    Currently on a break in Northumberland. We are 15 miles from the MetroCentre in Gateshead. I&amp;#39;m sitting on a bench in the evening sunshine, watching curlew and hares. Bliss.

    Noooo! Not Sam Neill 😭😭 Could all of these people around my age group - whether friends, ex-colleagues or celebrities - just stop dropping dead for a bit, please? I can&amp;#39;t cope.

    So last week I went to see the Bayeux Tapestry and today we visited Bosworth Battlefield. In both cases the English king and his army started out on higher ground although the traditional locations of both battles are suspected to be slightly inaccurate. Despite the higher ground supposedly conferring an advantage, in both cases the English king lost!! Anyway, the Battle of Hastings was 960 years ago today.

    Blowy afternoon walk - masses of sloes in all of the hedges. When I was a child in a Hampshire village, the lore was always that a &amp;#39;Blackthorn summer&amp;#39; preceeded a hard winter. That doesn&amp;#39;t quite square with the super El Nino predictions of mild and wet. Interesting to see how this pans out.
