Just asked a VTEC is now LNER conductor if he receives commission, while he was insisting a polite woman behind me pay for a brand new ticket because she got on my train after hers was cancelled. Answer: yes, 5% Wow. #VirginFail

Did we leave Serbia while I slept on the excursion bus this morning? Because the toilets here have locks on the doors! #joy #mythical_land #Limes2018

Deeply saddened and bereaved by the news this morning of the death of Jeremy Hardy. I am merely a devoted listener and my heart goes out to all those much closer to him. I can't do Brexit without Jeremy. Or any other politics or news, it feels at the moment.

As soon as our candidates take their comfy (and fairly intimate!) seats Hexhamtv will be livestreaming the civil conversation at St Mary's, Ovingham. High expectations from me!

I wonder if people queued to get through #HadriansWall checkpoints as calmly as the queues for today's hippika gymnasia #HadriansCavalry

Have fun at today's #Turma everyone. Last night I waved my flag so hard it came off. Well done all the film & TV stunt riders and reenactors

I'm a little bit in love with this Hadrian. He played the part brilliantly yesterday. I'd vote IN to Rome if he came to visit. #Turma

The Roman bridge at Adana across the river Sarus (modern Seyhan). It was built under Hadrian, restored by Justinian with even later repairs.

...and so began the story of Hadrian's final ascent to power...either legitimately or with a bit of trickery. Either way, a good result imho x.com/carolemadge/st…

'White on the Wall': still some debate about whether #HadriansWall was painted or limewashed, but today it's lichen (from lovely clean air!) x.com/OULass/status/…
