Anneka Rice Instagram - Was worried there were too many pics on instagram of me looking smiley as, let’s face it, life isn’t all bright and shiny, in fact a lot of it is shit, so here’s what happened when my easel crashed down on my head … #reallife
Anneka Rice Instagram - Tried to tell Son 3 last night that 35 years ago on our first Challenge we froze over the River Thames, right behind where we were standing. We then assembled an orchestra - and Henry Mancini turned up to conduct the 1812 Overture to an ice skating and firework accompanied. In the middle of the Thames. For Children in Need. We both glazed over at this point. He thinks I am struggling with mind-altering substances. I realise talking about my career makes me sound like I have early onset dementia. #challengeanneka @bbc
Anneka Rice Instagram - I mean, what the hell? #rain #losingthewilltolive
Anneka Rice Instagram - I’ve got a penis at the end of my thumb! Local pharmacist got a bit carried away with her A & E drill…
Anneka Rice Instagram - Around this time 4 years ago I was about to arrive at #Strictly in a helicopter with a ton of hairspray and 5 inches of make-up…. to be winched into the studio in a jumpsuit, to do the ChaChaCha with Kevin Clifton. That was one hell of a Saturday night. With Dave Arch and his band singing “Anneka! You’re always on the run now” instead of Gloria! What a mind fuck! Good luck everyone tonight! #strictly #dancing #bbc1 @bbcstrictly
Anneka Rice Instagram - Always quite surreal when you have the entire Royal Family and leaders of all political parties bopping behind you! I felt it was too rude to blatantly stare ….#coronationconcert
Anneka Rice Instagram - Oh my goodness. I went to Birkenhead, near Liverpool, today, to visit our Dementia Village, built on Challenge Anneka in 2022. It is flourishing. On a piece of wasteland a team of epic volunteers, builders, craftsmen, built an entire memory village - with pub, post office, record shop, cafe, bakers, cinema, bowling lawn, landscaped gardens! We worked in the pouring rain, in a recession, it was beyond stressful - but I thought my heart would burst, visiting it in the sunshine today, seeing what a difference it has made in this Wirral community. They now have over 400 volunteers helping out. The idea is that someone with dementia can wander safely round the village, dropping in on shops, listening to their favourite record, watching a film, having a singalong in the pub, doing whatever they want. It’s liberating for them and their loved ones because on every corner, sitting in the shops, offering them a cuppa in the cafe, there are carers to help them, chat to them, play bowls with them, sing with them. Each shop is curated to trigger memories. I went down a rabbit hole of memories seeing the Green Shield Stamps in the Post Office! IT IS BRILLIANT. I would love to see this rolled out across the UK. Well done @ageuk_wirral for having such vision 🩵🩵🩵 @age_uk #dementia @alzheimersresearchuk #village #ChallengeAnneka #charity #volunteers #community #joy @channel5_tv

Anneka Rice Instagram - I seem to be in Switzerland! With a pole sticking out of my head! Oh God, this place! I’ve wanted to return since my last visit when I hung off a winch on a helicopter on top of a mountain looking for a clue! Lake Maggiore is so peaceful, surrounded by mountains and lush greens. Just bracing myself for a bike ride up a mountain. #swizerland #lakes #mountains #summer... @ascona_locarno @ticinoturismo you
Anneka Rice Instagram - Thanks son for excellent everything … #coronation
Anneka Rice Instagram - This nearly made me crash my car. Beautiful. @fortnums #adventcalendar
Anneka Rice Instagram - Yesterday I was on a chairlift in the Alps, heading to the top of a mountain. Today I seem to be on a chairlift on the Isle of Wight heading up The Needles.. With Josh Widdicombe! Blimey. The chairlift network is excellent. Caught the 06.30 from Lake Maggiore ….

