@catherine_allin
,where has the time gone. ❤️
As most of you know,this year has been extra special for us. 💍
It's goodbye to not just one of the best foreign shows,but one of the best tv shows ever full stop. Nail biting from start to finish,i've enjoyed every single second. There are rumours of it carrying on or a spin off....who knows. Merci for the memories.

I'm thinking of doing a
@carltonkirby
appreciation day where we share photos,videos and stories about the great man. It will be an annual event the day before the start of the Tour De France....who's in ?
It's Quentin Tarantino's birthday today,i knew the UK Premiere of Pulp Fiction was at my favourite cinema in Nottingham but didn't realise it was only the 2nd ever showing,after Cannes. I also didn't know that Broadway Cinema had the UK Premiere of Silence Of The Lambs.

Poets Corner,The Meadows v Poets Corner,Westminster Abbey. You'll learn more about life in 5 mins in this legendary Notts pub than by reading all the work of those poets combined. Last time i was there a man was dressed as a cowboy with a cucumber in his holster.

Thank you to everyone who got involved,we had some great pubs nominated. 🍺
Most nights we've ended the evening at this bar. The heavens opened and everyone rushed in,not us of course, being English we found somewhere to hide. We'd built up a relationship with the landlady and she gave a speech about our engagement as we left,the whole bar cheered. 😢
Today is the first ever Carlton Kirby Appreciation Day,it will be held every year on Tour De France Eve.
We'll pay homage to our favourite cycling commentator through your stories,photos,videos or anything else you can come up with.
