My biggest takeaway from yesterday’s awfulness. #Trump’s world is about macho ā€œdealsā€. Anything to do with decency, fairness and what is right has gone from the #WhiteHouse. That’s tough on so many Americans.

One thing you learn from a career in heritage: sometimes you have to make your own memorials. Today I went with my sister to the site that was HMP Holloway. Where a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned & some tortured. You’d never know from the hoardings #InternationalWomensDay

At my progressive (and non-religious) school 50 years ago we celebrated other cultures. We didn’t acknowledge Easter. It’s about choice. No problem with me.

Goodness! My progressive non religious school didn’t celebrate any Christian events, but did celebrate difference and inclusivity. That was in the 60s and 70s. It’s good to see the state system catching up.

Happy Easter! 🐣 here’s my little bro Mischa. As it’s #Easter and he’s #chocolate Burmese, is it ok to eat him today?

It’s a lovely warm day here. I’m snoozing in the conservatory. Mr Badger is making sure that I’m not disturbed. #happycat #warmday #napping

I saw about 20 people looking slightly lost and wondering what they were supposed to be doing. Someone in a shop asked what they were doing. I explained that it was a Faragy type thing.

Away from the normal hideousness of ā€œXā€, this is the first time that I’ve grown bergamot- the flowers are absolutely beautiful. #allotment #flowers #herbs

Just added a couple of pine cones from #Rachmaninoff house #Switzerland to our #allotment bug hotel. Let’s see what insects the vibe attracts.

I had no idea that wax seals were still used. It’s completely barking in this day and age. There’s tradition and there’s being bogged down by the past.
