If ever you feel slightly despairing of the state of the world, please give #CafeHope a listen on @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds. Today’s ep is an awesome woman who’s supporting young mothers in so many ways… including, a free laundrette

I don’t spend a lot of time on here these days, but I wanted to give a massive shout out to @CrossCountryUK train staff who managed to find my godson (on his way up north to stay with us) and give him some drinks and snacks after he forgot his bag of provisions. 👏👏👏
I think I’m done with this malarkey for now. Goodbye friends. Goodbye bots. Stay safe out there.

A tale of two counties this morning. I just about made it in from snowy Cheshire but getting past Perthshire impossible for @gordonsmart - @SimonOKing on your weather and @ornamerchant on your travel here @bbc5live breakfast
Bring it on 2025. Also saw some white narcissus flowering in Devon. The weather may be sh*t, the politics is toxic, and it’s back to work/school tomorrow (unless you’re there already)… but we’re on the upward curve to Spring.
Join us @bbc5live breakfast @gordonsmart
Completely unintentional matchy matchy snowy outfits today with @BenThompsonTV - although not much of the white stuff outside @BBCBreakfast HQ.
How’s it looking where you are? ❄️
Over and out from the @bbc5live breakfast team for 2024. Thank you all so much for being on board with us, especially it our slightly more eccentric moments. Looking forward to more in the new year! Happy Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Merry Bachaché!
Morning @bbc5live breakfast family! Happy #ChristmasEve from me and @rickedwards1 (note the intellectual disparity in our presents for each other).
Send us your Christmas Eve traditions please. Or you can guess what time Rick’s turkey arrived this morning. 🤔 🦃

Farewell for now to the wonderful @bbc5live Breakfast team who make the whackiest ideas come to life, who make earlies fun and we all genuinely LOVE eating breakfast 🫶
I promise the bucket hat and whistle are coming to all major tournaments going forwards… now, time to sleep
Merry #Smugmas - we're celebrating the people who've Got Christmas Done already - no shame here. It's a smugness amnesty. Tell us how you've got it all wrapped up @bbc5live breakfast @rickedwards1
Ok fellas, just one last push to Christmas (while also acknowledging the amazing people working throughout…)
@bbc5live breakfast tomorrow - we’ll be talking #PremLeague, GDP figures, foster carer shortage, travel disruption, sober(ish) Christmas, and the perfect cheese board 🧀
The Café Hope Christmas Dinner is out now on @BBCSounds. It is JOYOUS and life-affirming. Do give it a listen if you can. Thank you to our amazing guests Dee, Shashi, Justin, Kevin, Nicola and Lemn. 🩵 🎄

In My Opinion: “We all know musicals are rubbish.”
William Sitwell from The Telegraph says musicals draw you in with a few good songs but the stories themselves are disappointing.
What do you think?
Taking on the doyenne of the baking world is what the #UpDownQuiz can drive you to. Loved having you on Team Rach - thank you☘️@bbc5live
Where are the currants and breadcrumbs @richardosman @bbc5live @rickedwards1 @rachelburden ?? Delia stitched me right up!
While Christmas is a time for family… it can also be a time for old family dynamics to bubble up. We’ll explore this in our seasonal stress relief series tomorrow. Do you turn into a teenager as soon as you return home? Irritating siblings? And what about the finger runners?
So exciting times in @bbc5live breakfast HQ. We’re launching our new #UpDownQuiz today. @rickedwards1 is dressed accordingly (or maybe he just hasn’t been to bed since #SPOTY?)….
Also in the show - is it right to build on the GREY belt? And tackling homelessness.
