Today is a wrap for me on series 24 of
#MidsomerMurders
Grateful thanks, as ever, to our incredible hard-working crew and brilliant guest artists for another great series
Fingers crossed we will be back..
No Frosties left.
Told daughter cornflakes with a bit of sugar sprinkled on would be just the same. Breakfast this morning:
Her “Urgh this is disgusting”
Me (furious) launched into the “You’re lucky to have anything at all” speech.
Turns out I’d used self raising flour.
@RevRichardColes
Dear Mr Coles,
I can’t begin to tell you how unhappy I am to hear of the death of your partner.
Wishing you nothing but love.
Signed
Everybody else xxxxx
My lovely mum has advanced Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia and has not called me by my name for nearly 2 years.
We sang Christmas carols yesterday and she remembered the words and sang along to nearly all of them.
It was very beautiful.
Do try it if you’re in the same boat x
That’s a wrap for me on Series 23
#MidsomerMurders
Huge thanks to my 3 favourite people, our brilliant crew & lovely new guests for a great series!
Happy to say we have been recommissioned and will be back next year for more murders and mayhem!

It was

and her team that are responsible for this amazing footage. Check out her timeline for more details on this amazing bird and what it took to capture this on film.
Some sad news for
#MidsomerMurders
fans. Our lovely Sykes has died at the grand old age of 18. He was a special little guy who won our hearts and the hearts of millions of viewers. A montage tribute with love from our Midsomer Family-
Happy 50th to me! It’s been a tumultuous journey at times but always worth it. Feeling happy, grateful and blessed.
AND I have a cake decorated by my daughter in mini rolos and curly wurly pieces...
NO I won’t be sharing it.
My 5yr old daughter watched my race yesterday. She asked me all about why I was training for the marathon and who
@hospiceuk
are. She was given £10 for Christmas which we had saved to buy her a present this half term. She handed me this at bedtime. I’ve been crying for an hour.
Just taken my daughter for an emergency dentist appointment for a small brown abscess that appeared this morning.
It turned out to be a bit of a Frostie.
Now booking myself an eye test and looking for a new dentist as can obviously never go back there again

The sheer blistering gut wrenching can’t breath brutal reality and anguish of collecting your loved ones ashes should stop ALL the clocks but instead we drive home with mum in a bag.
In. A. Bag.
It’s also 5 years today since we lost dad.
What an absolute fucker of a week
Being as everything is literally going to shit, here’s the time I accidentally put my favourite and only cashmere cardigan in the washing machine and it shrank so much it fitted my then 2 yr old daughter
New episode of
#MidsomerMurders
for UK viewers this Sunday 27th August on
@ITV
“The Witches of Angel’s Rise”
Brilliant performances from
@colinsalmon24
Janine Duvirski, Cian Barry and Tristan Sturrock to name but a few..
Thank you for waiting and hope you enjoy it!
We shouldn't let it go unnoticed that our press encourages contempt for women raising children without a father around but sympathy for a prime minister who has created so many.
How’s everyone doing?
Emotions pretty chaotic and unpredictable over here. Cried over the news. Cried over burning my toast.
Billie will be 19 in a few months. She’s seen me through divorce and death of loved ones and now this.
Thank god for cats (and dogs)
Take care all x
We said goodbye to Derek Fowlds yesterday and I was so struck by how everyone said the same thing- that he brought such genuine joy and love to everyone, friends and strangers alike. He spread happiness, he cultivated it. He lifted people up.
May we all be a little bit more Derek
The vet discovered that our beautiful little boy Dylan has a tumour. Tests tomorrow to determine whether they can do anything to save him. The vet was not hopeful.
If you’re the praying type please have a word or send good vibes into the ether for him
Absolutely bloody devastated
Ah Del. Generous, talented, funny, could charm the birds from the trees and did the best rendition of Sweet Caroline I have heard to this day. What fun we all had on Heartbeat. What a privilege it was to have known you. Sweet dreams lovely man.

