I don’t normally post stuff like this but a friend told me off for not joining in the fun of posting a photo of yourself at age 20 and also a work photo. Well this is both. 20 years old and ad pic from Sweet Charity. There I’ve done it so now I can go back to being Bah Humbug!
So So sad at the passing of the extraordinary lady who was Una Stubbs. I had the privilege of working with her on the Nescafé commercials for ten years. She was funny, kind, Generous and SO talented. It was an absolute joy. Travel well lovely lady.💋🙏
I have no words to describe what I’m feeling. The saddest of days in my life. HM Queen Elizabeth II has died and a nation mourns. We mourn her loss as a people & I and my family mourn. We always loved and admired her with the greatest respect for her service to our country.
I am so very sad to hear the awful news about Tim Brook Taylor. He was a friend & a wonderful human being. We spent many wonderful months working together on “You Must Be The Husband” & it was a thoughts are with his wife Christine & his family. RIP Tim 🙏
Julia is Back! Thrilled and delighted to return to Doctors today! Filming with the old gang and some new lovelies was such a treat. Home to Letherbridge! What a joy. Thank you all you tweety peeps for your lovely words. I’m so feeling the love. Bless you. Xxx💋
Our village is at their gates every Thursday to applaud the NHS & ALL key workers for risking their lives for us. Last night we took chairs wine & six foot distance rule @ 7pm & got to know each other for an hour before we stood up to applaud. It was so heartwarming!
SO SO sad to hear we have lost the wonderful and talented Gill Gascoine! Knew her well way back and she was a fabulous, funny, kind and smart lady. RIP lovely lady and my thoughts and prayers to Alfred and the family.
The legend that was Lionel Blair has left the stage. What joyous times we had together working on tv or touring. Happy days my dearest friend. Safe journey and much dancing on the other side! 🙏💋

Our little addition was so traumatised and fearful when he arrived five hours ago. He’s had some roast chicken and a lot of cuddles and gone back to his bed. Finally feels safe enough to sleep. Love him already. What has he been through!!💕😢
Huge & heartfelt thanks to EVERYONE who has sent messages & for all the lovely things you have said. I was so moved, I didn’t realise just how much you all love Julia. It’s been so emotional & touched my heart to see all the messages of love & support from you all. Bless you💋💕
Midnight and I’m going to blow out the candle I’ve had in the window all evening to honour and commemorate the birth of the Mother of all nurses Florence Nightingale on the 12th May, 200 hundred years ago. Bless you and Thank You🙏.
Hi Tweeties! My lovely friend Debbie Arnold invited me to join her and the fabulous girls onto their show “Wonderbirds”. Had a brilliant time. On Facebook and YouTube today at 4.30. Set your timer! 💋💋
On this day nine years ago I said goodbye to a truly fabulous show after almost ten years playing the sometimes tricky, could be emotional and definitely bossy but always caring and kind Julia Parsons. I liked her from the start and grew to admire and respect her. I miss her.
Home grown Iris’s and Friday night Gin and tonic in the kitchen before dinner. I’m really getting the hang of this lockdown malarkey!! Happy weekend you lovely tweeties.
A huge Thank you to all you wonderful peeps who sent such lovely Birthday wishes to me. I was overwhelmed by so

If only he was here with me today so I could hug him and spoil him! Happy Father’s Day to all you peeps who have lost a Dad. Don’t be sad, He’s just moved into another room!
Ekapol Chanthawong the coach lost all his family as a child. He trained as a monk and devotes his life to helping kids. He was the last out and was the weakest because he’d given what little food he had to the boys. Such courage & compassion. He is just 25 years old.
Wanted to share this with you all! Bought this beauty at a garden show last year! Planted, loved and tended to her every need and here she is repaying me in abundance. She’s a cheeky minx and she’s called Hanky Panky!!😱 quite a beauty!
Good morning everyone. Take a deep breath and relax! Our planet still needs us to be calm and kind, to ourselves, to everyone else and to all sentient beings. Let’s learn something good from what we are all going through. Have a good week and please stay safe💋
Beautiful Bath! Farewell and huge thank you to staff @ Theatre Royal. What a fabulous week we had. Thank you all who came to see us in HOME, IM DARLING. You were a wonderful audience.! On to stunning Malvern this week. Come & join us. See you there.!
My little Greek Angel. He’s been with me a year today so I’ve made this day his birthday. We had Tuna cake with a candle and music for his first year after being rescued from Greece. Happy Birthday my gorgeous Hector. You are the joy of my life.❤️

Hi all you lovely Tweeters out there! Ive a special favour to ask you. Would you all be willing to RT this and follow them. This is the only facility in the UK for disabled animals & these little furry kids need your help with donations & raising awareness. No funds, they close!
@LynieT
They most certainly are.! it’s vital to keep at the physio every day relentlessly no matter how despondent or reluctant you feel. Do it!! everyday. It works. I hope your husband continues to make good progress. He’ll get there. Best wishes to you both. Happy Christmas 🌲

time to take IMMEDIATE ACTION to save the Tapanuli orangutan from your greed.
How are you all doing out there my brave warriors! Here is a pic I took today of both my Mimosa trees coming into bloom. They don’t have to worry about Pandemics. Hope they cheer you all up a bit. Stay safe and well. 💋💕
