Today, for the third time, a ‘paper has been forced by the Law to apologise for lying about me “depriving Diana of a home”. The guilty journalist this time? Janice Turner - aka ⁦@VictoriaPeckham⁩ of ⁦@thetimes⁩ Yellow journalism.

To St Mary’s, Battersea, last night for the installation of the Rev Erin Clark by ⁦@BishopSouthwark⁩ - as Lay Patron, I took a minor role in selecting this wonderful priest. Here Erin is, supported by husband Max, the churchwardens, & her local MP. A really happy evening.

Black fallow bucks @AlthorpHouse The rutting season is upon us here in the deer park. We had a long hot summer with the bucks happily chilling out together, but now they've become very pugnacious all of a sudden! Conservation@althorp.com #fallowdeer #nature #rut #Spencerestates

Every now and then, even a total amateur like me is in the right place at the right time. Five years ago, I was walking the dogs by the water’s edge at ⁦@AlthorpHouse⁩ with my iPhone - and realised that the light, the cloud, and the moment were just incredibly special.

The Falconry, at the back of the Deer Park at ⁦@AlthorpHouse⁩ - I was lucky enough to call this early 17th century folly “home”, before I took over care of the main house from my father. It may look slightly “Hammer House of Horror”, but it has a wonderful soul.

A team working at ⁦@AlthorpHouse⁩ has just found this newspaper embedded in a wall - the ⁦@DailyMirror⁩ from Monday 3 September 1934 (which was the first time Labor Day was designated a legal holiday in the USA). We will preserve it & add it to Althorp’s archives.

At ⁦@AlthorpHouse⁩ today we have #Cycle4Cynthia - the major annual fundraiser for ⁦@CynthiaSHospice⁩ (named after my grandmother). There are 5-, 11-, 25-, 50- & 70-mile courses. Lovely to see the 5-milers enjoying the Park while doing so much good.

Two of our barn owls decided to stay in today and keep out of the strong wind. A pair of little owls went into their box earlier in the same barn and have stayed there.... I don't blame them. Conservation@althorp.com @Payne1pro Spencerestates #owls
