... I wonder if she has 'Snappy the Crocodile'... A particular rarity. I know of someone who might be interested... #psychoville #oscarlomax #crabtreesisters

Happy 91st birthday to the best Doctor that ever was and ever will be - the very wonderful, Tom Baker

@benwillbond.bsky.social Wishing you a very happy birthday, Ben 🍻 Don't know about you but I think now we are >50, 52 is a most excellent age to stick to for every subsequent birthday if anyone asks...

My first nature photo of 2025

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate 🥳

Time for some pre-Christmas reading...

One of my favourite things to look forward to at Christmas is the new 'Ghost Story at Christmas' offering from Mark Gatiss each year. Looks like this year's will be another absolute cracker 😉

Have just produced my best cottage pie ever...

Remembering our departed beloved friends this Christmas with beautiful handmade hearts from Villager Jim Thanks @VillagerJim.bsky.social they're just lovely 💗

Also, a feisty squirrelette I have named Nibby...

A blackcap has taken up residence in my garden... Welcome fine sir & stay awhile

I have a cold... misery me 🤧

After a team building day of mug painting, the day of reckoning has come... Pep, pep, pep! Viva Yonderland!

So disappointing when you place an order for something wonderful and it doesn't arrive when promised, and there are no updates from the place you ordered it from. This has happened with two companies so far. I don't mind waiting but an update on why the orders are delayed would be nice...

Awwww & yay! Cracking idents, Gromit! 🎄 www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/bb...

Yesterday morning, just as the winds were picking themselves up for a mighty gusting, I found myself cutting back our massive wisteria to prevent it being blown down. Such fun - certainly blew any cobwebs away and a great hair restyling too...

Been such a long time since a greenfinch visited... such a welcome to you little one - so thrilled that you are here 💗

Listen up, everybody! Loki has spoken... Brilliant books by @LouieStowell.bsky.social Award-winning Audiobooks awesomely read by @benwillbond.bsky.social Great fun for kids (and adults - After all, what's the point of being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes?) youtu.be/ytpRoXbbR00?...

Advert seen today: "Have you got a whisky collection that needs insuring?" Erm, along with 99.98% of the population - No... Tbh, any whisky that enters my house doesn't last long enough to count as a collection...

I am lucky to have a signed edition of Bob Mortimer's The Hotel Avocado... (Thanks - @bobmort.bsky.social 🤩) ...so now I have to buy another copy so I can read it as I don't want to spoil it (which is sadly, something I'm really very good at!! 🙄)

Some b*st*rd has sold my email address to scammers. Never seen so many scamming emails in my life than over the last week. Why do they bother though?! They are so obviously a scam even Mr Bean wouldn't fall for them.

Christmas pudding mix is created... now it has to sit overnight & then steamed tomorrow for many, many hours 🙄

This song... awh... pure soulgasm Essential listening tonight ❤️‍🔥 Gnarls Barkley - Crazy youtube.com/watch?v=-N4j...

We recently added Lento to #YouTube. You can listen to the latest two episodes and watch shorts from quiet places. Like and subscribe for more episodes coming soon. ❤️

I have a feeling Christmas puddings will be set in motion this weekend ...Not literally obvs but yes, the ingredients are in & much stout has been bought. Such a shame so little actually goes in the pudding. Someone will just have to drink the rest... 😋

Sorry to bother you all but I feel it's vital to let as many folks as possible know abt this fine work. So brilliantly funny I'll sing its praises to all & everyone unfortunate enough to meet me -do listen if you can Double Science by Ben Willbond & Justin Edwards www.audible.co.uk/pd/B004EVO4T...
