Loving this Malmo fixture tonight and feeling so gutted not to be there under the lights. So I dug out my matchday programme from the 1995 Malmo game at the WFCG and will enjoy watching the 1979 Forest legends re-live their glory days 🥰 #COYR #NFFC 💪🔴⚪️🌳
Matchday programme from 26 September 1995 UEFA Cup First Round second leg. Showing Brian Roy running on the pitch chased by Malmo player. Home shirt with Labbatt's sponsor, black shorts, and black, red and white socks

I've been in some cool bookshops but the Giunti Odeon Bookshop and Cinema in Florence is my new favourite. So beautiful and unique #Booksky #Books #Cinema #Florence

Lovely spring walk around Felley Priory and Underwood today, DH Lawrence country. The skylarks drowned out the song of most of the other birds. Blissful! #FirstDayOfSpring #Nottinghamshire
View of the back of Felley Priory from the orchard which is full of daffodils. The sky is blue. Screenshot of the Merlin app dated 20 March Nottinghamshire and showing bird song found from three birds - skylark, robin and linnet

Sometimes the tonic you need is the Levellers. I did miss the Rock City vibes but I've never seen the Concert Hall rocking like it was tonight #Nottingham