Anneka Rice Instagram - Sorry everyone, need to pick your 80s brains again for my @virginradiouk shows. Jumpsuits? Who had a phone like this! Madonna or Haircut 100? Or just haircuts! Gigs? My Little Pony? I’ll give you a shout out! Thank you. You were amazing after my last request!
Anneka Rice Instagram - Had an amazing day at Hampton Court Flower Show. And look who I shared my retail opportunity with! #maryberry #hamptoncourtflowershow #shopping #flowers @rhshampton_showteam
Anneka Rice Instagram - Strictly’s about to start. My favourite bit of the whole experience was months before the show started when potential contestants were called in to dance in front of the producers. I liked this bit. Should have left it there to be honest … #strictly #weird #dancing
Anneka Rice Instagram - Aw..on this day in 1982, the first episode of a daring new show called Treasure Hunt was broadcast on Channel 4. We had a ridiculous amount of fun making the series. There were genuine near misses and true jeopardy. I ended up in A & E more than once. Flinging ourselves round the world in a helicopter without doors was thrilling though. Up till then, tv was lacking ‘live’ adventure - and definitely lacking young women calling the shots. Treasure Hunt changed the face of tv for ever! A woman centre stage of the action! It was a HUGE moment in tv history ..Nice one @Channel4 for a huge, big, daring idea! #treasurehunt #channel4 #tv #realitytv #youtube #team #crew #realityshow
Anneka Rice Instagram - OMG this Challenge. The vision, the ambition that the team @ageuk_wirral had is amazing. I’m so touched that they entrusted us with such a special project. Let’s roll this concept out across the UK! I mean it! Maybe after Anne has abseiled down The Shard (see previous post). #ChallengeAnneka #dementiaactionweek
Anneka Rice Instagram - Oh the joy of the painting tribe. Honestly, I skipped home with a goofy smile on my face today. Can I recommend you search for your local painting group - over a pub, in an arts centre, in someone’s front room - and dive in. I did this 40 years ago as an absolute beginner and the friends I’ve made through painting make my heart SING! Changed my life. True love. #painting #art #studio #group #community #friendship #love
Anneka Rice Instagram - Well this is a bit of a mind altering moment. Someone sent me this clip of me landing at an Oxford University college in 1986 on a Treasure Hunt. . I have absolutely no memory of this. Not so strange in itself EXCEPT THIS IS THE COLLEGE WHERE ONE OF MY SONS ENDED UP 30 years or so later. . All that time I visited him. Walked on that lawn. Admired the view. No idea I’d been there before! Has someone spiked my drink? Son thinks I may be actually mad. #treasure ##treasurehunt #oxford #university #helicopter
Anneka Rice Instagram - Beyond honoured to have a painting in the same exhibition as Maggi Hambling! In fact, two! It’s all part of “Maggi Hambling - Teacher”, a celebration of her teaching life. Being taught by Maggi Hambling has been life-changing and our weekly classes are a true highlight of my life. She is gruff and funny and wise and kind and I hear her voice ringing in my ears whenever I start a new painting. I met her 15 years ago when I interviewed her and I was bewitched. I asked her then and there if I could join her Master Class. She looked at me for about 10 minutes and then wrote on a stub of paper an address and ‘10am. Charcoal’. I turned up the next day and have been part of her eccentric, nurturing, creative group ever since. Every person in the groups paints in a completely different way which Maggi celebrates. There is no house style. The exhibition is at Morley Gallery 6-26 March so do come along and have a look at what we all get up to. @morleygallery #maggihambling #painting #exhibition
Anneka Rice Instagram - Went all Emma Peel on myself at the LGBT Awards on Thursday night. Thrilled to give out the Trailblazers Award. Such a great word. It implies bursting forth, changing the world. Quoted Maya Angelou, “If you want to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased’.” Drank too much Tequila. #lgbt #lgbtcommunity #legacy #trailblazer #awards
Anneka Rice Instagram - Nothing says 80s like brick phones, shoulder pads & hard hats (that might just be me).If you’re running a marathon today, or in labour, or decorating the bathroom, basically any four hour project needing a musical backdrop, join me 10-2pm on Virgin Radio 80s Plus for Madonna, Haircut 100, My Little Pony, possibly a leg warmer @virginradiouk @virginradio80splusuk #virgin #80s #challengeanneka
Anneka Rice Instagram - Part of a blue study today, done quickly with my finger and a stick. Seemed a good idea at the time as I’d left my brushes at home. It was Maggi Hambling’s birthday this week so we had cake in the studio. Maggi wore a tiara. Honestly, I just adore my painting tribe. I nearly didn’t go as had a 6am shift beforehand but so glad I did. Painting with friends is always nourishment for the soul…#blue #painting #ink #acrylic #life
Anneka Rice Instagram - In case you watch #Strictly and think ‘I could do that”, there’s a LOT going on, on the instruction front. This was Kevin and I running through our steps. It was like someone had spiked my gin before I even got to it . .. Good luck tonight everyone! #dancing @bbcstrictly
Anneka Rice Instagram - OMG I love our @#ChallengeAnneka community @ageuk_wirral @alzheimersresearchuk #community #charity @fishneighbourhoodcare
Anneka Rice Instagram - Having the best day at Fair in the Square in Highgate. Helping my daughter-in-law run @highgateflowers stall.. Come and join us #flowers
Anneka Rice Instagram - I need your help! What are your memories of the 80s? Doing some shows for Virgin Radio and want your input! I spent all of it dangling from a rope ladder at Madame Tussaud’s. You? Shoulder pads? Wanting to be Madonna? Getting a Walkman? Let me know … @virginradiouk #80s #madonna #treasurehunt
Anneka Rice Instagram - Worth going to Switzerland just for the trains. You feel you’re in a movie. This is a scene from Leaving Zurich. @aljazskorjanec is about to waltz me off to platform 3. #switzerland #leaving #zurich #train (Congratulations on the baby Aljaz!) @ascona_locarno
Anneka Rice Instagram - I’m on The One Show tonight talking about volunteering as it’s the Big Help Out this weekend! Lots of opportunities to get stuck in with your local charity or community. You’ll make new friends, feel useful, it’s a no-brainer. This was me aged 20. I was working in Hong Kong as a newsreader, thousands of miles from home. I was lonely and I started to volunteer in refugee camps where boat people from Vietnam were arriving, utterly destitute. I also found a community in the local children’s home! I used to take the kids on outings - all had disabilities and had been abandoned at birth. Ah John with one-leg was my favourite! He was pushed around by the other kids in a rough box on wheels. I found solace and friendship working in these different teams.. Volunteering is a two-way thing. You are hugely helping people but the benefits for you are also immense. Humans are hard-wired to be altruistic and the power of the collective is a thing of beauty! I never looked back. So go on the Big Help Out app and it will match you with a local project to snuggle in with this weekend, even if just for an hour. I promise you it will move your life along. #thebighelpout @bbctheoneshow
Anneka Rice Instagram - You might be surprised at some of my classical connections! This is me playing in a concert recently. I look calm but I was terrified! And I just wanted to invite you to join me on Scala Radio from Monday 1-4pm this coming week. Whether you’re performing open heart surgery or walking the dog I’d love to be your soundtrack for 3 hours of sumptuous classical music, with the odd musical number thrown in! I can’t wait to swap a hard hat and a building site for a lovely warm studio. See you tomorrow? @scalaradiouk #classical #classicalmusic #relaxing
Anneka Rice Instagram - Getting ready for all the Chelsea coverage and remembering I had a garden in 2017 with @sarahravensgarden and Anita Roddick. Literally a major major highlight of my life. It was called the Anneka Rice Colour Cutting Garden. I mean! I loved every single moment of it, from getting up at 4am with Sarah to get cut flowers from the market, to planning, planting, sweeping and pruning, to meeting so many wonderful garden lovers over the week. Including a dollop of royalty. IT WAS INTENSE!!! Hope I’ve managed to post several pics here 😬. So envious of the Chelsea gang this year … #chelsea #chelseaflowershow @bbc

