Judi @judi.graysky.social · 05/09/2026Watching Burghley horse trails via Eventing Scores live is a bit like tracking football scores on Ceefax in the olden days! Green box for each successful jump & a red one for an elimination. Fun fact, 5* events like Burghley or Badminton are tougher than the Olympics or the World Cup which are 4*. 040 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 05/09/2026For anyone going to see Jay Z at White Hart Lane tonight - you are in for a treat. Maybe you’ll get Beyoncé, but we got Idris and Lauryn. We last saw Jay Z in 2009 when he opened for Coldplay at Wembley… he stole the show, sorry Chris Martin. 020 2
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 30/08/2026TIL that Thomas Paine was born in Thetford, Norfolk. “These are the times that try men's souls.” Indeed. 120 2
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 26/08/2026The pub opposite the Sizewell C entrance used to be a blacksmith’s forge a few hundred years ago. I had to have the name explained to me. 060 6
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 24/08/2026Fun to see @joelycett.bsky.social and friends test out some new comedy at the small local school theatre tonight 👏 040 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 24/07/2026Murder in the Medway… an immersive murder mystery on a British Pullman train today with fine dining and guests getting sloshed while sleuthing. First prize & a bottle of Kent fizz went to my husband who worked out the murderer & the motive🕵️🚂 It helped that he read the materials and paid attention…👏 150 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 23/05/2026Such a beautiful sculpture exhibition by Art 4 Cure at the Wyken Vineyards near Bury St Edmunds, with the bonus of the delicious Leaping Hare restaurant for lunch #Suffolk 091 9
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 17/05/2026If you want to feel encouraged by the compassion of the majority, here is our team of hospice healthcare staff from our in-patient unit in Ipswich, taking part in last night’s Midnight Walk - fundraising for the service they care so deeply about 💖 1,000 walkers for @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social 060 6
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 28/02/2026Finally made it across to Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury to catch the Stanley Spencer exhibition. I love the new National Lottery funded extension - what a stunning addition to this historic rural little silk-weaving town x 020 2
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 11/01/2026Very satisfying visual in the Pips game today in @nytimes.com but haven’t managed to crack it yet… 140 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 01/01/2026Walking into 2026 hoping for blue skies ahead ☀️ It looks grey, but we did have a spectacular sunset sky later - you’ll have to trust me as I have no photo evidence. 070 7
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 25/12/2025I loved The Names 👍 And thank you for my Secret Santa - looking forward to reading that! Happy Christmas x 010 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 16/12/2025Mine has arrived, thank you! I am going to try and wait until the 25th 🎁 041 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 07/12/2025I missed Stir-up Sunday last weekend (we haven’t finished last year’s Christmas Cake yet) so I made up for it this weekend, baking 48 x frangipane mince-pies 😋 030 3
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 06/12/2025Looks lovely. I’ve been enjoying some local Christmas shopping too…. Woodbridge was nice and busy 🎄 010 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 25/11/2025At @hospiceuk.bsky.social conference in Liverpool today. Not an easy time for many hospices but we look forward to hearing from @skinnock.bsky.social as Minister of State for Care later about a new Modern Service Framework for palliative and end of life care. 050 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 01/11/2025Sorry for the old school sharing style but very interesting philanthropy development in today’s @ftweekend.com from @joshspero.ft.com and @joemillerjr.ft.com 💸 161 6
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 24/10/2025As the child of Shields parents - albeit South & not North - I feel surprisingly emotional about Sam Fender’s Mercury win. I never lived in Shields but that is our heartland and I recognise the big messy love and fierce loyalty. Well done Sam - or as my mum would’ve said: “Canny job” 🩶 020 2
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 20/10/2025First day back to work after some annual leave. We had a lovely dog sitter called Annie to stay who kindly left us some dahlias to greet us on our return. May you all meet an Annie today. 1141 14
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 19/10/2025I am slowly catching up on Barbara Kingsolver’s back catalogue so was very pleased when my book club chose The Lacuna this month. 110 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 29/09/2025POV when you find a phone case online of your favourite painting in your hallway but it’s only for a Google phone, not an iPhone 😬 so went for snowy hillside instead (all by the lovely and talented Natasha Newton) 040 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 21/09/2025The British eventing team may have had a disaster at the European Champs at Blenheim but fantastic medals in the individuals for 🥇Laura Collett & London 52 and 🥉Tom McEwen & JL Dublin 🇬🇧 #equestrian #FEI Well done to Germany for the team win and delighted for Team Ireland’s silver 🥈🇮🇪 151 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 03/09/2025Started watching Race Across the World S2 E1 last night and couldn’t resist digging out our 1992 La Ruta Maya photo album to show our daughter that we had been to many of the same stops in our backpacking days … 🇲🇽🇬🇹🇧🇿🇭🇳 cc: @andrew.graysky.social 050 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 02/09/2025Great to see A Man for All Seasons at the Harold Pinter Theatre last night. Steadfast ethics in the face of a capricious leader, the resolute defence of the rule of law, the debate on whether silence constitutes condoning or defiance. I am now curious as to how modern historians view Thomas More? 050 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 02/08/2025Thank you @adapalmer.bsky.social for this post about Bologna six months ago which blew my mind, and inspired a lovely trip to San Gimignano this summer - the Manhattan of medieval Tuscany. 000 0
