The Curious House Guest - Series 1: 1. Chavenage House Jeremy Musson visits the quintessentially English manor of Chavenage House in the Cotswolds, and gets involved in the working life of the estate.

Hah. We had our wedding reception at "Styles" where there was a framed portrait of David S as Poirot.

Hidden amongst a thicket, a small Long-tailed Tit peers out from its cosy nest, it's long tail sticking out rather conspicuously behind it. The nest is an artful blend of moss and lichen, camouflaged perfectly with the surroundings. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting a soft glow and highlighting the bird's bright, watchful eyes.

A young me wearing a blue sweatshirt (I still have it) and sunglasses (still have them too) in front of the pyramid. The outer casing of stones is missing giving it a stepped appearance.

Running a business on your own can be challenging at times.

Today feels like a good day to say that I'm proud of what I've built. And I'm proud to be part of a community of women who are out there doing the same.

Happy International Women's Day.

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both β€˜economic migrants’ *and* β€˜welfare scroungers’?

You found nineteen plectrums in your underpants after a night out in Todmorden Sandy? Are you sure?

Aye Tosh. I'm sure. Spotted them straight away. Fell out as I was putting on my pyjamas.

Well if sport were funded properly at state schools and Thatcher hadn't sold off all their playing fields things might be different, eh?