Anneka Rice Instagram - Nice commute to work today. Walk along the beach, hovercraft, train, tube. Trying to fit in a helicopter somewhere along the line then all bases covered. Join me and @janeandfi at 3-5pm @timesradio
Anneka Rice Instagram - Had the most joyful day at the races with @clarebalding and a fine gang. Somehow … somehow… but how? ….we only managed to win £26 between NINE of us. Over the entire day. 6 races. Half of which Clare was practically riding in. In fact the only horse I won a fiver on for coming 2nd was ‘Hi Clare’. Other than our appalling punts, it was a near perfect day out.
Anneka Rice Instagram - An utterly magical day in Suffolk with my mentor and teacher Maggi Hambling, recording a one-off special for Radio 4 about how the county has shaped her. We started in a ditch - because this is where she had sat as a teenager and sketched, too nervous to walk up the drive to Benton End where she was meant to be enrolling - and ended up at the Scallop, via her studio and her favourite beach. I’ve wanted to get Maggi in that ditch ever since I first met her 15 years ago, and then trace her journey and life through the Suffolk landscape. And finally we did it! At one point a man came up to her on the beach and said “thank you for being a genius”. Says it all…Details of transmission to follow… #maggihambling #painting #suffolk #sea #seascapes #scallop #beach #studio #teacher #pupil @bbcradio4

Anneka Rice Instagram - Thrilled and honoured to become a Patron @foalfarmanimalrescue . I loved the Challenge we did for them last year and was touched and inspired by the passionate care given to all the stray dogs and the support offered to their new owners. The staff are utterly dedicated to animal welfare. We filmed the Challenge in the winter, in the middle of a recession, yet volunteers poured in to help. People are wonderful and we need to celebrate volunteers everywhere. Can’t wait to get stuck in with this glorious charity! #ChallengeAnneka #animalwelfare #dog #rescuedog #puppy #challenge #community #volunteer
Anneka Rice Instagram - Joyful happy evening with @aritanderson @hugobugg @charloharris celebrating Gold Medal and BEST IN SHOW award for @horatiosgarden . The garden is a beautiful, uplifting, accessible sanctuary, embracing the charity’s mission to create gardens in all NHS spinal injury centres in the UK. It was lovely yesterday to see so many wheelchair-users enjoying it. This garden will be relocated to the Princess Royal spinal injuries centre in Sheffield. I adore everything about this charity. The stunning restorative gardens nurture the wellbeing of people after life-changing injuries. If you’re looking for a charity to get stuck in with, this is perfect for you! There are so many lovely ways to get involved … #horatiosgarden #nhs #lifechanging

