Holiday twitter break! Imagine if when I come back I have 100K followers.

Go for a walk. It clear your head and makes you think beyond the noise of life! I am relying on walking a lot this summer! 163km in August so far!

@DeputyGrocott I’ve started watching The Brittas Empire on YouTube. What a classic!

What am I supposed to watch now?

I’ve found my new obsession - spin class!

Joining The Windsor Boys' School in September 2024? Inspired by the Olympic Games? Keen to try rowing? GIVE ROWING A GO @TWBS We start in September in the first week of term Find out more information at this link - wbsbc.org/year-9-rowing PARENTS - LOOK OUT FOR EMAILS TOO

Imagine if our first instinct in life was to praise, encourage or celebrate. Every tweet would help to bring a little bit of joy, encouragement and kindness. No matter what happens, people seem to prefer to resort to negatives. Find the joy, celebrate the positives!

@jembenson @ErrollynWallen @wigmore_hall She is an incredible woman and so interesting and passionate. A truly wonderful human being!

A fantastic production of Into The Woods from @NYMTuk So inspiring to see young people on stage and in the orchestra. Some stunning performances and a fantastic concept! And what music from Sondheim! A genius! @swkplay is a lovely venue!

Great to watch some local footy @WindsorEtonFC

@DeputyGrocott I use nothing but AP for everything. Don’t have a wallet. It’s excellent.

I used the Apple Pay in an actual shop for the first time today. Forgot my wallet, so the nerves were through the roof. You’ll be pleased to know, the transaction went through seamlessly.
