My new book is out now: it's "entertaining, highly convivial" (The Independent, Books of the Month) and it "does for cake what Bill Bryson did for travel" (BBC R5); Prue Leith calls it "Quirky and fun". It will make a lovely Christmas present...

Puffin loves to stick his head out of the car window, and has therefore been equipped with Doggles. A strong Muttley vibe, for those who recall

We’re loving this. Fatso looks American but is made in South London with cocoa from Luker in Colombia and lots of tasty, crunchy inclusions. And it’s CHONKY

A terrific career, a fine and courageous reporter, who for a time shared the relative peace and calm of the BBC newsroom with my father. Congratulations John

I’m celebrating (if that’s quite the right word) the 60th anniversary of my arrival at the BBC in 1996. Tomorrow (Tues) at 9 pm BBC Two will mark it with a documentary, which will then be available on iPlayer. It’s been made by the brilliant Simon Lister, and does me proud.

This photograph depicts a river and a former pub. You can see them both clearly. Where are we?

If you’re up in Letcombe Regis and feeling low, take a walk on the Downs. It’s easy enough: just go up this road, down the next left, up the hill and down the end and you’ll be up high on the Downs. Simple

One of the most delicious dark bars I have tasted in ages. It is new from @Firetree_UK and a departure from their Pacific islands range. Cocoa here is from the fab Koko Kamili centre in Tanzania and the flavours are amazing - dark, mellow, loads of sharp and sweet fruit. Amazing

As the Royal Ballet School marks its centenary, here are lovely photographs of 10 alumni who went on to greatness: when they were stars, and also when they were unknown students at the school. telegraph.co.uk/dance/what-t… @RoyalBalletSch @TheRoyalBallet @DarceyOfficial @Wayne_Sleep

The Royal Ballet School students who went on to greatness

Celebrating its centenary on October 8-10, the institution has produced a vast number of world-class dancers

Great news (though I had my fingers crossed for oil)

Good news. The team digging a borehole at Paddington Rec have struck water at 100m depth but tell me they will keep going a further 50m. This will keep the park supplied if we have another dry summer.

The subtle chequered flag motif hints at the racing past of ace Cleethorpes chocolate maker Duffy Sheardown, a former F1 engineer for - among others - Ayrton Senna. Duffy is a lovely man who makes terrific bars, vroom vroom

Many people remember the acrobatic dancing newsreaders in the great Morecambe & Wise Christmas show, but Dad also made a solo appearance with Eric and Ern 52 years ago in October 1974 for a sketch in which he visits the flat to interview Ern about the plays what he writes. Fab
