There seem to be lots of book stacks & layouts of book choices on tables as recommended reads for 2026 or this month or any other reason. So I thought I'd add to the recommended book stack with 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', published last week. #books

Thank you @Countrylifemag for the lovely review of 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', which launched last week, describing it as a 'gentle book'. Just right for reading by the fire on a winter's evening. #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds #naturewriting #slowtravel

As many have said, what a great story!
10 Nov 2025
What a great story!!! 😃🚘 In 1966, 22-year-old Kathleen bought a VW Beetle she named “Annie.” 57 years and 400k miles later, Kathleen (now 78) still drives her to work every day. When VW heard her story, they fully restored Annie for free. When Kathleen saw her again, she said, “She’s my family. She’s just old, not useless.”

Ahem, is this an AI-produced article? Surely no-one plans a visit without checking maps and various sources to verify details, especially in remote areas. The perils of letting AI plan your next trip bbc.com/travel/article/20250… via @bbc_travel

The Gloria Funicular in Lisbon in June this year. The cars balance each other, so seeing the footage showing one car right at the lower end of the short line suggests the other car, which crashed, possibly came adrift when it was nearing the top. #lisbon

Many thanks to Sarah-Jayne @BlenheimPalace for a show-round of the magnificent, and recently opened, ‘Rooftop View’. Seeing the rooftop sculptures and architecture up close was a memorable experience, and very well worth searching out. @AGTOUK

'A Taste of River Cruising' Day 6 on the Douro. A relaxing morning cruising towards Regua, through yet more impressive scenery, and locks, before taking a coach to the Quinta da Avessada for lunch, with vineyards stretching in every direction. @RivieraTravelUK @AGTOUK
