MEGA URGENT- 14 weeks to save the charity. We need to move and have no where to go. Anybody got land for ourselves and our animals in the UK. Would love to stay local to Wirral but this is now urgent!! facebook.com/share/p/182vYL…

@RolfatWarwick Yeah, whatever, says Rolf.

Rolf report 18 Jan: Dr Sherry asks and I answer. Right at the end I say, ‘And that’s how it’s done’. Rolf x

@thegentleauthor So sorry to hear this.

My beloved cat Schrodinger died suddenly on 6th December. spitalfieldslife.com/2025/12/31/so-…

📢 NATURE ON THE BRINK 😟🌍 This Christmas could be a nightmare for nature - the UK Government is about to roll back key environmental protections that were supposed to help wildlife thrive. Find out more: wildlifetrusts.org/news/nightmare…

#birds Swifts fly thousands of miles to breed in the UK—only to find their nest sites blocked up. Their ancient forests with nest hollows now gone, they relied on cavities in buildings, but these, too, have disappeared. To stop their steep 2/3rds decline since 1995, an inexpensive swift brick nest box was proposed to be incorporated by law into new buildings—also helping other red-listed cavity nesting bird species. But in a vote last night, UK Labour destroyed a golden opportunity to do this small thing for one of the most nature-depleted countries in Europe.

@AgathaChocolats Sometimes the bus took ages.

Sad to hear about #PrunellaScales. Here in an early role as one of the daughters in Hobson's Choice. She was wonderful.

We're saddened to hear that actress Prunella Scales has died, aged 93. Much-loved for portraying Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers, Scales had a long-standing career and was nominated for a BAFTA in 1992 for playing Queen Elizabeth II in Alan Bennett’s A Question Of Attribution.

Friends! Mum says we live in a ‘Mad House’. It’s true that some days are crazier than others. Here’s a snapshot of yesterday. Baby Dog and Ron having a RUMBUSTIOUS play session, whilst the Little One plays her guitar and sings. Quite the combination! *Please give us a share today* ❤️❤️

🚨URGENT UPDATE 💔😭🆘🙏 One share. One comment. One like. That’s all it takes to change his life. Let’s make him viral — and give him the shot he deserves. The world ignored him once. Don’t let it happen again.

@thegentleauthor Gillian Tindall wrote so well. The engine, when it finally appeared, would at first seem friendly but then grief in size, becoming enormous, a dragon 20 foot high that crashed past with such a din and a fleeting blast of heat that we would cower... (The Pulse Glass)

It is with a heart full of emotion that I have to announce that my good friend the historian GILLIAN TINDALL died on Wednesday aged 86. In February, Gillian asked me to publish her final work, JOURNAL OF A MAN UNKNOWN, which comes out on 6th November. spitalfieldslife.bigcartel.com

@RolfatWarwick Presumably you are nearer the treats in the kitchen, Rolf. Does that help?

Rolf report 28 Sept: Usually I’m the high kitty and Lizzie is the low kitty. I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this. Rolf x

(Amanda) I tried out someone else's lap yesterday. I didn't wait to be invited, I just took a chance and did it. Betty said I am getting very confident. I'm not sure what thatword means. Is being confident a good thing?

@RolfatWarwick Not only the music majestic there, we are all thinking.

Rolf report 8 Aug: Mr Holst knew his planets, and this one is Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity. Majestic would be an understatement… Performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with Sir Charles Mackerras on the podium. Rolf x

@RolfatWarwick The person who doesn't know cats looks and thinks 'Lazy thing. Just lies there, doing nothing. It's a cat's life.' Whereas in fact Rolf is working really hard at his molting.

Rolf report 1 Aug (I think): It’s late in the season but I’m trying to play catch up with my molting. Who better to help out than the talented Mr Chopin with his Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor, performed by Chinese-Canadian prodigy Bruce Liu? For #RelaxWithRolf. Rolf x

@RolfatWarwick 'Run?' says Rolf. 'Run?'

Rolf report 29 July: This is a new thingy that the Calcuttians have inserted into my chalet. It seems to be a circular tube that I’m supposed to get inside of and run around in. I think I’ll just sit on it for a while first. Rolf x

Oh no. #TomLehrer has left us and we are suddenly much poorer. 'I’m sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that!'
