This is heart breaking. A wonderful dog, very special. 💔

Heartbreaking update. Stella passed away peacefully this morning as I kissed her goodbye. Stella won so many hearts, showing how loving and talented #Staffies are. An incredible police dog. Stella will forever be in my heart and always remembered for her amazing smile 🐾💔

[Carlos 🎧 🇦🇷 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @carlosgvizcaino]

Marianne Faithfull
RIP
🖤

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

Funny names, eh, who would have 'em................

[Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_]

Amidst everything else I think it’s worth observing that Mariann Edgar Budde is a name that could literally only belong to an Episcopalian.

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

@PhilipPullman Don't worry..... @_F_B_G_ is going to refuse to open emails from the Church of England......now that does take true courage..😉

@TrooperSnooks Name a charcter who technically isn't a villain but you consider to be one....

[Simon Knott @SimoninSuffolk]

Blundeston, Suffolk.

'I look up at the monumental tablets on the wall, and try to think of Mr Bodgers late of this parish, and what the feelings of Mrs Bodgers must have been, when affliction sore, long time Mr Bodgers bore, and physicians were in vain. I look to the pulpit, and think what a good place it would be to play in, and what a castle it would make, with another boy coming up the stairs to attack it...'

David Copperfield in Blundeston church, from 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens.

[Simon Knott @SimoninSuffolk]

Blundeston, Suffolk. Charles Dickens placed David Copperfield's birth and childhood in this parish, and included a memorable description of the boy's imagination running wild during a long, dull sermon.

Totally the opposite of Charlbury, of course😂

[Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_]

Still, if your core constituency is the smug, middle aged and middle class then I guess this is the equivalent of the Corn Laws.

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

@CotswoldLadyB Congratulations! This is a huge achievement!👋

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

@JohnJCrace Just be thankful you didn't have to watch #thesplitbarcelona Just awful in every respect.....

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

This woman is a hero of mine...just saying.

[Nikki McGee @RE_McGEE]

Over Christmas, we have been waiting for the results of various scans & checks. The first result is in, and it is good news. We are just waiting on a biopsy which now looks promising.

In other news, I have 2 new wigs and have planned and ordered 2 dahlia displays for my garden.

[Lesley Durrell @LesleyBrain]

My house and garden are immaculate.....so what next????
