How’s this for impact from the dedicated & brilliant team Hitchin Boys' School Big up to HBS MFL department & @HBSCreativearts for getting a young person to the point of being able to blag themselves onto a tour of Paris Conservatoire students & do this. It’s not all about exams! Endless thanks 🤩

Can’t thank you enough The Man in Seat 61 for helping us plan our train adventure 🤩Currently on Karlsruhe-Koln train trying not to weep reading updates about what’s going on back home. Train travel can be comfortable, enjoyable and better for the planet. How can we be going so wrong?

I don’t think the ‘X’ thing really affects us but it’s nuts isn’t it!? To rebrand such a universally known thing? It’s like if you owned Argos and changed its name to Ferretland. Or you took over BMW and said from now on we’re called Absolutely Lovely Cars.

My eleven year old has been asking me to share her drawing on Twitter for ages. She hopes that Rishi Sunak looks at Twitter & will see it and do something about the criminal damage to our waterways. We can’t stand by and accept this! Surfers Against Sewage Feargal Sharkey

Woo hoooo!!!!!

An enjoyable and inspiring day back at my old school, adjudicating the music competition. So much brilliant work from students and staff, great to see state school music thriving here. @HBSCreativearts

The people we need to be able to show care and human connection to our loved ones will be banned from having the people who in turn care for and sustain them near them. Hard to top this for wrong headed idiocy.

Delighted to have Alistair Strathern MP as our new MP. A competent and principled voice for Hitchin. Raising a glass of Sir Keir Royale to our new government.

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today. Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that
