Delighted to get a place in this @TheGalleryPress series of poetry workshops with the brilliant Grace Wilentz. 🙏🏻

And Gallery Press!

@manuthebest58 One of my favourite soundtracks.

Legendary composer Bernard Herrmann contributed immensely to "Vertigo"'s emotional impact. His hypnotic, intensely romantic score is one of the most memorable in movie history. Hitchcock's favorite composer was the instrument of the director's innermost feelings.

Mono-culture farming devastates the rest of nature. Farmlands continue to lose much of their wildlife, bees, birds, insects, amphibians. But each generation measures "normal" nature against what existed in their childhood; not what existed before. So we don't mourn the Auroch, Quagga, Eastern Elk, or drained wetland. We never knew them. We each inherit a slightly emptier world & call it normal, a shifting baseline syndrome. Humans are remarkably adaptive... dangerously so.

@guywalters @nickfshort Double dumplings for double trouble.

Absolutely no doubt that @nickfshort and I can't say no to DOUBLE dumplings. When in Prague...

@nickfshort @guywalters Nick, you were obviously born with a silver cup in your mouth!

You meet the strangest people in #Prague.

@RogerMooreFan The Man With the Golden Bum. 😂

The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) #JamesBond

Once again I am begging you to remember that today is ALSO St. Gertrude’s Day, the patron saint of cats 🐈

The mega pints alone have sold it.

@maureenwrig @guywalters Who had the most negronis?!

@guywalters And, if you're really lucky, Negroni.

Just a few places left for my tour of the Great Escape and Colditz with @WeAreTripsmiths and the indomitable Clive Harris of @bhltours from the 13-18 April! Learn what life was really like in these camps, and then follow the escape routes. (Includes beer.) tripsmiths.com/tours/guy-walt…

@wisteriaheight @guywalters Look, no hands.

@guywalters Ahem.

@guywalters I think you should run a competition for the wittiest response. First prize being a free place on this trip. 😬

My Colditz and Great Escape tour also features dodgy shirts, occasional branded merch, steins of Helles, great rations, and dodgy shirts (but no dodgy trousers). tripsmiths.com/tours/guy-walt…

@guywalters Shouldn’t that sign say Walt instead of Halt?

Heading for the cooler...

@guywalters Epic! 😂🕺🏻

The sun shone bravely; and a copse which had worn its firs all the year round seemed old and dowdy now beside the new green lace which the beeches had put on so prettily. Through copse and spinney marched Bear; over rocky beds of streams. ~A.A.Milne #Spring

Despite at times vicious criticism of White House visit @MichealMartinTD has had a very good day. Defended @Keir_Starmer & European positions robustly. Support for Ukraine very important. A good day for Ireland.

For 35 years, Hollywood legend Harrison Ford has been the public face of @ConservationOrg, but he’s also wielded his influence behind the scenes, petitioning state-level decision-makers for urgent conservation action. Discover his next steps: on.natgeo.com/xewbZ1 #NatGeo33

@Stockbridge_81 @guywalters @nickfshort Those PVC trousers also made a great escape from Colditz only to return every year.

@nickfshort I'd love to do this trip but have concerns over Guy's trousers.

If you enjoy #WW2 #history yours, you will love this! Top historians will guide you through complex stories and the beer choices. #WNTL?

Bless you St.Gertrude
