Gillian Lees

@BenRothenberg Always loved watching her play.

Seriously underrated player, she was a menace to many in the late 2010s.

@TimesSport @iwhittell They go to Blackpool, that's where, not to mention my current hometown of Bromley! 😅

🦊 Where do sorry Leicester go from here? They haven’t hit rock bottom yet Relegated to League One, the cash-strapped club are in freefall, with players needing to be sold and fans ‘beyond anger’ @iwhittell reports ⤵️ #Echobox=1776886002" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/football…

Internet still down @TalkTalk . Useless reply to my DM. Tried rebooting router. Didn't work.

@metoffice This was staged by @BromleyTheatre in 2025 and is a fantastic story.

The first trailer for ‘Pressure’ is here, the film which tells the story of the most important weather forecast; the D-Day forecast. Andrew Scott stars as Group Captain James Stagg – the Met Office meteorologist tasked with delivering the weather forecast and helping shape D-Day's plans. In cinemas 9 September. #pressuremovie @StudiocanalUK

@allhailtwit I love your pictures. Wish I could give them lots of likes!

Berlin, 1964. I am posting my Berlin images less frequently because of the waning interest in them, evidenced by the fewer number of "likes". Although the "like" system is somewhat simplistic, it is the only measure I have of the level of interest. Thank you to all my friends.

@Usborne @thebookseller You should have seen the look of delight of one of your young readers when she opened 'That's not my Giraffe' at her 1st birthday party on Saturday!

@LancashirePics Fylde lass here!

@hoyer_kat @FinancialTimes I am fascinated by the woman at the front with the suitcase. She still managed to look so well put-together.

"On the surface, Berlin was still Berlin...not a huge amount had changed since the free-spirited Weimar days, except, of course, for the free spirit.” - Ian Buruma in "Stay Alive", his granular mosaic of wartime Berlin. My review @FinancialTimes 👇 ft.com/content/b7cbb6…

@RVResidents I am sorry to hear this sad news. I have very fond memories of chatting to Leslie when he proudly told me how old he was!!

Leslie Watmore RIP We regret to announce the death yesterday evening of our former Chair, Leslie Watmore. He had been ill for some time but died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. A kind, gentle and dignified man, a true gentleman to the very end.

@bemorebob2 I love following your adventures. Thank you for sharing them. And I love Dolly's shaggy chic.

We’ve picked up lots of new followers lately, which is fabulous! We love sharing our dogs with you. It has led to a big increase in DMs, mainly about the welfare of my puppy. It’s come as a suprise to me, as my dogs are loved beyond measure. Maybe some new followers don’t know us too well. So here’s me saying ‘hi, 👋 thank you for being part of our day. I can hand on heart promise you that my dogs are SO happy and healthy and we dedicate all our energy to making their lives amazing. Thank you for following us and we hope you get to know us better soon 🧡🧡🧡 Here’s me with Bob as a puppy 7 odd years ago, and with Dolly pup now 🧡

@Sootyandco What could possibly go wrong?!

All set for the figure skating...

@BellaShihTzuAce Dear Peter and Bella. I am so sorry for your loss and the heartbreak that you are bearing. Thinking of you at this very sad time. Hope that the beautiful and my beloved home patch of the Fylde will provide a gentle place for you to grieve.

From Hudad... Beautiful, brave, amazing Barbara, lost her 4 year battle against the evil that is cancer, on Saturday 7 February. We are devastated and heartbroken by our loss. Her bravery and determination even during the last few weeks has been incredible. Your thoughts and messages have been so gratefully received. Peter x

@CarlBovisNature Bruiser is a beauty.

If you see this photo, please leave a comment. 🙏😊 Are you familiar with Bruiser the Blue Tit? 😍 Have you ever given a name to a bird that you see regularly? 😀🐦

@bemorebob2 A natural on the catwalk. Ooh sorry, pupwalk 😅

Dolly was modelling for us today. She’s currently 4kg (ish) and fits a Ruffwear XXS coat perfectly. She won’t stay this size for long, but she’s a great demo for mini breeds right now 🙂💕

The recent appearance of cracks in a rear wall at Shortlands Library @BromLibraries has prompted the closure of the library for safety reasons and further investigation work bromley.gov.uk/news/article/9…

@frankcottrell_b My reading recovery needed a series. And for me, it was the late, much-missed, CJ Sansom's Shardlake novels. Discovering William Boyd's novels was another great delight.

Confessions from my Reading Recovery Scheme ...

@GroomB That's really interesting. My late mum used to talk about the raincoat factory workers coming into her family's grocery for their sandwiches.

Manchester and Salford became the centre of UK rubberised rainwear production after Charles Macintosh, who experimented with waterproof fabric in Glasgow, and partner H.H. Birley opened a factory in Chorlton-on-Medlock in 1825.
