The moment millions of people in the UK discovered that their expensive cameras are phones.

They came and shared their shades, whilst their long shadows stretched across parched fileds. Contemplating the temporary shielding of the fiery sun by our kind old moon, checking memories captured in selfie mode. They left as they arrived, silently. Mesmerised by the natural world. #Eclipse2026

Come on Potts, we're going home. #Pets4Pets #Eclipse2026 #SolarEclipse #BassetHound

I'm all eclipse ready. Not sure how this supposed to work though. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026

I can't wait for the moon to block out the sun for a bit. My garden thermometer has gone into meltdown, saying it's 50°C at the moment. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026

This hummingbird hawk-moth regularly visits our Salvia 'Hot Lips'. It's not easy to film, but if I'm patient I'm able to capture footage like this. ❤️ #Moths #Butterflies #Hertfordshire

A Jersey tiger moth just landed on my buxus. So beautiful. #Moth #Nature #Hertfordshire

This oak bush-cricket spends its nights patrolling my roses in search of smaller inverterbrates. Instead of chirping like other crickets, it communicates by drumming its hind legs against leaves to attract a mate. Its super-long antennae, twice as long as its body, probed the warm midnight air.

Come on Potts and Dig Dog, we're going home. #BassetHound #Dachshund #Brancaster #Norfolk #Beach #Sunset

Nanny loved gardening and pink fluffy socks, so we found a way to remember her every time we open the shed.

Mrs Potts has found a nice cool spot in the garden. #BassetHound

Shopping robin. Wait till you see his bill. [I filmed this at my local garden centre] #Birds

Feeling a little saw now.

My new coffee machine is getting on my nerves now. It's grinding me down.

I use voice commands when taking close-up photos of insects, such as this common blue butterfly and an azure damselfly. I must take care not to scare people when I'm one side of a hedgerow shouting "SMILE" to take an in-focus shot. Other options are cheese or shoot, which make matters worse.

Don't get caught short in Fakenham on Thursdays.

I've been trying out the new body-heat App. It's so hot, I think I'll make some cold-calls.

Mrs Potts and Dig Dog like Jude's Ice Cream for Dogs - not just because each purchase generates funds for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. #CauseMarketing #PawsMarketing #BassetHound #Dachshund

Had these for dinner last night. My lips are still stinging.

Older dogs still wanna have fun. Mrs Potts is nearly sixteen, but that's not holding her back :) #Pets4Pets #BassetHound

I'll be posting my Christmas cards from here this year.

Me: "Excuse me, I'm looking for Honey." Aldi store assistant: "Follow me." (Smiles, points to a shelf full of honey) Me: "No, no, Honey, my wife, HONEY. She went looking for bread, but now I can't find her!" Aldi store assistant: "Ha ha ha, brilliant!" I think I'm turning into The Two Ronnies.

When it's raining, and you've run out of liver pâté to tempt your dogs out into the garden for a wee. If you know, you know. #Pets4Pets

This pot of whisked chickpeas, tahini, and lemon doesn't have a label. It wants to remain anonhummous.

Nice weather for cacti. #Heatwave

The temperature in my garden reached 50°c at 15.44, Monday 25th May, 2026.

The Fabulous Three Doggies are rehearsing their song and dance routine that they hope will be chosen to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027. I think this would win. #Pets4Pets

If you keep waiting until you feel 'ready' to do something new that you think you'll enjoy, you may never do it. That can bring about feelings of regret, and even guilt. Sometimes you just have to push through the gorse to enjoy the view. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #Pets4Pets
