Some questions for journalists to ask at the 4pm briefing: Did the Cummings family stop at a service station or any other place for food, drink or loo break on their 250-mile journey? If so, where & is there CCTV footage showing how many people they possibly infected?

Last week my Dad (95) was asked twice by his practice coordinator if he wanted to sign a DNR. He refused and told her why. Within 48 hrs a letter signed by his GP arrived informing him the GP had overruled and signed on Dad's behalf. 48 hrs later Dad is a broken man.Given up.

THANK YOU to the person who kindly opened the gate, let our cattle out and then took the chain lock home with them. Thank you for disturbing my sleep, putting my calves in with the bulls, for making me late for work & for stealing the lock. I AM VERY GRATEFUL.😫

This afternoon I am writing again. I sit in my very well stocked room of books about sheep and the Lake District- can’t fit them all in the picture.

This is Willo. She likes to awoo while she eats. Tonight’s meal was worthy of a gentler, but perhaps more meaningful, second awoo. 13/10

'Underwater Forests' could be key to beating #ClimateChange says Sir David Attenborough “Kelp forests can absorb & lock up carbon just as effectively as woodland..We’re able to create this habitat on a scale that simply couldn’t be replicated on land"   telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10…
