@PictureSporting And here’s the same event from directly opposite, so you must be in the background!

@WindrushCricket @GeorgeDobell1 Just started reading it, and already learnt a good deal. Fascinating topic.

I’ve heard this rumour too. Clearly people should get themselves to Wormsley tomorrow to watch - all in a very good cause.

Join us for a brilliant day of Q&As, friends, and New Zealand legend Jeremy Coney umpiring! Tickets: Marquee £90 (best value at England’s most beautiful ground) or grass bank £20. All profits to the Tavs. Link in bio and show notes! bit.ly/45ejOYu

@secretHT1 The particular ‘highlight’ was the New Year’s Eve update, wasn’t it.

Covid as a HT was just so wild. More than it seemed. Between 2020 and 2022, 13 unique guidance docs were sent to school settings. These were updated 320 times in two years, averaging 3 updates a week. Each update meant checking, rewriting and resending to staff/parents. Mad.

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the home of Amersham CC in Buckinghamshire

@WG_RumblePants Think I might have taken this picture! Glorious ground, lovely people (including me…!)

@seatsixtyone A beautiful town and area. We travelled there by train last summer, all the way from Buckinghamshire. The sleeper from Vienna to Brasov was fun!

BUDAPEST TO BRASOV on the sleeper train ‘Corona’. A classic soviet-era sleeping-car, with dinner in the diner. 🛏️

Hot on the heels of their last day at school yesterday 23 of our yr 13 students, and some recent alumni, celebrated achieving their D of E gold award at Buckingham Palace this morning - a wonderful recognition of their endeavours!

@British_Airways the stunning view from the window seat (23A) we paid £72 for on BA2159. Nothing on the seat map to indicate this window seat doesn’t have a window. Refund/compensation?

@dustshoveller And now, in a display of European unity and collaboration, a Reine Gallette

@dustshoveller Käse…

I love cooking and having people round for dinner. But one of my absolutely favourite festive things needs no cooking and that is the assembly of a PROPER dessert plate.

It’s probably not a surprise to learn that I am at Lord’s today. You could be too, at our 400th anniversary Celebration of @DCGSSport dinner in the Long Room on 1 November with guest speaker @millarmind and m/c @collinsadam. Tickets here: challoners.com/c/our-school/4…

But the online journey planner isn’t showing any trains to/from Amersham @TfL. I’ve just searched a one stop journey to Chalfont & Latimer and it says to get the bus. Is the problem with the trains or with the website?

Paging @collinsadam…

@OurCofELike @MCCOfficial …and it wasn’t! We got home by 19 runs in an excellent game. Thanks and congratulations to @CharlburyCC on their 150th anniversary, and for putting on such a terrific celebration of cricket and community yesterday.

@OurCofELike The @MCCOfficial team is now fortified by hog roast, and inspired by the fact that the shire horses are dressed in MCC colours. This game ain’t over yet…

The Hook Norton brewery shire horses arrive to mock the MCC for their not particularly impressive total at lunch. Morris dancing to follow in order to further psychologically intimidate the opposition.
