Hurrah for Maria Corina Machado!

What a magnificent match! It turns out that winning really isn’t everything.

We’ve been to a lot of beautiful places in the last few months but Galloway is so special. Proper countryside, lots of wildlife, dark dark night skies. On this visit we enjoyed family parties, happy hares, a sheep rescue, a seaside sauna with a view of the Solway Firth and an owl, brilliant independent shops, sunsets, stargazing and loads of fresh air. Go visit!

The sun continues to shine, at Kew Gardens anyway, where we listened to the fabulous Mary Beard and Tom Holland discuss Ancient Greece, and I braved my fear of heights to climb among the trees. do you remember I couldn’t manage it before? A very uplifting day!

Thank you and for a fabulous weekend in extraordinary, other-worldly Dungeness. Love you gals, xx PS, check out the Donne poem on the side of Derek Jarman’s house and try not to cry at the sign which indicates those in control of our nuclear power can’t spell.

What a wonderful day! Such a joy to see and Hannah marry, and then to enjoy a fabulous party in the Cotswolds full of love and people and dancing. Magical.

Happy days in Edinburgh and Bristol watching Honor and Xander graduate, listening to inspiring speeches by and reminding them to stay curious and step up to laying the path for the lives they want to live. Two joyous days. So many gorgeous young people, I wish all of you all the best! ✨

A family of wrens came to visit! Despite 6 months of builders! A very happy Kate. life

Such an abundance of loveliness from Scotland to Bosham. I can report that the water is warmer in Sussex than in the Solway Firth.

What a fabulous long weekend that was: walking and drinking and eating and boating and sea swimming and lots of laughing with 11 friends, 3 dogs and 2 goldfinch chicks. Thank you all.
