@seanehewitt @dylanthomprize Huge congratulations! It’s richly deserved - an incredibly beautiful and resonant collection ❤️

@bushraelturk @GuildhallAlumni Aw thanks Bushra. Huge congrats. Was such a total joy to work with you. Very happy memories! Anyway, it’s about time you came back into Guildhall - will be in touch.

@MattAlexSt @GWRHelp @OllyGloverLD It’s terrible Matt. I feel your pain and GWR just don’t seem to give a flying **** about it. Not optimistic about it getting better anytime soon. No doubt the next thing will be another fare increase to increase their profits.

@christysnr @BostonSymphony @ReturnofRR @RenaudMachart @jonathanclinch @BMusicSociety Tchaikovsky is pretty special too!

@MattAlexSt @GWRHelp @OllyGloverLD It’s just so so bad right now and getting worse. Not sure how much more of this crap service we can all put up with.

@comedylopez So sorry you were subjected to this. What a horrible experience.

@zoelpalmer @CleoSylvestre @NHSHomerton I’m so sorry to read this Zoe. Sending you lots of love and strength.

@MattAlexSt @PaulCliftonBBC @OllyGloverLD Experiencing outrage of increased rail fares on GWR this morning. Totally disgusting - travelling public burdened with extra cost on a grossly overpriced rail service, deteriorating badly for years. When on earth will this be addressed?

@natoperastudio @lucyloveslondon A fantastic appointment! Couldn’t think of anyone better. Huge congrats to Lucy.

@OllyGloverLD Nothing for an hour now. No trains or info. Waiting like mugs in vain hope of a train. #GWR staff: fault lies with #NetworkRail - maintenance teams cut back so much that this line can’t be maintained, so constant disruption. Such a sh*t ripoff @GWRHelp

RT @chrisriddell50: Five years…a sketchbook of political drawings.

@OllyGloverLD Me too. @gwrgelp SO consistently unreliable. Signal/points/line failures now endemic. Service has deteriorated so much in past decade. Don’t understand why continual problems aren’t properly addressed? Compounded by poor info & grossly overpriced ticketing.

@mezzocheryl It’s such a difficult time - really tough. So sorry you’re struggling. Try and stay strong Cheryl xx

@sacha_coward Really happy for you Sacha. Huge congratulations! Can’t wait to delve in. Very up my street 🧜‍♂️😊

@elifnur How fantastic Elif. Very delighted for you! That’s brilliant news.

Despite slugaggedon, delighted to say that some #dahlias have made it through and are now in full late summer splendour. Hoping I can coax them along well into the autumn. First dahlia pictured is called rhubarb & custard! 😋

@CScottClarinet Such a joy to work with you again Cat. Thanks so much for all your completely fabulous playing!
