw him conduct the music of his friend Leonard Bernstein shortly after his death - 'On The Town' and 'Chichester Psalms'. Both understandably highly emotional occasions.

Many years ago I was at a concert featuring Michael Tilson Thomas. It was memorable, not least because it's the only concert I've ever attended where the performer insisted partway through that the piano should be re-tuned. latimes.com/entertainment-…

@deborah_feder @WQXR @bekibrindle @FriseSally @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @KeitzFrederica Blimey I've never seen a tree that big! There seem to be Days for just about everything but we can never celebrate trees enough, Beethoven even saying he preferred them to men. Not to women though probably, knowing his keenly roaming eye... 😍🎶

Happy #ArborDay!!💜🌳 Richie and a very large tree at Sequoia National Park in 2022!! @WQXR @bekibrindle @FriseSally @jamesmeredithd1 @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @KeitzFrederica

@deborah_feder @WQXR @bekibrindle Oh dear! I do send great sympathy and hopes for relief as soon as possible...

So, now due to a screwup w my dr's office due the way they requested my epidural steroid shot to the ins, I *was* approved, but might have to wait till *May 1st* to get it!!! How long do they expect ne to be in pain!!?? I'm beside myself!!!😥😡 @WQXR @bekibrindle @jamesmeredithd1

@tasminlittle @hannahcfrench @JLloydWebber @2MoorsFestival Thanks for the tips. My current reading, and similarly recommended: 'Nocturnes' by Susan Tomes and 'Japanese Gardens' by Monty Don. 🎶🌸

The 3rd book in a row written by a friend - first @hannahcfrench’s brilliant book on Vivaldi, @JLloydWebber’s fascinating autobiography & now this affectionate & often hilarious book about @2MoorsFestival written by the powerhouse that is Penny Adie. All highly recommended!

@deborah_feder @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @StevenIsserlis @RachPodger @KeitzFrederica @rowenamezzo Happy Earth Day to you. This is my corner of the planet, renewing herself, beautifully...

Bonjour les amis!!💜🌷 Happy #EarthDay!!🌳 Please share a pic here, that you took, for Earth Day!! 🥰💜🌸xoxo @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @jamesmeredithd1 @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @StevenIsserlis @RachPodger @KeitzFrederica @rowenamezzo

@EdelaQuintaine @FriseSally She clearly likes the fine things in life.

@jamesmeredithd1 @FriseSally I just disturbed my pea hen as she was sunning herself in bluebell corner.

@FriseSally That must be quite a sight. I bought a jar of the jelly from Tiptree, but then sadly had to give it away as a last minute Christmas present! I really must replace it, but meanwhile their medlar jelly has been sublime. 😋

@jamesmeredithd1 Our crab apple tree is wonderful. It’s very old and very large. Sadly no-one seems to make the jelly nowadays

@FriseSally It doesn't take much to make a beautiful effect. Meanwhile the apple blossom is getting out and enjoying the sunshine...

@jamesmeredithd1 Thank you, James. This is a simple little plant but glows in its innocence. I just love it.

@deborah_feder @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @StevenIsserlis @RachPodger @rowenamezzo @KeitzFrederica Fantastic!

Hi everyone!!💜 Thank you all for your love & prayers!! My mom is out of surgery & the doctor said she did very well!!! I'm so relieved!!!💜🙏🕊 @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @jamesmeredithd1 @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @StevenIsserlis @RachPodger @rowenamezzo @KeitzFrederica

@RichardBratby It's astonishing that line drawings and a cuddly toy can achieve more than all the CGI cleverness in the world.

The last authentic avatar of Paddington. Subsequent iterations are false and demonic.

@deborah_feder @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @rowenamezzo @KeitzFrederica Best wishes to you both. x

Hi friends!!💜 My mom is going for heart surgery tomorrow!! I'd be so grateful if you could all send your prayers & love for her protection!!💜🙏 @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle @jamesmeredithd1 @mikeirons12 @Glastomichelle @RachPodger @StevenIsserlis @rowenamezzo @KeitzFrederica

@jessicaduchen I long for this view to appear every year and it always takes my breath away.

@jamesmeredithd1 Wonderful!

@FriseSally It must make all the difference to a dog with not much padding of fur to have something comfy to lie on. Katie spent most of her time in later years on my bed in a nest I made for her of pillows and fleece blankets. Happy retirement!

@jamesmeredithd1 When we took Cider dog to the bistro in Mosles I always folded my coat for him to rest on under the table. The floor was cold and very hard, Cider slim and muscular with short fur. He really did appreciate it. He never moved whilst we ate but knew that he would have his treat

All looking gorgeous

@deborah_feder @jethrotull @WQXR @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @CEO_er_musk_x @FriseSally @Glastomichelle I can't find the right socket for the gravy. 😆

@jamesmeredithd1 @jethrotull @WQXR @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @CEO_er_musk_x @FriseSally @Glastomichelle Send some to me through the computer!!

Bonjour!!💜🌸🌞 (sound on!!🎶) @jethrotull @WQXR @bekibrindle @mikeirons12 @CEO_er_musk_x @jamesmeredithd1 @FriseSally @Glastomichelle
