@ChoirOfTheEarth @JoForbesLE @marmaladetrust Truly wonderful, love the arrangement &voices. A coincidence, ventured in a world of trees, blue skies, and in river Wandle, shaking hands with 4 friends and experiencing some wondrous moments earlier this week. So, I thought I would share some memories. #WonderfulWorld #nature

@googlearts I once had a random conversation with an old gent, who had lived through 5 monarchs, and he mentioned the best period was 1920s. I would like to travel back to the age of jazz, wear the fashions, etc Another one would have to be to go back to Handel's time, and sing Hallelujah...

If you could time travel to any major cultural event in history, what would you choose?

@sciencemuseum ago (I call them holy clams, as so well preserved & friends are in Lourdes pilgrimage nr Pyreenees mountains 😁). Off to explore planets 🚀🪐 plus an interesting talk on stars & science fiction films e.g. Star Wars that feature some real science (Deathstar is fiction). #SMLates

Welcome to Stargazing Lates! 🔭✨ It’s time to embark on a stellar adventure as we welcome visitors to #SMLates 🌟

@sciencemuseum Greetings from the space aficionados, and thank you for a great evening, to stargazing and beyond. The Skyview lite app was amazing, showing different constellations, amd how to view the might sky using the planishere. Fossils from millions of years #SMLates #Wednesdayvibe

@Cartoonmuseumuk the rest in the background, which is similiar to a portrait mode on a camera phone. Also, liked the drawing room, full of mischievous characters from Beano, and an old cartoon strip of Barbie (1967). #OpenHouseFestival

@Cartoonmuseumuk Went in with curiosity on Sunday for Open house festival, and came out chuckling 😁 An interesting talk on the early Viz and comics. James Gillray from 18th century (3rd pic) had the foresight to draw the main person in forefront, then blur #OpenHouseFestival

@ghiblipicture The adventures of Lilyflower and Peter pig 🪷🐷

What's the name of this anime? Wrong answers only

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke standing up to applaud a show, well I beg to differ. When we have done a show, the response has been surprising from the audience, with not one, not 2 or 3 people, but a wave of people. That is music to our ears.

From @MsRachelCooke’s excellent interview amp.theguardian.com/culture/2023/s…

Standing up to applaud this, from Andrew Scott

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke a modern opera/ musical back in 2014 and some of us went to support some of the workshop leaders at Tete a Tete. The music was rather hard on the ears but the rest of the show was good, so we only clapped and didn't stand up. What Mr Scott has brought up that it can be lonely

@mrianleslie @MsRachelCooke An interesting article- yes and no to standing ovations. If the performance is exceptional and unexpected, then yes, I have cheered and clapped. If the performance is rather lacklustre, I still applaud but don't stand up, which was at a West End play. Another occasion was at a

@thecityofldn @BroadgateLondon @AldgateConnect @TfL It was like going down memory lane passing by St Botolphs-without-Aldgate church, where we used to have music workshops, then the splendour & colour of Bollywood and Colombian dance shows in the modern Aldgate Sq.

@BCLocalHistory as far as Gallows bridge of 1820 and noticed the original name was known as Grand Junction canal. So interesting to learn the Grand Union canal joins along river Brent. The wildlife and air quality is great #BrentfordCanal #BankHoliday #nature

@BCLocalHistory Had a most idyllic time on Bank holiday Monday, from a noisy motorway M4 which straddles across Boston Manor & Hounslow, came upon an enchanted part of Brentford canal &woods. Is Braunston on the way to Birmingham? A mighty long way on foot. Only got #Bankholiday

@historyinmemes A brave man indeed. I saw a film Exodus to Shanghai inspired by true events of Dr Ho, which was on Amazon Prime. The film can be seen on fashion tv ftv.com/ho/

This is Ho Feng-Shan, a Chinese diplomat stationed in Vienna during World War II. He defied strict orders to save thousands of Jewish lives by granting them visas. Often called the "Chinese Schindler," his name deserves recognition. While the exact count is uncertain due to lost records, he issued nearly 2,000 visas during his early diplomatic tenure, with some estimates reaching almost 4,000. Xu Xin, a Jewish studies professor at Nanjing University, suggests that Ho may have saved over 5,000 lives, making him one of the first diplomats to take decisive action to protect Jews. Amid rising violence against Jews fueled by Nazi propaganda, Ho met Lilith-Sylvia Doron by chance in 1938. He shielded her family from harm, relying on his diplomatic status. Gerda Gottfried Kraus recounted how her husband sought refuge at the Chinese consulate after Kristallnacht. Unable to enter, he tossed his application into a diplomat's car, which Ho Feng-Shan received, granting them visas. When Nazis seized the embassy, Ho established a new office at his own expense to continue issuing visas. His efforts persisted until May 1940 when he was ordered to return to China. Ho Feng-Shan passed away in 1997 at age 96. In 2000, Israel honored him with the "Righteous Among the Nations" award for his heroic actions during the Holocaust.

@kingscrossN1C More blue skies and memories, with a pleasant stroll along the canal path. Liked the floating garden, and a pair of happy geese, cooling off in the water. #KingsCross #canal #geese #Bluesky #Sunday

Nothing but blue skies this week please! 🌞 Thank you @kingscross.ldn for sharing this worm's eye view of Gasholder Park in King's Cross. We love to see your photos, simply tag @kingscrossn1c so we can share the love!

@kingscrossN1C @CoalDropsYard The finale over the weekend was superdooper with a variety of choirs, and music dances for the little ones. A mashup from @SomeVoicesSing as the final choir went down well, and got the audience clapping and boogie woogie. #SummerSounds #Sunday

@gamechoir Wowsers! The Halo Gregorian chant has such a timeless feel, and perfect to start the day with many benefits: relaxation, gentle exercise, before a big game or concert, good warm up for the voice, and reverberating of sounds together around the world to create positivity. #Halo

World Cup final day. COME ON ENGLAND! 🦁

People and places: hidden gem in Soho quarter Photographers gallery, London, interesting photo exhibition-cockle pickers (Evelyn Hofer), opera reverberated at summer sounds festival @E_N_O and thrilling water fountain show in Granary Sq, Kings Cross #WorldPhotographyDay

@kingscrossN1C A great picture. Hope you have many blue skies too. Seeing it reflected in the canal was lovely. The park area is great with Club Petanque & some groups were playing. Tasty food in Babel beerhouse & taught how to play table football. Scored a 1st goal! #sundayvibes #teamspirit
