Tattoo of some wild rocket
Tattoo of some fennel
Eight months since I had my botanical tattoos done- wild rocket and fennel. Hmmm, what nextβ¦
Tempted to a portrait of the wonderful Hattie Jacques but possibly another botanical would be in keeping. #tattoos

Ugh you poor thing. Feel better soon. Another method for speedy weight loss is for your husband to go work for the NHS- heβll bring home so many romantic gifts; norovirus, wheezy respiratory infections. Cosy togetherness guaranteedβ¦
My condolences to you, he sounds amazing.
How lovely to see her wonderful face again. Thank you, John.
A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deckβ thatβs not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground π πΌ
Grappling with History is great- I really love it and it has whetted the appetite for the show!

Top notch planning and an inspiration- mine are heading in the same direction!
In the Northamptonshire village of Aynho many old cottages have Apricots growing up their walls.
These had been given to the local householders by the Lord of the Manor. The locals were then required to pay their tithes in Apricots rather than money. #HouseHistory
I see Undercliffe House is up for sale again. I wrote a long form piece for Viva Lewes about this remarkable place (that I lived directly beneath) a decade ago. A cast of residents that you couldnβt invent, a pure Edward Gorey fantasy.