Anneka Rice Instagram - Had a wonderful morning at Turner’s Twickenham house when I went to open the Turner ‘Seeing the Light’ exhibition. It focusses on the watercolours he painted on his transformative trip to Milan, Venice and Rome in 1819. This trip forever changed the way he painted, not only his palette but the way he approached light and atmosphere. The house is a gem too. I was slightly embarrassed to be introduced as a fellow-painter before my speech! But I got over it as it’s not everyday you’re in the same sentence as JMW Turner …#turner #painter #masterpiece #watercolours #twickenham

Anneka Rice Instagram - Can’t stop thinking about the Mark Quinn exhibition at Kew Gardens. His sculptures are beautiful - massive giant mirrored plants - which emerge from the sumptuous green lushness around. Here I am disappearing into a reflective frond. It really makes you feel part of the landscape as your reflection disappears into it. There’s sex thrown in too with a massive glistening red orchid. I really recommend a visit. @kewgardens #kew @marcquinnart
Anneka Rice Instagram - We built this sodding great arena in 72 hours on #ChallengeAnneka 30 years ago!!! Joyful morning with CEO Sister Mary Joy @wsponycentre to talk about a big 30th celebration. Over the 30 years the centre has helped hundreds of troubled children to ride out of the rain. The arena has been life-changing. I’ve seen first-hand this work. An autistic 5 year old, screaming and anxious, sits on a pony and is calm within seconds. I loved this Challenge - it’s on YouTube if you want to watch it. It involved prisoners from Wormwood Scrubs coming to help and Sister Mary Joy sleeping on the common with the ponies while the work was done… it’s joyful! The prisoners were a bit naughty and we ended up on the front page of The Sun. 😬. But Sister Mary Joy stayed in touch with them for decades. @RDAUK #wormwoodscrubsponycentre #challenge #ponies #ridingforthedisabled #redemption #30 #anniversary
Anneka Rice Instagram - Joyful carol service last night to raise money for @horatiosgarden - the charity that creates breathtakingly beautiful hospital gardens for patients with spinal injuries. These gardens are an oasis of calm and beauty for patients who might otherwise be on their backs in bed for up to a year. Beds can be wheeled out and family can come to visit. The gardens give space for patients to come to terms with their life-changing injuries. I read ‘There Must be Honesty in kindness’ by Augustine J. Bowe. I’m in a pew sandwich with Sinead Cusack, Jeremy Irons, and Olivia Chapple, the inspiring founder…#horatiosgarden #charity #green #greenspace #oasis #poetry #kindness
Anneka Rice Instagram - I’m hosting Loose Ends at 6.15 this eve. Do join me for some fabulous guests and much merriment @bbcradio4 #looseends
Anneka Rice Instagram - All this talk of prisons! It’s quite easy to drive in, if you have a fierce guard dog. And, in my experience, easy to drive out with a couple of prisoners, 20 minutes later. The Guvnor lent them to us to help with a Challenge at Wormwood Scrubs Pony School round the corner. One was in for murder but he jumped into the back of the buggy with great enthusiasm. Happy days! #ChallengeAnneka @wsponycentre
Anneka Rice Instagram - Well that was fun. A day at the races with sleek racehorses @alicearnold1 and @clarebalding . We lost every bet on every race so got the bus home. Joke! Ms Balding picked me up and delivered me back, after delicious and impeccable hospitality. Good friending. @epsomdownsracecourse #oaksday #racing
Anneka Rice Instagram - A date for your diary. Next Thursday 3pm Radio 4, an Open Country special. About my mentor and teacher Maggi Hambling. We travel around the Suffolk countryside, to explore the landscape that has inspired her phenomenal body of work. We sit on the beach where she sketches, and talk about how the crashing of a wave is like the moment of orgasm.. And how The Scallop, reviled when it was first erected, has now become a beloved symbol of Aldeburgh. It’s tender and majestic, rather like Maggi to be honest…#maggihambling #thescallop #sea #painter #suffolk @bbcradio4
Anneka Rice Instagram - This might give you more of a clue as to what I was doing in Porto! What a joy to work with Brian Cox and @robinince1969 @bbcradio4 on The Infinite Monkey Cage, with a gang of explorers from The Explorers’ Club. Even as I write this I’m thinking, ‘Did that happen?’ Best gig ever! It goes out in August so more info then …..#explorers #porto #expeditions #discovery