5 years ago at Leeds Castle a lovely woman stopped me to quietly warn me that I was lactating.
That was the last time I gave my then 3 yr old a piggy back when she had wet socks on

Thank you to our amazing team who make it possible and our fabulous new guests (shhhhh not yet!) but mostly, thanks to
@dudgeon_neil
for being brilliantly talented and making each working day an absolute pleasure.
Happy Christmas Twitter Family! Hoping you all find peace and happiness and my thoughts especially are with all those grieving and missing loved ones. Take care of yourselves.
Much love xx
My darling friend.
You didn’t know her but, if you did, she would have lit up your world with her smile. Courageous, brave, fiercely loyal, smart and funny.
Love is all there is in the end.
Just love ❤️
10 years old today!
You never cease to amaze me with your immense courage and your open heart. May you always continue to forge a path down the road less travelled.
Happy birthday my beautiful, wonderful girl x
Attempted my own plumbing today. Have succeeded in breaking the toilet cistern entirely and teaching my daughter the phrase “fuck shit bollocks”
Am off to open gin and eat a family pack of preemptively stockpiled mini eggs.
Problem with sink.
Decided to teach daughter some life skills.
Spent 15 mins wrestling with the u-bend, detached carefully so as not to spill anything and then promptly poured it down the aforementioned sink.
The correct use of the word “bollocks” is an important life skill.
Its been a year since I held your hand.
I carry you with me and talk to you most days.I imagine your delight when good things happen,your advice when things go to shit-In so many ways you will never be gone
But there are still days when I ache to hold your hand again
Love you dad
There will be at least one woman in your life who has suffered miscarriage and not spoken about it. The heartbreak can be too much to voice. Same for many men too.
Whatever your views on public statements, please go gently today, it’s probably far closer to home than you know
A perfect and glorious afternoon celebrating the life of our much loved Betty Willingale who was responsible for bringing
#MidsomerMurders
to your screens.Some familiar faces who you will see tonight on ITV in the
#MidsomerMurders25
documentary celebrating 25 years of Midsomer.
My daughter wrote a story at school today. It had to be about a hot air balloon. Everyone else’s was shiny and new and soared into the sky. Hers was torn and broken.
It’s ok though because she mended it with “mummys big pants”
Comfy AND useful ladies, comfy and useful
No your glasses were not in their case
Nor were they on your head
You had decided to tuck them safely on your jumper where you could easily find them
Thankfully you haven’t lost half an hour in a blind tearful rage trying to find them..
You are a strong independent woman
Ffs
Anyone criticising a couple for choosing to hold hands, under any circumstances, let alone whilst having to publicly grieve can fuck off
All I can think of is those small princes following their mothers coffin.
And my own dads funeral.
Fuck “protocol”
Yes to hand holding
Another new episode “The stitcher society”
#MidsomerMurders
Sunday 8pm ITV. - Enjoy!

Sit back and relax. What could possibly go wrong? Certainly not murder surely?!
#MidsomerMurders
It’s such a tiny ask-to wear a mask.
He was in intensive care with covid, claims to support the NHS.
He knows the risks and the optics of sitting unmasked next to a 95 yr old national treasure and climate champion at this event are horrific.
He just doesn’t care.
I don’t bake.
I bought self raising flour 6 weeks ago to change that. It didn’t.
I left my flour out for a neighbour (we’ve never met) who asked for some in our new neighbours whatsapp group.
In return, she has left these on my doorstep.
Send me all the flour.
ALL of it.
NOW.
10 years ago today I was 2 days overdue and trying to kick start labour using a ride on mower
My daughter didn’t appear for another 9 days and only safely thanks to the help and intervention of the brilliant staff
@MTWnhs
Forever grateful

It’s tonight!

8pm ITV - Enjoy!
I would like it known that we filmed the tough mudder scenes 5 days after I ran the London Marathon
This (and only this, obvs) is the reason that
@MrNHendrix
streaks past me like some kind of gazelle on speed
Please allow me to take a moment to celebrate my brilliant GP brother who makes animal jigsaws for children in his spare time. About to sell these at our School Fair to raise money for the kids
What sad news. Peter Benson was one of the best. Kind, funny, brilliant, gentle and deliciously sarcastic. He was an absolute joy to work with and will be missed by so many. 💔
