Opera, F1, wildlife, travel.
@ellengofton.bsky.social I hope you don't mind my asking but what part of UK are you from as Gofton is an unusual name. It was my mum's maiden name and she was born near Gateshead.

It's seven years today since we posted on Twitter that Sting had been in to return his books.

Back in May 2021 I posted on twitter about a journey I'd undertaken to find a tree that I can see from our bedroom window. I've decided to post it verbatim on here as lots of people really enjoyed it. So, here it is…

In fact I have two bucket list items this Autumn: am also singing Britten's War Requiem in Southwark Cathedral in November.

Bus conductors. 🚍🎫
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?

Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.

Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Informative and very moving thread. #7/7
One other 7/7 thread today. Because I think how the bus network got running again is a real testament to some serious heroes that day:

The bus drivers and staff who got that network running again and got London home that night.

And TfL/the Mayor disobeyed the Security Services to make it happen /1

Thanks to the tenor behind me singing “water-slide” in verse 3, I’m never thinking of Psalm 1 quite the same way ever again. Not sure if it was a slip of the tongue or long-repressed “choirboy humour”…
