Overheard at Carlisle train station:
'Are we in England now?
Nah, we're still in Scotland, pal'.
Didn't want to ruin his day so said nothing. Believe, friend. Believe! 😝
Had a glorious week on a beautiful canal boat. A few hairy moments when I took the wheel (tiller?) but I am now a salty sea dog and ask that you call me Captain Caroline from now on. Back to reality and the day job tomorrow. Join me on

I bought tickets for Green Day 5 YEARS AGO as a present for my baby sister. It's finally happening! Am I too old for this? Absolutely yes. Is it brilliant? Absolutely YES.

It finally happened. Last week I was 'angry person on

with their hand up.' Cool experience despite getting pied by Fiona Bruce. Thanks to my friends and family for tirelessly roasting me for this. 🤣😜
Well, well, well, Hayfever. We meet again. Still a relentless bastard, I see? What's that? I've not grown out of you? Right. Well, two can play that game. Hayfever, meet antihistamine. He's a jolly little fellow who will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

As someone who likes to 'ave it large and is somewhat renowned for 'avin it large, I am very much looking forward to 'avin it large with my closest acquaintances soon.
I love this train ride! Carlisle-Hexham. It's always a bit rowdy, spirits are high, cider is being drunk, I'm enjoying the views and listening to Verdi.
#traintravel
Travelling by train today, we are the questionable filling of a strike sandwich. A thrill, a gamble, anxiety and hysteria levels are high. As per, Jack enthralled by my company. God speed, fellow train travellers! 🚆🎅

I am finally about to watch the Happy Valley finale. I have been looking forward to this for days. I've avoided spoilers. I may cry. See you on the other side!

Maaaaaaate. Love a Partridge comparison but this is not it! I'd listen back (on BBC Sounds, you'll have the app I'm sure) you might learn summat! 🔥🔥🔥
Here’s Sam the sheepdog, she was rescued by Cumbria Ore Mines Rescue after two nights stuck down a disused mine.
@carolinerbrtsn
spoke to Sam’s owner Eddy.
Unpopular opinion: never liked a calzone. No need for a foldy pizza. And honey/syrup on pizza is a big no. Behave.
#britainstoptakeaways
(yes I love this trashy show, well done the bbc.)
It finally happened...we're birders now. One day, you're waking up in a skip after a mad one with no trousers on, like Winnie the Pooh. The next, you're comparing the focal range of binoculars.
It was a joy reliving the
@Lionesses
win with the amazing

Ever have those moments where you cannot for the life of you remember something? Just had that on air where I couldn't remember the name of one of the most famous men in the world. The only name my brain was coming up with was John Lewis. 🤣
This little fella visited us every night at the windowsill. We put out a few peanuts, at least 3 different pine martens. So precious!

This is a great opportunity for journalists to work in beautiful Cumbria! With me!
Let's be colleagues! I'm fun, and my personal hygiene is moderate to good.
Initially we'll make awkward small talk in the
@BBC_Cumbria
kitchen, but we could become BEST FRIENDS. Tempted? APPLY!
If you’re a great journalist who loves Cumbria, then this could be the job for you! We’re looking for two journalists to join our team at BBC Radio Cumbria.

The FEROCITY in which the lady at Sainsbos repeatedly tapped the 'No ID required, customer clearly over 18' button was frankly rude. Who do I complain to?

wowed the team with her Tik Tok dance. Don’t try this at home!
It's got to be Finland, Italy or France. Thanks for the nightmares Ukraine and Germany. Now for the best part, the voting! To my shame I have a very unpatriotic bet going with a colleague...

I don't watch The Traitors, and as a result find myself friendless and destitute, but is it basically a big BBC game of Wink Murder? Or Winky Murderer as I called it? With added Claudia Winkleman. Ooh, Winkleman Murder!

Massive spider has just moved into my bathtub. I guess it's his bath now. I hope he likes Papa Roach's back catalogue cos that's what I sing in the shower 🕷

🚨Some personal news🚨
I made a rhubarb crumble! It is vegan, and I'm told delicious (I think eating hot fruit is bad and wrong and a clear cry for help).
WHOLESOME CONTENT!
Happy Halloween to all who celebrate my favourite day of the year! We're about to watch The Omen after some 'blood soup'. I've gone as a Vampyre strumpet, and Jack has gone as one of his existential crises. 🎃👻🧙♀️
Worst. Shower. Ever. Had to share it with a ginormous spider. Then a massive MOTH jumped out from behind the Palmolive. Honestly would've preferred a visit from Norman Bates in his maw's clobber.
