Happy to be on beautiful Dorset coast for our family summer hols this year. Taken my American born (and now British citizen) children and husband to all parts of GB to discover how amazing it is. We’ve done Cornwall, Peak District, Lake District, Wales and now Dorset. All fab. Happy.

The end of my street looked like an episode of Storm Chasers today. I was expecting apocalyptic frogs falling from the sky.

My 30 year old liberal daughter in London got this actual ad in her Instagram feed. She’s a honest woman. She says it was real. I mean really? This would not be the home decor I would have pegged for her. Or any of her friends. Or any of her family.

I’m halfway to my £5,000 goal. 🙏 •⁠ ⁠£200 subsidises a place for a pilgrim who is suffering but otherwise couldn’t afford it •⁠ ⁠£450 trains a new Grief Pilgrim Guide •⁠ ⁠£5,000 — my goal — creates a whole new three-day bereavement journey, including design givestar.io/gs/100-miles...

I’ve reached Oxford! Alone. Just me, my backpack and a lovely hazel staff. Stage one of my Thames Pilgrim Way walk — source to Oxford, the first 55 miles — is done. I began last Thursday to raise funds for the British Pilgrimage Trust 🧵

It’s now such a peaceful place. Hilaire Belloc said in his 1907 book The Historic Thames that along this stretch, a man from the 15th century could walk here and think he was in his own time.

This is Radcot Bridge, precisely where the eponymous battle occurred in 1387 between the supporters of King Richard II (boo) and an army led by Henry Bolingbroke, who later became King Henry IV.

From the last time we had to fight off the fascists… Second World War pillboxes along the River Thames between Lechlade and Newbridge… so if Farage makes it this far… They’re full of fag packets and beer cans now. givestar.io/gs/100-miles...

A glorious second day of my pilgrimage from the source of the river Thames to the sea to raise money for mental health programs at the British Pilgrimage Trust. 30 miles done. Only another 150 or so to go!! givestar.io/gs/100-miles...

I'm packing light, but with a weighty and determined heart full of hope. I leave this week for my pilgrimage to support mental-health programmes w/ @pilgrimtrust.bsky.social. Those I love deeply struggle. This is now my post-career focus. Please support me. givestar.io/gs/100-miles...

Remember AOC’s “tax the rich” dress that she wore to the Met Gala? That was awesome too. I have so much respect for both.

The Thames at Richmond. My home. I’m walking from source to sea this summer to raise money for mental health programmes. Your support would be so welcome #charity. givestar.io/gs/100-miles...

It’s finally here. Just in time for Easter. Malus Snowdrift crab apple tree in my garden. Planted in 2021 and now really coming into its own. It’s a thing of joy and beauty. #gardeningsky

Trying to find out if there’s a #NoKings protest tomorrow in London. Hey America— we’re ALL affected by the mess Trump’s made. We want to protest too! It’s called #NoTryants here (fair). It says it is TBD. Someone should prob update the page. Is this happening? @50501movement.bsky.social

NoKing event page in London for March 28 showing no details available.

I’ll admit we’re feeling pretty despondent about the future blah blah. Will Trump press the button? So we’ve made a Spotify playlist that reflects “Cosmic Americana” with a more whimsical Presidential character. And we’re finishing our best whisky. Might as well. open.spotify.com/playlist/37i...

I wish there were a news beaded curtain behind which all the disgusting Epstein news could go, so I don’t have to see it. But anyone couldn’t they wanted. This is the front page of the BBC News today. You just know the Firm knew this was going coming, so pre-emptively dealt with Andrew’s baubles.

Curious what the average US citizen is feeling, and seeing, in their news feeds. Are they as scared and outraged as we are in Europe? Went to Fox News website. This was a top story. So yeah. Don’t think it’s really hitting home.

Everyone over here on #Bluesky doesn’t want to see your nonsense #Trump. Showing it off in X isn’t going to help you. I’m delighted to say…(screenshot from X… in case you’re confused…)

Lanthony Priory is a beautiful partly ruined former Augustinian priory in the magical Vale of Ewyas near Abergavenny. I’d like to say the glorious walk along Offas Dyke to get there was the best bit … but the fact that there’s a pub in the ruin is pretty bloody awesome.

One of the things we have to be v wary of is how many photos the media publishes of certain leaders to ensure we think of them as clownish buffoons. When they are instead crafty operators. Ignore the photos and pay attention to words and deeds.

Away for three days and the Malus Snowdrift crabapple tree burst into, well, a snowstorm of glorious blossom while I was gone. This was a Covid planting. It’s come along nicely. #gardensky