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 17/07/2025Today’s story in @thetimes.com suggests that demand remains strong - if attitudes in general had fallen sharply, you would think this would be reflected in applications. 252 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 14/07/2025The downside of your mum being in the charity sector is being roped into photo opps every time you go anywhere 🫣 Our hospice hares were the centre of attention outside Ed Sheeran’s homecoming gig at Ipswich Town FC last night so of course we had to take a selfie for @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social 💕 061 6
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 29/06/2025Nice touch for Olivia to bring out her hero Robert Smith on the Pyramid Stage tonight 👏 Watched on TV to try and spot my daughter who was right at the front - she’s had a brat weekend at her first Glasto, all sounds amazing but I’m glad to be 30 seconds from my bed 💤 060 6
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 19/06/2025Thank you to @jackabbott.bsky.social for hosting a Suffolk Day morning at the Houses of Parliament today to celebrate local achievements and aspiration for our county town and county. Great to meet artists, entrepreneurs and ambitious education leaders 🔥 030 3
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 19/06/2025College of Canons at St Edmundsbury Cathedral yesterday. Always lovely to meet a fellow Blueskyer IRL 🦋 @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social - looking forward to seeing your research of Edmund shared in a new way in the coming months with the Abbey Reborn project. 1111 11
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 12/05/2025Celebrating International Nurses Day today in the garden of @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social - the heart of our hospice 💜 050 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 10/05/2025And the walkers are off, time for me to whizz up to the hospice to greet them mid-walk #hospice 040 4
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 10/05/2025Another totally normal Saturday night as a Hospice CEO heading off in my pyjamas to give a speech to hundreds of midnight walkers (the theme is pyjamas, I’m not just being odd) #hospice @hospiceuk.bsky.social @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social 170 7
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 10/05/2025I don’t know Flo, but I like her style. Thank you Flo 💜@stelizabethhospice.bsky.social 010 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 21/04/2025The grande dame of our labradors, Lady Phoebe, loves to sit and watch the cars go by 🌸 090 9
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 13/03/2025@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social: “There is enormous duplication between the Dept of Health and NHS England … it is just not effective.” 000 0
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 13/03/2025Interesting to overlay that FT waiting list graph ⬆️ with this one from @thekingsfund.bsky.social showing the respective NHS England expenditure with Labour and Conservative governments. 010 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 25/02/2025A special day at @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social with our annual Thank-A-Thon, ringing almost 1k supporters, handwriting postcards and visiting businesses. Very humbling to hear so many people simply reply, “Well, the hospice was there when we needed them.” @hospiceuk.bsky.social 180 8
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 16/02/2025Self-care in the form of a crumbrûlée from the legendary Humble Crumble at Spitalfields Market - I didn’t actually try it myself but I appreciated it 🙌 0100 10
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 04/02/2025Sometimes you see things afresh through the eyes of visiting friends. Thank you to my friend Sophie for capturing this sunrise at the weekend. How many beautiful Suffolk sunrises have I missed for not looking? Thousands. 0190 19
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 01/02/2025What a coincidence, I was there today! Well worth a visit while it is still being built, and a wonderful King’s River Tapestry too. 010 1
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 30/01/2025Ooh @andrew.graysky.social is my red circle right? But needs to stretch to 6 Music and vinyl too…. 310 3
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 26/01/2025POV when the weather app says it feels like -3 and the heating engineer has cancelled their emergency Sunday visit to repair your broken boiler 🥶 050 5
Judi @judi.graysky.social · 25/01/2025Had to delete and repost as I put the wrong date 🫣 Glad to have spotted that @lukewrightpoet.bsky.social is performing at the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds on 5th February. Tickets are still available if you’re quick. #poetry #BookSky 131 3
