Very sad to hear of the death of Johnnie Walker, our lovely next-door neighbour when I was 11-17 then he emigrated to USA. I’d cat-sit his 2 cats whenever he & (first) wife went on hols. Such a kind, honourable family man. Happy memories & utmost respect.

Ridiculously excited to have finally found a garden chair that fits me. My feet can touch the grass! Not just my toes, but my whole foot flat on the ground. Only my fellow lilliputians will truly understand how grateful - and really comfortable - I feel now. #shortandfurious

West Midlands Railways train livery clashes with Great Malvern station. To whom do I complain? Only slightly joking.

This was a fabulous night - so privileged to have been there. Truly one of the greatest ever shows, and certainly the greatest ever prequel.
Last night, the West End stage musical phenomenon, Wicked, reached a magical milestone in becoming the 10th longest running West End show in British history.

The rather bonkers architecture of Zaandam in The Netherlands. The “heap of houses” is our hotel!

Zaandam railway station doesn’t appear to have a car park, but its multi-storey bike park is a thing of wonder. It also has the town name on its roof (historical Dutch tradition of having the family or company name in a contrasting colour of roof tiles on one’s home/premises).

Yesterday in Birmingham, both Regional Railways and Centro branding. Positively vintage!

One of many beautiful old buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon, but this one’s rather special because of who was born and lived here.

What a stunningly renovated Art Deco refreshment room on Leamington Spa station. Massive selection of drinks and cakes - all allergies very well catered for.

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Weald and Downland Living Museum - home to the Repair Shop on TV. Great day out in lovely spring sunshine.

Absolutely loving the on-train announcements on this 13.34 Eastbourne to London Victoria train. Example: “Just arriving at lovely Lewes, change here for Sassy Seaford”. @SouthernRailUK.

Today would have been Uncle Ken’s 100th birthday. Last month in Toronto it still felt strange to be unable to visit. Also went to Stratford, Ontario, where Dad and I saw him on stage 37 years ago. Today I wore my Hudson’s Bay socks as I laid flowers in his memory.