Or something from Frozen as you attempt a Xmas morning walk. Email me anneka@bbc.co.uk to make a request. You might want a shout out as you’re driving to see Uncle Bulgaria…(We will be playing The Wombles!). Or a special shout-out to loved ones who can’t be with you. We cover the whole gambit of ludicrous songs so try us! @bbcradio2 #juniorchoice #xmas

Anneka Rice Instagram - Quick splatter-gun of a painting today. Two hours of intense acrylic concentration. You’d laugh watching me. I groan, I sigh, I listen to classical music, I am covered in paint, it all happens very quickly. And then I pour a large gin and tonic and tear my hair out. Maggi Hambling says painting should be like a battlefield. It is Maggi! Went to Greece in the early spring. Loved the fresh colours and shadows …trying to capture those memories. #acrylicpainting #greece #painting #landscape #spring
Anneka Rice Instagram - It’s worth going to Kew Gardens for the utterly magical Christmas walk, if only to get your picture sorted for your Xmas card. Meanwhile, my friend Lisa got stuck half way down the helter skelter, which involved a tense rescue involving the entire RAF. See my twitter account for details. I can’t go through the painful details again. The helter skelter man is still in The Priory and Lisa has taken to drinking quite heavily ….
Anneka Rice Instagram - I’m on The One Show tonight at 7pm talking about this suit. No, I’m not on a land mines mission! This is an Empathy Suit. The idea is it gives the care-giver an insight into the struggles of someone with dementia. I was a bit sceptical - thought it might be a gimmick - as empathy is an innate thing, not something you learn. But the suit - weights on the feet and body, goggles to emulate cataracts, ear phones to demonstrate tinnitus, gloves to emulate Parkinson’s - certainly would give someone a better understanding of what it’s like to feel out of control of your body, after decades being a brain surgeon, Headmistress, top lawyer. It was lovely to meet the team at Deerhurst Care Home in Bristol who are doing all they can to give their residents dignity and love. 7pm #bbc
Anneka Rice Instagram - Thank you to everyone who called in today @telegraph Christmas charity appeal. I loved helping on the phones and you helped raise a stonking amount of money. Thank you especially to the gentleman who seemed to do the whole call running around on his phone shouting ‘where’s the clue!’ I didn’t ask what he was wearing but possibly Lycra. It made collecting his bank details exhausting but we got there in the end,John! I’m an Ambassador for @mariecurieuk so was thrilled so much money was raised today. But we were also collecting for Race Against Dementia, Go Beyond and @royalairforceuk #charity #appeal #telegraph

Anneka Rice Instagram - Jenny Eclair is officially sensible. She uses the glove compartment in her car for a bottle of Chardonnay. Fits perfectly! Have a listen to her Wine Times episode for very useful tips. She said that just the word ‘golf club’ makes her vagina contract, but sadly that bit was edited out (not my call! I’d have kept it in with streamers and party poppers). Anyway, just google Wine Times to hear other wise musings … #winetimes #podcast #wine @thetimes @mrwill_lyons #sundaytimes #winetasting

Anneka Rice Instagram - Son 1 has opened a beautiful restaurant, Outcrop at 180 Strand, a kind of green social club in the city. And this immersive video, Sanctuary of the Unseen Forest, will blow your mind. I couldn’t tear myself away. It’s a giant Ceiba Pentandra tree from the Colombian Amazon that towers above you - and you can stand and watch in awe the vibrancy of life that is flowing through it. The reverberating soundtrack taps into your own pulse. Do go and visit, have a cocktail and exquisite food by AngloThai in the most intimate and friendly place you’ll find in London. Did I mention the DJs! The whole experience is nourishment for the soul. @outcrop.social #180thestrand #marshmallowlaserfeast #sanctuary #forest #restaurant #dj @marshmallowlaserfeast

Anneka Rice Instagram - National Illustration Day. Who knew. This was a jumpsuit prototype by designer Liz de Costa around 1988. She was possibly on the wacky backy when she did my leg measurements but the shoulder pads are excellent!

