@lynn2wine Ouch, you’re having a rough time it seems. Glad you have such a competent nurse. All the best wishes for a speedy and trouble free recovery and some calmer waters ahead 🐾♥️

Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction. My Murphy is taking good care of me. Osteoarthritis, YOU WILL NOT WIN. I’m punching you in the face (with the other hand) 👊🏼😎💪🏼 *Murphy: I like being a nurse 🧑🏼‍⚕️🍪

@lynn2wine I’m so sorry to learn this Lynn. Having followed your account, I’ve seen glimpses of the joyful, wonderful person she is, and the love she shares with Finn, Seamus and now Murphy shines through. I’m sending you all my love and very best wishes ♥️

Frens, I have news to share. My mom, Murphy’s beloved Grandma, has been diagnosed with ALS. She’s 86 and still so full of life. Her decline is very rapid. The next few weeks will be hard and your love and support will help me navigate this storm. Thank you for being there ❤️

@GMB Healthier school meals sound good. But in Cambridgeshire we plan to bulldoze orchards and BMV farmland for a busway. Any chef knows it starts with ingredients. We import food, destroy pollinator habitats and cut nature-friendly farming. Where’s the joined-up thinking❓🤔

Seeing a film of a much-loved book is always a risk—never more so than my favourite childhood story, The Magic Faraway Tree. But the @BFI preview + Q&A with Pippa Harris, Ben Gregor & Nicola Coughlan was spot on. Truly magical afternoon. Thank you 🌳🍿

@JoannaCannon Fabulous!

Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been? I really have been to London to see the Queen! Can you even believe it, I also met THE KING! The actual King, and he was so lovely and very (very) funny. Not only that, I met Lee Child, Richard Osman, the incredibly lovely Lucy Foley, JoJo Moyes, and Celia Imrie. I (finally) met Felicity Blunt and her wonderful husband Stanley Tucci. Plus Jeffrey Archer. Jeffrey Archer insisted Stanley Tucci was, in actual fact, Pep Guardiola (despite being told several times) and asked him why Man City’s form was not up to scratch this season (I am not even kidding you). Plus I met the amazing Elif Shafak, who is one of my literary heroes. All that, and I got to spend an evening with my very wonderful friend Sarah Winman. Now I’m on the train home and wondering if I just experienced a psychotic break 😂 and I can’t show you any photos because they were not allowed, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it. A huge thank you to The Queen’s Reading Room for inviting me to Clarence House to celebrate all the incredible work they do in bringing reading to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity. It was such an honour to be part of the evening. Another big thank you to Sue Armstrong, Susanna Peden and Ann Bissell for treating me to a lovely tea at The Wolseley beforehand … which I could take pictures of, so please enjoy my cheesecake The End 😂

@lynn2wine Best wishes for a swift and full recovery. Glad you’ve got such good company while you recuperate 🐾

Mum caught a virus 🦠 called Covid. Never had it before. I’m keeping her company and sharing my cookies 🍪

@JoannaCannon Fabulous

New reading glasses. What do you think? I’m thinking Quite Snazzy 😂

Coton remains bright with wings and wildflowers. 28 of the 30 butterflies named in the Council’s Butterfly Trail thrive here, and we’re planting for the two still missing — one, the magnificent Swallowtail 🌿🌸🦋 #SaveCotonOrchard ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-gre…

@JoannaCannon Oh no! 😢

I genuinely cannot believe Jilly has gone. When I had the pleasure of spending time with her at Chatsworth, she was full of life and glorious mischief. I also can’t stop thinking about the wonderful lady who was taking care of her and making sure she had everything she needed. They obviously had the most brilliant relationship,, and along with Jilly’s family and friends, she must be utterly devastated. Rest in peace, Jilly, and thank you for so much joy ❤️

@JoannaCannon You look fab… Lewis’ expression is hilarious though 🤣

Off to West Kirby to interview the fabulous Elizabeth Day. Lewis is DEEPLY unimpressed 😂

@JoannaCannon Hope you recover quickly under Lewis’s care and feel better soon 🐾

A weekend of mixing with other humans and my immune system is clearly as weak as a kitten, because I am soooo poorly. Thankfully, I have Nurse Lewis. This is Lewis’s Did Someone Mention Kittens? face.

We’re grateful to @ASTRAZENECAUK volunteers for their hard work today: planting 100+ trees, creating a pollinator patch & wildflower meadow, and harvesting pears for the community. A fantastic collaboration for people & nature 🌳🍐🌸🐝 #Community #BeesNeeds #SaveCotonOrchard

Safe travels, little wanderer. May the winds bring you back next year.

Collecting fruit for the village fête today, a volunteer recalled donning a picking bag here as a child. 50 years on, these same trees still yield their harvest but if the busway cuts through, our children may never taste their gift 🍎 #SaveCotonOrchard ✏️change.org/p/save-the-gre…

@bertsbooks @alisonbarrow Love it!

Our new bench is in place! 😍

‘Origins’ cider by @BlueBarrelCider, launched @Tate to celebrate @GBApples, tasted today @Midsummerhouse by @Midsummerchef. Rooted in Cambridgeshire. Cheers to all those fighting to #SaveCotonOrchard from being thrown under a busway🌳🍏🍎🚌❌✏️change.org/p/save-the-gre…

Halcyon days with @BlueBarrelCider 🍎 #SaveCotonOrchard

Alfie helps his dad water the trees and watch over his friends in this County Wildlife Site. Cap in muzzle, he’s asking you to help him stop @CambsCC from throwing their home under a busway. Paws in for #TeamAlfie 🐾 @dog_rates Pls help #SaveCotonOrchard ✏️change.org/p/save-the-gre…

@sophiehannahCB1 Happy Birthday to you both 🐾 🎁 🎂 🥳

Happy 2nd birthday to Chunk! And me - he’s 2, I’m 54. Together, we’re 56!!
