In search of evidence that there are still tenderhearted men in the world, I'm watching my favourite episodes of #allcreaturesgreatandsmall written by the lovely Ben Vanstone. Highly recommend Season 4, episode 5.

#FollowFriday As my obsessive news-reading slowly but surely saps all the joy out of living, I highly recommend @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social with great thanks to whoever created it. Music speaks when we are speechless.
