@LittleSpottyHen Perhaps Harry will get married, then you can wave flags all over again. 8:35 AM May 24th via web in reply to LittleSpottyHen
@Hayefarm Dare I ask why you're showering the pigs? Show time? 8:35 AM May 24th via web in reply to Hayefarm
@LadyRedearth @recklesb1969 Been there, done that. Loved living in Oz for a while (though there's something about UK). 11:25 AM May 23rd via web in reply to LadyRedearth
Pekin bantams running towards me for tea one of world's best sights. All look like they've broken their knicker elastic. 11:24 AM May 23rd via web
@Hayefarm @hayefarm Any chance you could tell me how to put photos on in less than 140 characters?! Pretty please?! 11:18 AM May 23rd via web in reply to Hayefarm
@Hayefarm Follow you, that is (didn't quite make sense on re-read). 11:16 AM May 23rd via web in reply to Hayefarm
@teacupskneesups It's great isn't it? And so warm with it (doesn't always follow). 11:15 AM May 23rd via web in reply to teacupskneesups
@LadyRedearth @frecklesb1969 You'll love it and think of all of that lovely sun. And scenery. And UK will still be there to come back to. 11:14 AM May 23rd via web in reply to LadyRedearth

Wow, Bath looks nice today. Hard to improve on really, for a city (I'm biased, but still ...) 6:48 AM May 23rd via web
@MillOnTheLane That's just about perfect. Perhaps a small chunk of chocolate with the coffee, but it's even a bit hot for that. Enjoy! 1:24 AM May 23rd via web in reply to MillOnTheLane
Wish I could tweet from my phone. Prob just as well that I can't because I have a feeling I'd never shut up ... 1:23 AM May 23rd via web
