Donated medical supplies are making a difference to wounded soldiers and civilians at Ternopil Regional Clinical Hospital in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 The hospital cares for wounded soldiers as well as local people. It’s so busy that many surgeons and doctors sleep there and go home just one day a week.

We adore aged Riesling and Pinot Noir! 2002, 2008 and 2010 Rieslings, serene and thrilling. Pinot Noir from 2007, fleshy and deep. More have just arrived from Peter Querbach in Oestrich-Winkel in the Rheingau.

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions of others persecuted and killed by the Nazis. May remembrance strengthen our resolve to remember the past & to protect the future.

We're no more civilised than we've ever been. Slavery is contracted out to sweatshops. Drone footage of battlefield deaths have replaced amphitheatres. Tyrants sit on thrones appointed by a mob. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few while others starve. We are savage.

English wine is not just acceptable it's amazing. The first glass is good, the second glass is better, and by the end of the bottle it's the best wine you've ever drunk.

Help us to help you this winter ⛄ ❄️ Use the right service - it may be more appropriate to visit a pharmacist, or a UTC like the one at Sevenoaks Hospital ❄️ If your relative is in hospital, support them to get home safely and quickly ❄️ Get your flu jab if you're eligible.

On the road again, picking up in Germany. After a long drive, a quick overnighter at Zum Krug. Gänsebraten mit Rotkohl (roast goose with red cabbage) with a 1966 Hocheimer Neuberg Riesling Spätlese by Aschrott. Good call, Josef Junior!

War Diary Nov 21st, 2025 At lunchtime in Old Bailey I saw Nathan Gill, ex Reform UK’s get ten years for taking bribes from a Russian spy. Now I’m in Ukraine to get reaction to @realDonaldTrump’s shameful peace trap written by another Russian spy. Interesting day/night… VPDFO!

Russia is continuing its war against Ukraine, bombarding Ukrainian cities and killing civilians. Front-line coverage is getting more dangerous. Ukraine fatigue is growing while Russian disinformation is on the rise.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

The Countryside Alliance should be thought of in the same way the Taxpayers Alliance is. They clearly aren't alliances in favour of what they claim to represent. They're niche, largely abhorrent lobby groups funded by nefarious means hiding behind a fluffy name.
