Beautiful ending to a perfect day at ⁦Althorp⁩ - we celebrated the 90th birthday of my father’s first cousin today: 110 people came to toast a marvellous lady. Her advice on how to get through life? “There’s no time for dithering.” Amen to that.

Grateful to ⁦Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue⁩ for tackling a blaze in an empty ⁦Althorp⁩ industrial unit this afternoon. Eyewitnesses heard bangs, & saw “youths in balaclavas” running & biking away - then saw the smoke and flames. Thankfully no one hurt, & the trees seem safe.

I’ve planted 2 vineyards at ⁦Althorp⁩ recently - the larger one (next to where ⁦Prof Cat Spencer FSA💀⁩ & her archaeologists excavated the Roman villa) is being extended. Here we are digging four feet (1.2m) down to lay in the drainage.

Tim the Peacock - Althorp’s most magnificent resident - is the inspiration for my topic on this week’s episode of The Rabbit Hole Detectives podcast. Every time I see Tim in full plumage, I am amazed that Nature dared to come up with such an astonishingly beautiful creature.

Early morning manoeuvres at ⁦Althorp⁩ today - adult geese beginning to show their goslings round the Park. The warm weather this spring has played its part in ensuring a particularly successful breeding season.

Several families of freshly hatched goslings enjoying the sunshine on Althorp’s Round Oval Lake this afternoon. Wild greylag and Canada geese flock here to lay their eggs each year. A peaceful spot for them.