Anneka Rice Instagram - Very excited to welcome @michel_roux_jr to our Wine Times podcast this week. When I was 16 my boyfriend’s parents took me to Le Gavroche. So I went from my usual, the Wonky Wok in Croydon, to a 3* Michelin star restaurant, which was exciting and baffling all at once. I got blind drunk as waiters kept leaping out from behind curtains to fill up my glass. I didn’t realise this was a thing. It became a challenge to empty my glass. This never happened in the Wonky Wok. We discuss the demise this year of this extraordinary restaurant - I don’t mean the WW - and also analyse slurpy noises when eating. @mrwill_lyons chooses some delicious wines and all in all it’s a very pleasant afternoon … #wine #winetime #winetimes #afternoon #winetasting @sundaytimeswineclub @thetimes
Anneka Rice Instagram - About to be on this … 7pm @bbc @bbctheoneshow
Anneka Rice Instagram - Chickenshed has made my heart explode this afternoon. Went to see their Xmas show, The Toymaker’s Child, and sobbed throughout as usual. I am SO proud to be their Ambassador. I first saw them perform in 1986, children and adults with disabilities sharing centre stage with others who could help and guide them. A mind-blowing concept in the 80s. I literally ran home and wrote the Challenge format on the back of the envelope after that because I saw a community on that stage, everyone pulling together, and frankly everything that’s great about humanity. Do try and see them, support them, if you can. Watching a young child with severe disabilities being supported by an 11 year old will blow your mind. @chickenshed_uk #community #theatre #inclusive #thebest #challenge
Anneka Rice Instagram - I only feel truly happy when I’m painting or dyeing something blue. Paving stones, fences, sofa covers, duvets, nothing is safe. I painted the bench cushions with normal acrylic paint on a whim. Shall I do main cushion too? #diy #blue #acrylic #paint #myhappyplace
Anneka Rice Instagram - Fun
Anneka Rice Instagram - Very excited to be doing Tweet of the Day on Radio 4 today. Just before 9am. I became obsessed with painting nightingales during lockdown so this is my first subject today. I like the story that Keats composed Ode to a Nightingale when he heard one singing in a leafy glade on the Isle of Wight. #tweet #nightingale #isleofwight
Anneka Rice Instagram - Oh God, I might be flirting again. This wine malarkey is making me unstable. @clarkepetersofficial is a glorious guest on Wine Times this week.

Anneka Rice Instagram - Mind blowing boat trip up the Thames with Jo and Debra and their gang from @littlesproutscharity yesterday! They were in London to meet the King having just been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Services. I love and respect these women so much. They run the charity which supports families in the Stockton-on-Tees area. The life expectancy difference between rich and poor is 18 years. You may have watched our recent #ChallengeAnneka when volunteers built them a training kitchen, cafe and food hub in Thornaby so they can give food bank support to hundreds in their community. I saw first-hand how they change people’s lives. They don’t just help with food supplies, they run hands on cooking workshops so people can make their food go further. I literally adore this charity and all the volunteers I’ve met. Do have a look at their website www.littlesprouts.org.uk in case you can join them. They sum up everything that is joyful about volunteering, being part of an amazing team and feeling useful, making a massive difference. #kingsawardforvoluntaryservice #volunteering #food #foodhub #makingadifference #cooking @debbiefixter @jo_tough #littlesprouts
Anneka Rice Instagram - Loose Ends this eve! Sitting in for Clive Anderson. GREAT GUESTS! @bbcradio4 #looseends
Anneka Rice Instagram - Christmas at Kew was magical last night. By the time we’d walked for an hour or so past lakes with dazzling dancing reflections and trees saturated with colour, not to mention a quick go on a helter skelter which my friend Lisa got stuck on and she practically had to be airlifted off, with Alex Jones and her lovely children wondering anxiously what was going on, I thought someone had spiked the mulled wine…. And then we came to this at the end! By which time we were all weak with sensory overload. The whole experience is a marvel #KewGardens #Christmas #Christmaslights #trees @kewgardens

We then assembled an orchestra - and Henry Mancini turned up to conduct the 1812 Overture to an ice skating and firework accompanied. In the middle of the Thames. For Children in Need. We both glazed over at this point. He thinks I am struggling with mind-altering substances. I realise talking about my career makes me sound like I have early onset dementia. #challengeanneka @bbc

Likes : 506Anneka Rice - 494 Likes - Oh my goodness. I went to Birkenhead, near Liverpool, today, to visit our Dementia Village, built on Challenge Anneka in 2022. It is flourishing. On a piece of wasteland a team of epic volunteers, builders, craftsmen, built an entire memory village - with pub, post office, record shop, cafe, bakers, cinema, bowling lawn, landscaped gardens! We worked in the pouring rain, in a recession, it was beyond stressful - but I thought my heart would burst, visiting it in the sunshine today, seeing what a difference it has made in this Wirral community. They now have over 400 volunteers helping out. The idea is that someone with dementia can wander safely round the village, dropping in on shops, listening to their favourite record, watching a film, having a singalong in the pub, doing whatever they want. It’s liberating for them and their loved ones because on every corner, sitting in the shops, offering them a cuppa in the cafe, there are carers to help them, chat to them, play bowls with them, sing with them. Each shop is curated to trigger memories. I went down a rabbit hole of memories seeing the Green Shield Stamps in the Post Office! IT IS BRILLIANT. I would love to see this rolled out across the UK.

