  1. Betrayal and perfidy. Infamy, infamy. Camouflage green curtains clash with lilac velvet rug. Tuscan herbs replaced with rations.
  2. Unable to speak, let alone tweet. Barbarism. Vandalism. Is nothing sacred? My soap selection desecrated. Tea bags in place of leaves.
  3. Looking forward to the sweet, velvet charms of #CasaBarnes. Lapsang, home made chocolate, ginseng, and The Pines a short canter away.
  4. “@wise_kaplan: If you read 50 Shades of Grey in the German translation, trust me, your boner will go away very quickly.” Quite the opposite.
  5. Think I've managed to tweet from plane without being caught by the stewa
  6. @GeneralCrawford Very amusing Crawfie. You well know my views on tattoos.
  7. The vendor at the fish and chip kiosk looked askance when I asked if he had a tartare and ginseng coulis, and a zesty sauvignon.
  8. “@hebeindc: @GeneralCrawford not enough meat on that one.” Ahem.
  9. All this Welsh damp makes me pine for The Pines. But have prepared 3 hour commentary for Cardiff historical walk with @GeneralCrawford
  10. I simply do not understand the appeal of camping. Haven't we evolved towards houses, central heating, Rioja, towels and steam rooms?
  11. My picnic has more élan: cold tongue, horseradish, taramasalata, home made hummus, wheatgrass smoothie, avocado, chorizo and zesty Chablis
  12. @GeneralCrawford My underwear is not XL. How is Rhys?
  13. To Wales. Where I am sporting a dashing silk kilt to impress natives. And @GeneralCrawford is learning to shear sheep, #naked
  14. In my defence, I would have played clothed. But powers that be deemed my plus fours too garish.
  15. Woke up with faint memories of running down Edinburgh High with @RGSWinter yelping that we were on fire. Happy days. Have spent day steaming
  16. Never say goodbye, never say goodbye, you and me and our dear friends, hoping it would never end #neversaygoodbye #hic
  17. Few whiskies in, singing Bon Jovi with a local, @RGSWinter. #andyoulostmorethanthatonmybackseat
  18. Salmon for me, more haggis for @GeneralCrawford, who insists on eating it raw and with bare hands. #ochaye
