A few weeks ago on #OnlyConnect I mentioned Kite’s Nest Farm and magical Rosamund Young. Today I was lucky enough to meet her. An unforgettable day. If you haven’t read The Wisdom of Sheep and The Secret Life of Cows, I earnestly recommend that you do!

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Okay, I will do that – if you can repeat the invitation three times and quickly.

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@Liv_Boeree Yes of course! It was just phrased oddly! they’ve changed it now anyway.

Interesting phrasing, BBC News! I feel sure a woman has won something in a UK tournament before… don’t tell me, don’t tell me..

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@blahbla87130643 Oh yes! They weren’t there before 😂

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@NoShirleyNo I think you misunderstand how poker works.

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Merry Christmas! Alternatively, you could get this.

The new Only Connect quiz book is out today.

(Warning: contains startling personal revelation from the host.)

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Dangerous yes, but WHAT a holiday you’ve had!

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

I’m hearing from a LOT of Sheffield spice lovers and I’m being won over by them. (I appreciate this statement is at risk of being misconstrued.)

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

As I keep forgetting to mention, Monday after Monday, ONLY CONNECT IS ON TONIGHT! 8pm @BBCTwo

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

This company is not paying me to endorse them, by the way.

NOT YET ANYWAY.

I once said on a TV show that my idea of fashion sense as a teenager was customising my inhaler. Delighted to see there is now a company doing exactly that. They actually customise it for you. A product for the wheezy AND lazy! If only I could be 15 again.

@DodgeInHell You wouldn’t say that if you saw the rest of me

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Having a FaceTime at lunch and explaining to our toddler “You can see Daddy’s at work, because he’s wearing a tie and his hair’s all neatly combed”. I think I won’t try to explain the unusual extra dimension for now. She might as well just assume he’s got a real job.

@SenseiChanning MAYBE

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@Liv_Boeree @IgorKurganov Oh I didn’t hear you got married - that’s lovely, congratulations! Hope to cross paths again before too long x

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@Robert_Norman Thank you very much.

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Time to torch my image as a respectable quiz show host. Would *you* like to know how I made a million without standing up?

No wait, not that. My poker memoir, For Richer, For Poorer, is published at last as an audiobook!

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@sazmi Or you’re drinking more.

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@radavies_art @Nick_Holland_ Well obviously it’s a shame when anyone dies.

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

@paulbellis GOOD LUCK
