Flashy mohicans, skyscraper hair, rainbows and unicorns, what a great effort from Manor field Juniors for #MadHairDay St. Michael's Hospice. On to the next school for me!

Some great hairdos at Oakridge Infants and Juniors! The creativity I've seen so far today is mighty impressive. #MadHairDay

Personally a big fan of the hair styled to look like food. Check out these doughnut hairstyles from Oakridge Infants and Juniors. #MadHairDay

A few more #madhairday hairdos from Marnel infant school. Particularly funky rainbow afro was a highlight. St. Michael's Hospice

A few of the smashing St. Michael's Hospice folks down at Festival Place for #madhairday. Be sure to pop down and say hello!

So this is what I've been up to today, out taking pictures of all the #madhairday action that I could get to. Lots of schools, lots of hairdos, all of them were rather excellent. It's all in aid of St. Michael's Hospice and I look forward to hearing the totals! basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/17437235.…

Fantastic exhibition on at the Basingstoke Discovery Centre for the next two weeks. Below 20/20 is a photographic exhibition with photos taken by visually impaired people in Hampshire. Some really wonderful work on display. @LosingMySightUK

A mouse has been captured tidying up bits and bobs in a pensioner's shed. Stephen McKears from Gloucestershire says he couldn't understand how small metal items were returning to their box every night. So he set up a special night-time camera to find out 🐭 📹

I went to see Made in Dagenham, the Musical last night by @BAOS10. What a great show, with fantastic acting, brilliant songs and a great story. It's on until Saturday evening, and I recommend that you go along! Read my review here or in the paper tomorrow: basingstokegazette.co.uk/leisure/genera…

Oh, I seem to have a large pig in the back of my car! 🤔 #ArkDay

It's the #longestdayoftheyear and the perfect day for fundraising as Ark Day begins in earnest. We'll be following throughout the day on our live blog. I'll be out and about this afternoon to cover some of the fundraising. #arkday basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/17721276.…

Nip down to the second floor of Festival Place and help fill Moneypenny up with a painted square to help Ark Day. I'm sure she doesn't want to leave anything exposed! #ArkDay

Woah, thankfully no one was hurt, but that was quite a spill! Great effort from everybody for Armed Forces Day as always. We've got a spread of great pictures from the day in this week's Gazette, look out for it this Thursday!
