April 18th - always a bright day

No hail storms and no mini tornadoes. For a bit. Rejoice.

I long for an April like that one in 2020...for the warm sunny weather at least.

Enjoying a week in West Cornwall. Next stop St Ives Brewery

Aside from brewing... Fishing, farming and tourists too - they're industries that count

Cheerio Cornwall's Pirate FM too

Fascinating/ leftfield hire for new boss of BBC Sport: Alex Kay-Jelski
Top print and digital journalist by trade with impressive career: The Times, Daily Mail, New York Times & now ed-in-chief at The Athletic (which is great). But no obvious TV/video content/rights experience.

Looking across Carbis Bay

Time off with these friends in West Cornwall

*including a visitor from Exmoor

Crossing the Tamar and clocking off

This again...
To Pelican Inn
We are now approaching Stonehouse.

Oxford's spires ... and we mostly missed the rain.

The intense vibrant colours are only the second sensory experience to hit you at this unlikely burst of spring life in the (sheltered) corner of the railway station.
The first is - bang! - an amazing sweet aroma reminiscent of summer. And the clocks haven't gone forward yet.

Waiting for the sun

Out of the window of the first train - solar farm near Thame, Oxfordshire

Lift off! Thrilled, over the moon to be appointed BBC News's first News Editor for Streaming - creating single story streams for BBC News (UK) site/app, BBC iPlayer and BBC.com Running a brilliantly creative team and working with others experimenting in this space

Reflecting on the proceeds of a midweek haul in Cheltenham. Somehow my first trip to Favourite Beers, while only intending to pop into the florist next door.....

The Abbey, Tewkesbury
Proud of its peregrines which live in tower.

Feeling much lighter by 6am
But - my ears! - the big difference is the amount of birdsong. Spring is here...

Dear Salopian Brewery - idea for you: ask Cathy Dennis and Dancin' Danny D to very slightly re-record the chorus to their 1991 Top 20 smash and use extensively for promotional purposes.
