Your News

Post categories: All stories in production

What's your news? It won't be Reginald Bosanquet reading it.

Knee replacement surgery. Breastfeeding. Doomed tadpoles.

Such is the gentle ebb and flow of our weekly Your News bulletin. Occasionally, this rhythm comes to a juddering halt. We were stopped in our tracks by this sentence of news sent in by a listener:

"The young man who spent six months in jail for cutting my throat at the end of July will be back living with me in May: brilliant."

Your news might not be as striking, but we still value it. Send us a dozen or so words about any current event in your life. Email or leave a comment. We won't read your name out on air.

The morning has gone well so far, but I have yet to decide how to explain to my wife the presence of a sperm whale in our Lounge.

On Monday evening at 10.15 I looked out of my sitting room window to see the local poacher and his dog heading for the (pheasant-rich) farmland.

Today I drove from Spring to Summer coming down from the north-east to Surrey - suddenly there are moon-daisies on the verges, and at least 20 red kites above the M40 where it crosses the Chilterns.

"Do you have any other children?" She asked me as we waited at the school gates. "No" I replied. How do I tell her I have one buried 200yards away in the Church grave yard and another somewhere out there with his adoptive family.

Today I hoovered up enough dog hair from the carpet to knit a small yorkshire terrier. I am looking for a pattern online.
