The first of the season. A rhubarb fool, methinks.

Taken when we had that brief but glorious spell of something they call sunshine

We're budding and blossoming at the mill.

A reminder that there is a new self-catering group rate available. (If I'm closed because I'm off somewhere, self-catering is still a possibility.)

Thanks again to all my guests last weekend on the #poetry #podcast .

We are halfway through Season 8 & return on Saturday 13th April episode 9.

Till now enjoy the first 8 episodes on most podcast platforms 🙏💙

A river (ok, a stream) runs through it. Glorious day at the old mill.

If you didn't see it, we're now offering a self-catering group rate.

SEE: the-river-mill.co.uk

And this, coming from one of the best people I know. Thank you.

The River Mill is now offering a self-catering group rate. See the link. Please note, this is for group bookings only. 3 night minimum stay. Groups of writers preferred, but this isn't essential. However: No hen or stag parties. the-river-mill.co.uk/group-rate

At their peak flowering. Welcome, Spring. the-river-mill.co.uk

It's not quite spring, but the light is already spilling spring-like into the mill.

Tonight's dessert at the mill: white chocolate cheesecake with a dark chocolate topping, and strawberries. the-river-mill.co.uk/availability-a…

At the Bermudian Cenotaph. The memorial to those who fought in both World Wars. On a previous visit I was surprised and profoundly moved to discover my father is included. (C. S.: Carey Sylvester)
