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.

My handsome neighbours at @AlthorpHouse are looking their very finest now.
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 the start line of the 25-mile section of #Cycle4Cynthia just now - with Ronan & 10 year old Anna - while @CatJarman started the 11-milers. @AlthorpHouse providing the backdrop to this fundraiser for @CynthiaSHospice - where I’ve been patron since 1989.

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.

The Conservation Department at @AlthorpHouse has a special brief to help look after the owl population here. Wonderful to see how well this project is going….
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
