Saw this during the interval in Romeo & Juliet at Lytham Hall

I’m a big fan of The Rest is Politics podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. Alastair Campbell has had a tree of the week on his Twitter Feed, so I thought I might steal the idea.

    Just 7 weeks to go. Settled on Logrono as the start point and booked a hotel, so we can stop wondering if that’s the right decision now! I did a trial pack last week and the pack weighed in at 10.5kg (TOO MUCH!!). We did a 20km circuit at Rivington on Easter Monday and I…

  1. Beautiful trees! And a very cultured time you're having. You'll probably enjoy Rory's book "Politics on the Edge". Brilliant read….though you may already have read it knowing you šŸ˜Š xx