We had a ridiculous amount of fun making the series. There were genuine near misses and true jeopardy. I ended up in A & E more than once. Flinging ourselves round the world in a helicopter without doors was thrilling though. Up till then, tv was lacking ‘live’ adventure - and definitely lacking young women calling the shots. Treasure Hunt changed the face of tv for ever! A woman centre stage of the action! It was a HUGE moment in tv history ..Nice one @Channel4 for a huge, big, daring idea! #treasurehunt #channel4 #tv #realitytv #youtube #team #crew #realityshow

Can I recommend you search for your local painting group - over a pub, in an arts centre, in someone’s front room - and dive in. I did this 40 years ago as an absolute beginner and the friends I’ve made through painting make my heart SING! Changed my life. True love. #painting #art #studio #group #community #friendship #love

I have absolutely no memory of this. Not so strange in itself EXCEPT THIS IS THE COLLEGE WHERE ONE OF MY SONS ENDED UP 30 years or so later. . All that time I visited him. Walked on that lawn. Admired the view. No idea I’d been there before! Has someone spiked my drink? Son thinks I may be actually mad. #treasure ##treasurehunt #oxford #university #helicopter

It’s all part of “Maggi Hambling - Teacher”, a celebration of her teaching life. Being taught by Maggi Hambling has been life-changing and our weekly classes are a true highlight of my life. She is gruff and funny and wise and kind and I hear her voice ringing in my ears whenever I start a new painting. I met her 15 years ago when I interviewed her and I was bewitched. I asked her then and there if I could join her Master Class. She looked at me for about 10 minutes and then wrote on a stub of paper an address and ‘10am. Charcoal’. I turned up the next day and have been part of her eccentric, nurturing, creative group ever since. Every person in the groups paints in a completely different way which Maggi celebrates. There is no house style. The exhibition is at Morley Gallery 6-26 March so do come along and have a look at what we all get up to. @morleygallery #maggihambling #painting #exhibition

Quoted Maya Angelou, “If you want to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased’.” Drank too much Tequila. #lgbt #lgbtcommunity #legacy #trailblazer #awards

It was Maggi Hambling’s birthday this week so we had cake in the studio. Maggi wore a tiara. Honestly, I just adore my painting tribe. I nearly didn’t go as had a 6am shift beforehand but so glad I did. Painting with friends is always nourishment for the soul…#blue #painting #ink #acrylic #life

Lots of opportunities to get stuck in with your local charity or community. You’ll make new friends, feel useful, it’s a no-brainer. This was me aged 20. I was working in Hong Kong as a newsreader, thousands of miles from home. I was lonely and I started to volunteer in refugee camps where boat people from Vietnam were arriving, utterly destitute. I also found a community in the local children’s home! I used to take the kids on outings - all had disabilities and had been abandoned at birth. Ah John with one-leg was my favourite! He was pushed around by the other kids in a rough box on wheels. I found solace and friendship working in these different teams.. Volunteering is a two-way thing. You are hugely helping people but the benefits for you are also immense. Humans are hard-wired to be altruistic and the power of the collective is a thing of beauty! I never looked back. So go on the Big Help Out app and it will match you with a local project to snuggle in with this weekend, even if just for an hour. I promise you it will move your life along. #thebighelpout @bbctheoneshow

And I just wanted to invite you to join me on Scala Radio from Monday 1-4pm this coming week. Whether you’re performing open heart surgery or walking the dog I’d love to be your soundtrack for 3 hours of sumptuous classical music, with the odd musical number thrown in! I can’t wait to swap a hard hat and a building site for a lovely warm studio. See you tomorrow? @scalaradiouk #classical #classicalmusic #relaxing

Over the entire day. 6 races. Half of which Clare was practically riding in. In fact the only horse I won a fiver on for coming 2nd was ‘Hi Clare’. Other than our appalling punts, it was a near perfect day out.

We started in a ditch - because this is where she had sat as a teenager and sketched, too nervous to walk up the drive to Benton End where she was meant to be enrolling - and ended up at the Scallop, via her studio and her favourite beach. I’ve wanted to get Maggi in that ditch ever since I first met her 15 years ago, and then trace her journey and life through the Suffolk landscape. And finally we did it! At one point a man came up to her on the beach and said “thank you for being a genius”.

