@MrTimDunn @PS_Waverley @TowerBridge @visitthecity @visitlondon @IlluminatedRiv @NatHistShips Happened to be on top of Greenwich Park Hill when she streamed past, saw her through a gap in the Naval Academy, an unexpected surprise! Told my long-suffering friend from New York all about her

There was something extraordinary about the moonlight tonight: it compelled me to venture up Borough High Street and along London Bridge, so that I might see it reflected on the Pool. As I stood, a clock on one of Wren’s churches struck nine. Perfect, I thought. But before I could turn one of those magical moments that I’ll try to never forget unfurled — as I spotted the bascules of Tower Bridge rising. In an instant I remembered what I had forgotten, confirmed by a familiar long, deep wail of sadness - the sort of sadness that could only be mustered by an elderly orphaned hand-built ship which knows it is the last of its kind and that once it is gone, there will be no more. Either side of the bridge many sat stewing grumpily in their own traffic but for me - and I suspect many hundreds more who also witnessed the mesmerising sight and sounds of the world’s last ocean-going paddle steamer glide into London upon a river of silver and its decks full of folk bright-eyed with wonder – time stopped and silence fell. Waverley had come back to town.

@MrTimDunn @PS_Waverley @TowerBridge @visitthecity @visitlondon @IlluminatedRiv @NatHistShips Absolutely stunning image! Thank you for sharing! Waverley….she just keeps going and keeps giving!

@RosieisaHolt @caitlinmoran Hi

A man tweeted to me that I’m not funny so I replied ‘Your mum’ ( thank you @caitlinmoran ) and he instantly blocked me and sorry but that IS objectively funny.

Compassion enhances our self-confidence because a calm mind allows our marvellous human intelligence to bloom. When we’re angry, our thinking is distorted and we don’t see the different aspects of reality. A calm mind enables us to take a broader, more realistic view.

I believe all 7 billion human beings alive today are part of one human family. We are born and die in the same way. And what is most precious in our relations with others is warm-heartedness. It yields the peace of mind and inner strength that are fundamental to a happy community

2019 was full of moments that show humanity at its best—compassionate, entrepreneurial, determined. And yes, hopeful. Take a look to see for yourself.
