Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻 In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year. Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it. ***** "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude. My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found. At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me. At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul. At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being. At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible. Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever. I’m writing this to tell you something simple: Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again. Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless. You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours. With love and gentleness, Patricia Routledge ***** Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

This father and son won the weekend

I’m back and quite enjoying X again - seems like my feed is finally pulling through my favourite book people again too! Maybe it’s time for a little giveaway I think 🤔 Like and share if you are up for a giveaway!

“To one player who is no longer with us but is so much a part of what we are, - Dillon Quirke.” Lovely tribute from @TipperaryGAA captain Ronan Maher. “We carried your spirit with us every step of the way.” #Tipperary #AllIreland #hurling #AllIrelandHurlingFinal

Live on the BBC. This is class.

Okay my lovelies, #WatchingYou is out on August 28, and I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually a pretty darned good book. But because I don't have Richard Osman's marketing budget, Louise Minchin's TV platform, Richard Coles' publicist or any other celebrity writer's stranglehold on the book world, it's hard to reach readers. So if you wonderful book social media folks could help me out, I'd be eternally grateful. You can pre-order this anywhere online (but signed/dedicated paperback copies are available through @Steyningbooks). Or just RT this for me/get it from your local library/tell your friends/leave a review when you've read it...every small action helps keep this writer and this book afloat. Thanks all. Raising a teacup to you today!

20 year old Crystal Palace player Romain Esse, was subbed on in the 79th minute, but after making a mistake which led to Liverpools goal he was subbed off again. 😫 Salah showed a touch of class, consoling him before celebrating the title win. 👏❤️

You won't regret going through this thread 🧵 1. You have a village even when you don’t know it.

I have lost my flute, either on a Dublin Bus or on an Irish Rail / Enterprise service from Belfast to Dublin earlier today. I attach some images similar to my flute case. My flute case has a gold Meitheal Irish Trad Music Summer School sticker on one side