It focusses on the watercolours he painted on his transformative trip to Milan, Venice and Rome in 1819. This trip forever changed the way he painted, not only his palette but the way he approached light and atmosphere. The house is a gem too. I was slightly embarrassed to be introduced as a fellow-painter before my speech! But I got over it as it’s not everyday you’re in the same sentence as JMW Turner …#turner #painter #masterpiece #watercolours #twickenham

Caption : Had a wonderful morning at Turner’s Twickenham house when I went to open the Turner ‘Seeing the Light’ exhibition. It focusses on the watercolours he painted on his transformative trip to Milan, Venice and Rome in 1819. This trip forever changed the way he painted, not only his palette but the way he approached light and atmosphere. The house is a gem too. I was slightly embarrassed to be introduced as a fellow-painter before my speech! But I got over it as it’s not everyday you’re in the same sentence as JMW Turner …#turner #painter #masterpiece #watercolours #twickenham

His sculptures are beautiful - massive giant mirrored plants - which emerge from the sumptuous green lushness around. Here I am disappearing into a reflective frond. It really makes you feel part of the landscape as your reflection disappears into it. There’s sex thrown in too with a massive glistening red orchid. I really recommend a visit. @kewgardens #kew @marcquinnart

Joyful morning with CEO Sister Mary Joy @wsponycentre to talk about a big 30th celebration. Over the 30 years the centre has helped hundreds of troubled children to ride out of the rain. The arena has been life-changing. I’ve seen first-hand this work. An autistic 5 year old, screaming and anxious, sits on a pony and is calm within seconds. I loved this Challenge - it’s on YouTube if you want to watch it. It involved prisoners from Wormwood Scrubs coming to help and Sister Mary Joy sleeping on the common with the ponies while the work was done… it’s joyful! The prisoners were a bit naughty and we ended up on the front page of The Sun. 😬. But Sister Mary Joy stayed in touch with them for decades. @RDAUK #wormwoodscrubsponycentre #challenge #ponies #ridingforthedisabled #redemption #30 #anniversary

These gardens are an oasis of calm and beauty for patients who might otherwise be on their backs in bed for up to a year. Beds can be wheeled out and family can come to visit. The gardens give space for patients to come to terms with their life-changing injuries. I read ‘There Must be Honesty in kindness’ by Augustine J. Bowe.

And, in my experience, easy to drive out with a couple of prisoners, 20 minutes later. The Guvnor lent them to us to help with a Challenge at Wormwood Scrubs Pony School round the corner. One was in for murder but he jumped into the back of the buggy with great enthusiasm. Happy days! #ChallengeAnneka @wsponycentre

We sit on the beach where she sketches, and talk about how the crashing of a wave is like the moment of orgasm.. And how The Scallop, reviled when it was first erected, has now become a beloved symbol of Aldeburgh.

The idea is it gives the care-giver an insight into the struggles of someone with dementia. I was a bit sceptical - thought it might be a gimmick - as empathy is an innate thing, not something you learn. But the suit - weights on the feet and body, goggles to emulate cataracts, ear phones to demonstrate tinnitus, gloves to emulate Parkinson’s - certainly would give someone a better understanding of what it’s like to feel out of control of your body, after decades being a brain surgeon, Headmistress, top lawyer. It was lovely to meet the team at Deerhurst Care Home in Bristol who are doing all they can to give their residents dignity and love. 7pm #bbc

Have a listen, it’s free. @mrwill_lyons offers up some sumptuous wines. @sundaytimeswineclub #winetimes https://pod.fo/e/20c80b #wine #tasting #travel #portugal

They were in London to meet the King having just been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Services. I love and respect these women so much. They run the charity which supports families in the Stockton-on-Tees area. The life expectancy difference between rich and poor is 18 years. You may have watched our recent #ChallengeAnneka when volunteers built them a training kitchen, cafe and food hub in Thornaby so they can give food bank support to hundreds in their community. I saw first-hand how they change people’s lives. They don’t just help with food supplies, they run hands on cooking workshops so people can make their food go further. I literally adore this charity and all the volunteers I’ve met. Do have a look at their website www.littlesprouts.org.uk in case you can join them. They sum up everything that is joyful about volunteering, being part of an amazing team and feeling useful, making a massive difference. #kingsawardforvoluntaryservice #volunteering #food #foodhub #makingadifference #cooking @debbiefixter @jo_tough #littlesprouts

By the time we’d walked for an hour or so past lakes with dazzling dancing reflections and trees saturated with colour, not to mention a quick go on a helter skelter which my friend Lisa got stuck on and she practically had to be airlifted off, with Alex Jones and her lovely children wondering anxiously what was going on, I thought someone had spiked the mulled wine…. And then we came to this at the end! By which time we were all weak with sensory overload. The whole experience is a marvel #KewGardens #Christmas #Christmaslights #trees @kewgardens
