@michael_merrick Touché

@bartonsensei Well of course - the residents wouldn't accept anything less 😉

Tech-minded people please help: BT offering me £50 a month for (around) 20-24Mbps download, Starlink is £35 quid for 100Mbps - is there any reason why this is not a no-brainer?

@herdyshepherd1 "when"...?

When I’m old I’m either gonna either keep my mouth shut about things I don’t understand Or ask younger farmers why they are doing things differently and maybe learn a thing or two from them…

What a time to be alive We’ve restored 500m of zombie hedgerow near our local town And planted 185m of new hedgerow And got nothing but grief for it…

@herdyshepherd1 Genius film

Just watched The Holdovers Excellent movie You should too

@herdyshepherd1 Dawn comes early, with rosy fingers.

Odysseus the bull. Doing bull type stuff, which is a bit like buffalo type stuff.

@herdyshepherd1 James, this is clearly a spider.

What’s this called? Thanks It’s body is as big as my thumbnail - roughly

@herdyshepherd1 Rosy fingered

I have read about five translations of the Odyssey, maybe six, and all make it completely different and yet I always love it regardless There is magic in those stories

@herdyshepherd1 Lovely film

And if you want to know more about Sheila Fell head to the gallery at Tullie House, Carlisle Or watch this gem of a programme by Melvyn Bragg in 1963 youtu.be/L4lkWZ6KadA?si…

A friend messaged me the other day and said I must go and see this retrospective on Sheila Fell’s work I had planned to go but it gave me the extra push I needed to go to Carlisle

Read. This. Book.

@herdyshepherd1 Love you James x

Somehow we don’t have snow. When lots of you do, very grateful.

I work in Leeds now, so I've had to join a Yorkshire Slang FB page. I rather enjoyed this... facebook.com/share/v/15YoW5…

The fab team at @Child_Leeds have developed a fantastic guide to children centre activities during #BabyWeekLeeds - how brilliant is it to see so many events during 1 week 👀💜👇

youtube.com/watch?v=d14rwZ… Thanks to the Leeds DAHIT team. I now know that when I'm asking for the bill in a restaurant, I'm actually saying the wrong thing!!

I just don't understand where all the butterflies have gone .. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@herdyshepherd1 Will there be a buffet?

I’m actually going to the Labour Party Conference to speak briefly - a very rare foray in to the murk of politics Will not be at all surprised if that invite is pulled - if it isn’t, it’s gonna be interesting because I’ll be saying exactly what I believe and bluntly

@stlukes_cares @Jules_10001 @Child_Leeds What a pleasure to meet you all! Thank you and let's get things moving! #calltoaction

Thanks to @Jules_10001 and @bartonsensei for coming to meet with our Changemaker group this week over in South Leeds to chat about ideas on how we can improve inclusivity in education and the community! #youthvoice #chooseyouthwork @Child_Leeds

Excited to be welcoming new Head Teachers to our fantastic city this morning. A time of enormous challenge, but equally enormous opportunity. So much we can achieve together for our children and families. Stronger in partnership. Thank you to @PwC_UK for hosting! @Child_Leeds

@HelenStevenson4 @michael_merrick And scalloped spoons with coats of arms.

@michael_merrick When we stopped buying over-sized pencils with large rubbers on the end as souvenirs 😉

When did we stop having barometers in our houses? And lucky horse shoes, horse brasses/tacks, and flying ducks. And a pouffet. And a bosson heads, and cuckoo clocks, and silver spoons with crests of seaside towns. And thimbles. And pewter mugs for winning at dominoes or whatever.
