I've finally (?) finished adding TW Fringe events to my site. It ended up with over 160 entries.

Kicks off in a month's time.

On the day that Summer in Nashville tickets went live I have successfully passed on 82 users (so far) to their website.

It's what we do!

200th parkrun completed this morning, 98% have been @rtwparkrun.bsky.social

It's only taken 8 years!

Thanks to all the volunteers over the years who make it such fun every Saturday.

Tonight is the launch of 2025 Local & Live. It's 20th anniversary!

Anouska (?) providing the opening song.

I've updated my TW Literary Festival page. Currently showing 39 events.

Some big names, some big themes, some big stories! Well done to the Festival team!

Coming to TW in May - unfortunately I won't be able to go to any of the events. 😞

Comedy at Trinity in #TunbridgeWells tonight. With Nick Mohammed, it's a WIP night which should be fun.

If you want a condensed view of what events are coming up in Tunbridge Wells have a look at my 'Quick View' page. You can even convert it into a PDF for the fridge door!

I've managed to make a return trip to the exhibition at The Amelia Scott! It's much quieter than opening night.

I love the quality and variety of work on display from nearly 400 local artists.

More events added to the #TunbridgeWells Literary Festival programme. Looking good!

See my summary here:

Unfortunately I won't be able to go to most of this!

I'm looking for a little run-around car and found this in Royal Victoria Place this morning. Think it'll do...
February 21, 2025 at 4:12 PM
There's a lot of talent on display. I'm going to have to come back and peruse at a leisurely pace!

A big tick for this exhibition!
February 13, 2025 at 7:30 PM
There's a lot of people at The Amelia for the launch of 'your work here'. With 396 local artists I guess it's not a surprise!

Ahem!

A few pictures from tonight's #TunbridgeWells Lantern Parade.

Good sized procession, well led by Bloco Fogo, ably supported by the Sea Cadets. But smaller crowds than recently (I think).

Always fun!

First @rtwparkrun.bsky.social for three months. Tripped and fell, although I like to think I turned it into an elegant swan dive!

Slowest run ever, but good to be back!

Good to see Rye Jazz Festival putting on a show (Macy Gray) at the Assembly Hall. In the middle of the Literary Festival too! That will be a busy week.

I've not been to a cinema intermission for a long time.

Came across this old graphic yesterday, it still applies. To see what I've added lately to the 500 or so events already listed for 2025 follow the link.

You're right Nick, and to finish.

Out tonight for our joint birthday dinner!

This should be fun!
