A quick straw poll. Who remembers the ~ wild ~ popularity of Sailor Jerry UK rum in the mid-2000s and the ensuing rage when they changed the formula? Well I kept a pre-recipe-change bottle. I opened it recently and I have THOUGHTS. Who wants my hot take on this🍹

For @TheWildestSite, I investigated whether my cat is, in fact, ignoring me when I call its name. You'll have to click to find out the answer😼 Thanks to Cats Protection and Wanda McCormick for their insights 🔍 thewildest.co.uk/cat-behaviour/…

Field was a prime suspect in the disappearance of David Spencer and Patrick Warren, who I wrote extensively about in 2016. You can read about the boys who became known as the Milk Carton Kids here: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

On the hunt for an expert on all things pertaining to history of #Wimbledon. Anyone in my network fit the bill? #journorequest 🎾

Still looking for a #Wimbledon historian to answer a question for a potential feature - there must be someone out there who can help? #journorequest

I'm gonna read this on a sun lounger this week, not only because my submission made it as a nib but because enough time has now passed that I am nostalgic for the mad life of a local newspaper reporter. I think I'm going to nod and laugh a LOT.

This was such a fun column to write. If you’re in London this week, pick up a copy of City A.M. magazine to read how useless I used to be in the kitchen or click the link if you can’t wait 🍗🔪 Thanks to Steve Dinneen for the commission. cityam.com/the-recipes-my…

Journalists tell other people's stories for a living and it's rare we get to tell ours, which is why this book from Alex Morrison is such fun. A real nostalgia trip full of familiar names and peak weirdness only found in local journalism. I was momentarily misty-eyed.

Ignore that I look like I'm trying to sell you my debut cook book; enjoy my tale of avoiding ultra-processed foods for BBC Food instead. Was it hard? Was I surprised? No spoilers, I'm here for the clicks👇Tnx to British Dietetic Association & Nichola Ludlam-Raine for input🍴 bbc.co.uk/food/articles/…

Happy freelance birthday to me 🎵 Second year in 280 chars: Bylines in 10 publications (link in profile), late payments, Covid, editors saying yes, editors saying no, stress, variety, Fridays off. Going into year three feeling🙃✨💛 And obviously... if you need a freelancer, hmu.
