Proud adopted Northerner. Love walking, reading, music and BBC radio. Slightly fearful about our collective future

@Jacxdad3376 Incredibly distressing - as the Nana and Aunt of several autistic young people - my heart broke and I couldn’t read any of the details. Why would people film something like that and why on earth would they share it on social media? I love your posts btw

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@HuntyCaller Well done everyone! Just donated - picture of my Toy Cavapoo, Betsy - it’s great the Fund will support really worthwhile charities - including those supporting animal welfare

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@Scaramucci I’ve downloaded it from Audible and really looking forward to it - especially as you’re reading it. It makes it so much more powerful if the author reads it - huge fan of the podcast btw. Really hope you keep it up as we need you and @KattyKay_ to make sense of the madness

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@LouiseRawAuthor @RNLI Done 👍

@SangitaMyska I do cover the crate at night - I think it helps them feel it’s their own den and she knows it’s bedtime. Good luck 🤞

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@SangitaMyska I used to put her in with a treat and Heartbeat Puppy - she goes in on her own at bedtime now - still with a cuddly. She sleeps in her bed through the day but when she was spayed she went in the crate through the day - think she needed the comfort 💔

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@Scaramucci I’ve pre-ordered it on Audible - really looking forward to it. Massive fan of the podcast - don’t think I’ve missed an episode. I do rely on you and @KattyKay_ to make sense of what’s happening in the US

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@StellaParton I’m from England and was so upset at Dolly’s passing - she’s been part of our world here for decades and was so loved by so many people. There’s been a real outpouring of love here. I’ve followed your account for ages and really enjoy your posts - please carry on ❤️

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@ShelaghFogarty Vision Express are excellent - my son worked for them a few years ago and they were great employers. Find them really helpful and efficient and they don’t push expensive glasses on you

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@SangitaMyska My Cavapoo , Betsy, is adored by everyone - they are total heart stealers and so loving. Serious side eye givers though 😜

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@rickedwards1 @back_the_BBC Oh I’m really gutted about this - really love listening to you and @rachelburden in the mornings - even when it’s a tough news day - which is most days now. Have particularly loved your WC coverage and your great banter with Rachel. Huge miss. Will have to swerve now

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@Scaramucci I’m really looking forward to it coming out in the UK in September - I’ve added it to my Audible wishlist in anticipation. Love the @RestPoliticsUS podcast

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@MarinaHyde Just sent it to the family and said I think it’s your greatest ever column - just brilliant 👏👏

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@GoalhangerHQ @thetimes @GaryLineker Well done 👏 and richly deserved. I’m an avid listener of many of your podcasts and they give me hope for the future - have learnt so much from them and hope you carry on adding to your brilliant stable

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@cspencer1508 That’s just lovely 🥰 - beautiful photos. I miss your Rabbit Hole Detectives podcast a lot and am so delighted that the two of you found each other. Many congratulations 🥂

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@RestIsPolitics Wow!!! Can’t wait for this. What a fantastic coup - but very well deserved

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@Carol4OliveFarm Not mine, but I saw it tonight when I was walking the dog - just lovely

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@autcareandshare I really love hearing about Ryan’s adventures. When there is so much difficult news around your messages and photos are just joyous. My grandson is autistic and is a source of great joy to me

[Fiona Slade 💙 @avidreader49]

@autcareandshare That’s absolutely wonderful - you must feel incredibly proud of him
