It says a lot about the world we live in that you have to choose between a project you've nurtured for years and showing kindness for other human beings. Wishing you all the best for whatever comes next.

My daughter left her Spotify account logged in on our TV while she did her DofE expedition back in April, so I did what any self-respecting dad would do. Payoff finally came today.

Why singing is surprisingly good for your health From boosting the brain to reducing pain, joining others in song can bring some wide-ranging benefits.

Just another reason to make 2026 the year you join a choir!🎶 And for those of us who are "too online", @choiroftheearth.com is fantastic - all the same benefits but no going out in the cold, no social anxiety, and you can sing your heart out in your PJs! #choralsky

Leonard and Hungry Paul Quiet lives, big hearts. A gentle, meandering tale of friendship, board games and finding your way in the world. Starring Alex Lawther, Laurie Kynaston and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell.

Finished watching Leonard and Hungry Paul this evening and it was such a beautifully told story of friendship, love, grief, family and quirkiness, told with warmth and humour (narrated by Julia Roberts no less!). Watch if you can: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Our Musical Director Ben, lives in Bristol... the home of the pirate voice (Blackbeard was from there you know!) & as Ben says, it’s amazing what the voice can do when you distract the brain

I hate this narrative that someone genuinely lovely could never win off their own bat. Richard is nice, he's funny, he's a real gentleman and he's genuine. He deserved to win and owes zero thanks to that horrid narcissist and her minions #bbuk #bbll

I'm sorry but how is it ok for Caroline to kiss Richard on the mouth without consent - someone she has insulted and bullied - and especially someone who has said they are asexual? Imagine the sexes were reversed. Just horrible. #bbuk #bbll
