Our previous generations of black swans are getting on really well, sticking together and showing just how strong the family bond can be. With Dad, Bertie, being as dominant as ever, it’s probably for the best they’re keeping close – there’s safety (and sanity!) in numbers 😅💪

We all need scrutiny but calling the National Trust's staff & members lunatics and marxists and zealots over what gets served in our cafes is not scrutiny. Attacks on independent institutions have been growing in democracies around the world. Every little matters.

Well, almost back in Bristol after this year’s Western Front Footsteps tour. It’s been an absolute joy with such a lovely group. I’ll post some more photos in the next few days.
