Absolutely! You’re so right. It’s life-affirming as we make our way along the winding road ☺️

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Happy Birthday, Millie! 21 today! 🤗 …our welcome occasional extra child when they were all little 😍, fitting in seamlessly with the M&M alliteration, and also given the fact that if one ginger stands anywhere near another, it’s automatically assumed you’re related. Hope you’ve had a great day! 🥂

I should have known that a teenager who could write a catchy tune about Broccoli would grow up to write a showstopper about Marmalade 🤣

Also, I really think Tom Fletcher deserves AT LEAST (😆) a knighthood for his Paddington score. It’s so thrilling, touches ALL the emotions & is instantly familiar. We all know Paddington has the connections, so come on! Make the call!

And talking of crotchets… oh sorry, crochet.

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

When I watched Riley running on the beach the other day, it occurred to me that his big feet at the end of his gangly legs looked like crotchets 😆

48 hours in London Town. Family, friends, food, fun & fantastic… featre 🤔😍 Can’t recommend Paddington highly enough - absolutely amazing; & the wonderful Royal Opera La Traviata production which I fear is due to be replaced by some ‘bold re-imagining’ involving boring costumes & a random chair or 2.

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

And, being Valentine’s Day, it’s the perfect day to share a recent commission for this lovely couple, getting married later in the year 🥰 - details removed obviously in case it accidentally goes viral 😳😇

Many of you will have seen this before but just in case you need to tick different options this year, here it is again. Please tap for all options.

Two contrasting, consecutive nights at the theatre, from tragic to charming. La Traviata last night, for me, and then Paddington the Musical tonight with Phillipa. Can’t help wondering if Our Lovely Bear could have saved Our Tragic Heroine last night with a marmalade sandwich….

Preparing for my visit to Covent Garden next week to see Traviata (again!), just in case they need an urgent cover (again!). I’ve got this 👊🏻 Alexa; play ‘Sempre Libera’ - I’m quite proud that it’s almost properly in time. Get me 🤣

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

With the news from Covent Garden that an untrained singer stepped in to Turandot & sang [most of Act 3, apart from Nessun Dorma & the end] from the wings while a woman wandered around playing Calaf, a timely reminder that I am ALWAYS prepared to step in to mime the role of Lucia, if need be 🤗

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Well, this was a LOVELY commission, just delivered! For an old friend, commissioned by her children, featuring all the lovely Labs they’ve loved through the years 💛💛💛

The Northern Lights (through Martha’s phone) in our BACK GARDEN!! Incredible.

My mind is numb I cannot think I’ve looked for help Beneath the sink. I’m hoping that A gentle plunge Will help remove The mental gunge. It may come out In one big lump So brace yourself For a giant thump.

🎶 It was only 24 hours in Newport 🎶 ** **36 in and around, more accurately.

[To be said in a Boots cashier-style kind of voice]. When my occasional third ginger child, Isaac, turns up. This time on Boxing Day night when Riley was responsibly counting everyone back in; a duty inherited from Orly.

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

…and second… A lovely French setting for this one 😍

And two commissions, fitted in just in time for Christmas. First…

A little roundup before the year is out. Firstly, my artist’s impression a local primary school Nativity, featuring a fully-bearded Joseph 😍

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

It was our first Christmas with Riley, and his second in his life, and I think he enjoyed it 😅 From the paper, the sausages, the turkey, the (smell of) Bailey’s, the funny shiny thing in the sky, new teddy, and comfortable places to sit, to sleeping it all off… …till next year 😌

020

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Well, as December reaches the 20s, this may be a good time to thank everyone who’s asked me to turn their friends and families into illustrations this year, and to thank you for all your likes and comments, too. I really appreciate it! From all of us, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Labrador 😍

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Tick ‘YES’, Riley. We’ll back you up 😂

Sunny, amazing Naples, with all its history, wine, glorious music and food.

A family Xmas tree for possibly the biggest family I know 😆 They’re not really dressed for the North Pole but let’s not let global warming worries spoil the mood… or the fact that the driver is a little young. Apparently that’s ok in the NP as long as it’s a Ferrari & they stop for Polar Bears.

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Just back from a fantastic trip to Naples. Herculaneum; a tour of underground tunnels that opened up into Cathedral-like domes; and a trip to see the ever fabulous Sondra Radvanovsky in a production of Medea that has left me wondering ‘why?’ on so many levels 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Thank you! Me, more importantly, obvs 🤣

Happy birthday to another friend, Melissa, celebrating a big birthday - I was one of the youngest in the year so I can relax for a while 🤭 She now lives in California, but we met at school in Devon & this is a mixture of memories & moments that have led to where we find ourselves in life today.

‘Tis the season to once again pop the needle on Jamie Cullum’s Xmas album and dance your way through December 🎅🏻💃🏼 A new partner for me, after a solo year last year, but Riley has learnt the steps and we are CHRISTMAS READY 🤗 🦃

The Cone Diaries. Extended till Monday 😵‍💫🫣

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Another fab production from MidWales Opera; Trouble in Tahiti. Sharp, witty, with expert musicianship, all mixed with pure joy. I met friends beforehand & somehow failed to hear about a weather warning that saw me driving home in thick snow. So. A pretty eventful evening 😳😍

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

We did hope the onesie would be more Fig a, but even if I HAD been able to customise it to try to cheer him up, his reaction was definitely more Fig b….

020

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

🤣 He hated this EVEN MORE, so it turns out he was very grateful to go back to the cone! He wouldn’t even MOVE in this. Poor boy ☹️ I’m feeling terrible not only 3 days to go…..

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Extraordinary performance of Playing Burton, @welshnationaltheatre’s inaugural production. Matthew Rhys was spellbinding. Towards the end of the hour & a half some strange alchemy occurred where he seemed to move from Playing Burton to BEING Burton - as if Richard Burton’s face flickered across his.

Bridget MacKeith @bridgetmackeith.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

It seems an unfortunate coincidence that Riley should have had his operation just as a weather system called the Pembrokeshire Dangler moved in 😬 Still, it means he’s been able to play a new game: collecting hailstones in his cone.
