Loved #Bradford since I moved here in 1986. Its diversity, history, architecture, art, green spaces, waterways, creative arts. But most of all, the big heart of Bradford, the generous people who make you so welcome. It's our time #Bradford2025 #CityofCulture2025 @bradford2025

@Sarahc_k @mrJamesGraham What an interesting, and timely, listen. Thank you.

It was such a joy having this conversation with @mrJamesGraham Do listen. It covers such a lot of such interesting ground, including why Jack Thorne's Adolescence on TV and his own Punch and Dear England in theatre are so important in the discussion of young men growing up today

📢 CALL OUT for young people in Bradford for a portrait project. Impressions has commissioned photographer Roz Doherty to produce a set of portraits on what it means to be a young person in Bradford today: bit.ly/calloutbd 📷 Charlotte, 2019 © Roz Doherty #Bradford2025

Just a white-tailed bumblebee, on a teasel. Made me happy. There's loads more of them (bumblebees and teasels) in my back garden. Love architectural plants, and pollinators.

@higgledygarden Gorgeous!

We have reached peak sunflower!

@NickTankard I think it's another set for The Choral - they were filming inside Victoria Hall earlier this week, and this set has been built at the end of Upper School Street.

Another day, another film set in #Saltaire

@wmichallat Feels good!

And now Shipley my home town. 😄. The awful Philip Davies - bye!

@gardener_the Sorry to hear that. In better news, the dreadful Philip Davies has at last been ousted from Shipley - hurrah!

Oh for goodness' sake. The dead hand of aristocracy, church and military still grips my home.

If you missed my sold out talk @BradfordLitFest there are still some tickets available for my talks @SaltsMill saltsmillshop.co.uk/products/ian-b…

Conservative candidate Philip Davies bet £8,000 against himself winning in the general election That's almost the UK state pension for an entire year 😱 He may need to update his website which reads, "Your interests, not self interest"

@Thehappyplotter It's a lovely place. I'm lucky enough to have an allotment there, too, right opposite Salts Mill 😊 Hope you do get to visit.

@Greeneddy Saltaire is on my 'to visit' list. Almost got there last year but foul weather put pay to that visit 😞

Saltaire is being transformed - back to the 1920s, for another film set. Here's my daughter, going into the 'Ironmongery', to buy a doughnut! #Bradford #Bradford2025 #BradfordCityofFilm #Saltaire

There are some really gorgeous gardens to visit in #ShipleyOpenGardens - in glorious sunshine yesterday, on again today, 1-5pm. It's £4 entry, in aid of @childrensociety and @Hive_Bradford. Some gorgeous plants and pottery for sale, too 😊 #15minuteShipley #opengardens

@15minuteshipley @HelenSaltedit @joycieukulele @jennnifer01 Streamside is always lovely, especially on a sunny day, with sun filtering through the trees and sparkling on the water. And on the top meadow ... the orchids are beginning to make an appearance - look for places where the yellow rattle has out-competed the grass.

@NickTankard Ha - is that the building up on St Ives estate?

On this day 39 years ago, 56 people travelled to Valley Parade and never returned. Today, and every day, is for those we lost on 11th May 1985. 🎗️ #BCAFC

@15minuteshipley Was up there this morning. Delicious.

Northcliffe Woods, worth a visit at any time of year but particularly for the bluebells 💙💙💙
