This is Nutmeg, the newest (final?) member of the flock. She’s Strawberry’s niece, so fitted in straight away, and every bit as fluffy as she looks!

I've hidden these bad boys around Wembley Stadium before doors open (on Saturday, 8 July 2023)!
Head to Twitter () or Threads () for clues, and make sure to send a photo if you find one...

What a wonderful place - Malahide Castle and Gardens - Dublin.
Next stop - The Netherlands!
I understand people are getting invitations to join some kind of private live chat. Nothing to do with me - it's a scam.

Barcelona, Madrid, and Porto.
Thank you to all of those who made it out to see us and accommodated us, especially those who battled through the cascading Madrid rain!
What an incredible experience to be at the Primavera Sound, Primavera Sound Porto, and to be back with Blur.

I have updated my Rowntree Radio playlist - check it out here https://daverowntree.lnk.to/rowntreeradio
Nessa Barrett - 'BANG BANG!'
Barrett flaunts her innermost demons in this deliciously thrashy 2 minutes.
Charlie Cunningham - 'Frame'
The title track from Cunningham’s gorgeous new album. Lush, understated,
and straight from the heart.
Olivia Dean - 'Dive'
An unashamed summer love classic to whet your appetite ahead
of Dean’s debut album out in June 2023. Slick, but in a good way
