@timfarron Also a treasured possession

Released 40 years ago today and it remains my most precious material possession. In my humble opinion, the best album made by anyone ever. A thing of sublime beauty from start to finish.

@timfarron I have one too...

@PennyMacaroni H*B2U, HB2U HB dear P.... HB2U *given values etc etc

@LBFlyawayhome Oh yes... On my shelf with The Enormous Turnip, Rumplestiltskin, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella... 😉

I’m not sure how many people will remember this book. The illustrations by Robert Lumley are brimming with character but they’re more than a bit scary

@IMcMillan Surely Dewsbury?

Just a joke I do where I pretend he wrote it on different northern stations and people correct me, often with photographic evidence. It was Irlam.

@mackles01 It's so not 'travel writing' - a personal journey with a political and ethical edge, looking back...

@Norfolkknitter Ooo that sounds like the sort of thing I would enjoy

I've been really enjoying reading non-fiction recently. Whats the best non-fiction book you've read recently & would recommend?

@PennyMacaroni Maybe later - on the shopping list 😉

@TommyShakes @DrMatthewSweet @BBCRadio4 It's brilliant - I've got the 'Leicester Fiesta' earworm already after hearing the programme twice this week... Plus Victoria Wood!

@govindajeggy Niche... But excellent!

Nicolas Cage walks into a bar with John Travolta in 1997. The barman says "why the wrong face?"

@neilnunes1 @JohnSimpsonNews @BBCRadio4 @bbcworldservice How great to see you all... Companions through the day and night and my thanks ❤️

Happy New Year ! From us here at @BBCRadio4 and @bbcworldservice news readers and L-R Alan Smith, Neil Nunes (yours truly) and the Great doyenne, Sue Montgomery

@officialnhaynes Completing this beaded shawl for my DD - the pattern is Elektra by @RomiDesigns and keeping an eye on those tour dates as I missed you in Norwich recently...

I’ll be touring Stone Blind in the spring, and Pandora 2 in the autumn. If I am not coming to a town near you, it’s not because I don’t want to, it’s because there is no more time and I have a book deadline to meet! 📚🎤 What are you looking forward to in 2023?

New Year Janus thread part 2: looking forward to 2023 Stone Blind will be out in the US on February 7th! harpercollins.com/products/stone… She will also be out in the Netherlands in February (under a different title) and lots of other countries during the year - stay tuned…

@revkatebottley @JaneyGodley "Oh hush the noise, ye men of strife And hear the angels sing" Gets me every time.

My favourite Christmas hymn is “in the Bleak Midwinter”

@timfarron Does listening to my playlist of the year instead count? It appears to be 'Swoon' and 'Steve McQueen' all mixed up with 'Home' by Cattle and Cane - excellent band from Teesside

Two very good goals. 2-0 probably flatters us a bit, but not complaining. Going to spend half time contemplating how much better the World Cup would be if there was a second round group stage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇸🇳

@PennyMacaroni Thank you! 🎂

@PennyMacaroni Sounds painful 😉

@PennyMacaroni Ooops 😳

H*B2U, HB2U, HB Dear @PennyMacaroni, HB2U xxx *given value etc etc...

I think this bobbin is full! 😂 #tourdefleece #plying

End of the first week of the TdeF spinning - 2/3 BFL and sparkle from @wildcraftuk and 1/3 grey Finn. I'm going to pet it for a while until it decides which shawl it wants to be 😁
