History, cooking. reading, holidays, wine, cider, real ale, star-gazing & family, in no particular order. Self-confessed Francophile. Becoming angrier daily.

I’ve just discovered these stories - amazing! I’ve binged them all. Perhaps I should have rationed them throughout the year …

Happy Christmas Eve - which of course sees the release of my annual Christmas Ghost Story. Wherever you are spending Christmas we wish you a wonderfully happy - and slightly spooky one. https://t.co/9sPsWXKH2P

@McCainUKIE What happened to the skin? 🙁

[Lesley Candlin @Tig1971]

@WrestleFeatures @bbcdoctorwho He was, it’s just a shame the writing in his first series let him down.

@bushontheradio the text wouldn’t let me send the picture. The onions comment makes so much more sense …!
“Making Nadia Hussain's beef and cashew vindaloo for tonight's dinner (she does love her onions!). Could I please request a bit of Echo and the Bunnymen?”

What happened to the ‘comic’ in #ComicRelief? Oh look - these are all the people who have died in the last 40 years!

Week 2, day 1 of Couch to 5k, and what more do you need at the end than a “Well done, flower” from @SarahMillican75 ?
Now, where’s my small bit of fruit ….?!

Professional dancers scoring a professional dancer highly? Who’d have thought it? #strictly

@holland_tom Cahors is the same - not just lovely wine!

“as per my last email”

[Lesley Candlin @Tig1971]

@Cat_Phillips Absolutely- that just made me catch my breath! I am such a coward!

[Lesley Candlin @Tig1971]

@Cat_Phillips I can still feel my stomach flipping at the thought of walking out to the edge (I never did manage that!)

WTAF have I just watched? Those first two episodes of #DoctorWho were so shockingly bad. I’m reeling. If they were trying to kill off the franchise, they’ve definitely succeeded.

Happy International Women’s Day from the strong women in my family to yours #IWD24

#WickedLittleLetters - what an absolute joy! Go see it 😊

@SimonGreasley I think he’s missing that only one exclamation mark is needed.

@remysmom7 @AnneLouiseAvery When working on the ward, I always tried to sit with patients who were most poorly, spouting nonsense to them, just so they knew they weren’t alone; that someone was there, holding their hand through the night.

Sadly, thanks to PFI, there was no canteen open to seek solace in.

So, watching #TopOfThePops on BBC4, and who should pop up? It appears Patrick wasn’t just a Scout Leader! #BBCGhosts #Ghosts @JimHowick @benwillbond

@Ginofantastico Made your Tuscan Bean Stew for our New Year’s Day dinner. Absolutely delicious (the knives weren’t needed!). 😋

[Lesley Candlin @Tig1971]

@SimonGreasley 5ml is also a teaspoon, not a tablespoon (15ml). Eek!
