Mainly here for #TheArchers
Will get around to finishing this profile eventually...

There are times in #TheArchers when Emma sounds exactly like her mum. The scene where she was trying to tell a disinterested Fallon the gossip about Alistair & Denise was one of those.

Not sure Paul is being puritanical, just very immature. Lily & Ben are both about the same age as Paul & both have a much more nuanced, realistic view of relationships than he does. #TheArchers

Not related to #TheArchers, but I'm looking for advice... I've been the opticians (free eye test, yay! 👩‍🦳). Does anyone here have varifocals? Would you recommend them?

Next-door neighbours' ash trees coming down today 😟. It will completely change the bottom of our garden.

Our village was the first item on BBC Points West this evening. I won't be complaining about far-fetched plots in #TheArchers any time soon... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excitement on our village Facebook group this morning 😯

Bomb disposal called to Timsbury over 'suspicious items'www.bbc.co.uk One person is in custody after the emergency services were called out to the village of Timsbury.

This afternoon I found myself doing the weirdest & most nerve-wracking thing I've done for a while. Went to weed the veg patch & found a 2ft grass snake well & truly tangled in the plastic netting covering the carrots. I had to cut it loose with dissection scissors 😬 1/2

Expedition completed. Eight days, about 100 miles walked, 84 miles of official Hadrian's Wall Path plus a few extra bits. Finished on Tuesday, home now, a bit knackered 😁

Ambridge, the only place in the UK that could do with more rain... 🙄 #TheArchers

Update, someone at #TheArchers has finally got their act together & the teasers are now in the usual place on the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Not everyone likes the teasers/spoilers, but for those who do, the ones for next week which are missing from #TheArchers website are available on the Radio Times radio listings pages. www.radiotimes.com/radio/radio-...

Quizzed this morning by a friend who's tuned in to #TheArchers this week after not listening for about 3 months. Friend: 'So Alice is back on the booze?' Me: 'Yes' Friend: 'And she drove while drunk and crashed into someone?' Me: 'No...'🙄

Been reading some old synopses & I discovered Lexi was only around in Ambridge for just over 2 years. It seems like it was much longer. #TheArchers

I saw Michael Sheen in Magor motorway services on the M4 this morning. I thought you might like to know 🙂 (I didn't speak to him obviously).

Susan reminded Joy she sold Alice 'the bottle'. Thereby reminding listeners there was more than one bottle. #TheArchers

Keri Davies wrote this week's #TheArchers, so I'd expect him to take part in tomorrow's Tweetalong (X-along?). Can someone who's still on Twitter/X just ask him at which bridge the accident took place? It would save us amateur sleuths a lot of bother 🤣.

Right, I felt we needed some annotated maps. I wasn't sure which one would be most useful so I've done both the Magnetic North & the Archers Addicts ones (next 2 posts). Initially I was fairly certain the crash was at possible site 1, but now I'm not so sure. 1/3 #TheArchers

Just noticed rather belatedly it's a Keri Davies week. He's always keen on a bit of Whitehall farce. I suppose we should be grateful no ferrets were involved. #TheArchers

June Spencer is 105 today. Hooray!!! #thearchers

Back in the day I was gripped by Roy, Kate, John & Hayley's love lives. Then later by Will, Emma & Ed & even by Tom & Alice's generation. But somehow I find it difficult to summon any interest in the love lives of the current younger characters. Is it because I'm getting old? #TheArchers

Fallon's 39th birthday on the 19th of this month. What will Harrison do? #TheArchers

Cider with ice? Really? #TheArchers

Today, while helping me migrate to a new* phone, OH managed to accidentally delete all my WhatsApp messages 🙄. As I result I have changed my views on the statements of some politicians 😮 *I say new, it's our son's old one.

Is the missing meat plot reminding anyone else of the Eddie Grundy dodgy meat sales storyline of yesteryear? #TheArchers

So, the Rochelle mystery continues. We must be getting close to a reveal surely. #TheArchers

I like this theory. #TheArchers

Theory: the address was correct, and the man who answered the door IS Rochelle. #TheArchers

For those who wanted to see the map. I'm still confused about the site of the accident. I think it was at the narrow bridge but I'm not certain. Other opinions are welcome! #TheArchers bsky.app/profile/ebba...

Yes please Brenda, show us the map!

It looks like George's conscience isn't going to get the better of him anytime soon 😒. Hopefully the Borchester Echo reporter will ask him how he happened to be at the scene & someone will start to realise his story doesn't add up. #TheArchers

Pip & Kirsty said Rex's boat might have been damaged by parts from Mick's car. Except, according to the official Borsetshire map, the Am flows the other way...🙄 (I'm not 100% certain where the accident took place but all the bridges in Ambridge are downstream of Rex's boat) #TheArchers

Um, what is this? I thought I'd left the idiots behind on Twitter 🙄☹️
