Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Lots of people out canvassing today in St John’s for the borough council by-election on Thursday. But a fail to one party for adding a post-it note to their leaflet saying “sorry I missed you” when they didn’t ring the doorbell and we were all in the house.

It was inevitable that with more traffic due to Upper Grosvenor Road being closed, a blind corner, and drivers going too fast / being impatient, there would be an accident on the Queens Road / Silverdale junction. No-one was hurt, but the Tesla has a big scrape.

Went to eat at Mexcellent in Camden Road last night: completely epic experience! It was taco Tuesday, so they ran a limited menu. But wow: the flavours were amazing, and the portions generous too. Great cocktails too, although beware the spicy margarita! 🥵 Booking essential; it’s small and popular.

I’ve neglected my presence here of late. So: me studying to be a proper genealogist. Dog loving walks at Hurst, Southborough Common, and more besides. Boy learning to drive and looking at universities - yikes! Cursing the roadworks on Upper Grosvenor Road, especially rubbish communication all round.

When you have lots of ripe, homegrown tomatoes, you make pasta alla pomodoro crudo for supper.

Great morning wandering around the Pantiles looking at the Motor Show display on Sunday. I’ll have the Aston Martin DB4GT Lightweight if you please. 😉

Recommendations for family (early) brunch on the Pantiles tomorrow morning? Eggs Eleven was great last time but happy to consider alternatives.

Two and a half weeks until the local elections and I’ve been canvassed (in person) by the Liberal Democrats. Even with a by-election for the borough council in St John’s in addition to the county council elections, this was the first contact with any candidates.

Very concerning to read of an assault on a teenage girl occurring in Grosvenor & Hilbert Park at the weekend, in the middle of the day.

One for #TunbridgeWells peeps out there. The pizza restaurant in Camden Road, Tuci, (not to be confused with Cantuccio) has closed. In its place is Mexcellent - a restaurant run by the people who had the food truck at the Royal Oak and at the Cross Keys. I can’t wait to try it!

Life as a Grosvenor Park dog-walker. (From my other account.)
Here’s a scene from my dog walk before breakfast.
There’s a ball! Can I have it?
<No>
Oh please! I’ll try to get it.
<No>
I really want it!
<You have about 20 old tennis balls already.>
Passer-by: is it his?
<No. He has plenty of tennis balls.>
Passer-by: Here you are, good dog!
<🤦🏻♀️>

Just sharing this to remind you that lots of people want to make this place more inclusive than other platforms. Also, do use #CamelCase for your hashtags - a capital letter for each word - which helps those who use screen reader technology. 😊
New to @bsky.app? We’ve got some etiquette just for you!
Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".

Good evening, #TunbridgeWells. My @allthosebefore.bsky.social account has been on this platform for well over a year. Having seen a few familiar names appear there I’ve decided to replicate my separate TW account. This account is for local stuff, the other for #Genealogy and #FamilyHistory.
