As some of my connections know, when not working I can often be found on 2 wheels. I volunteer with #SevernFreewheelers Blood Bikes; this great day out is a major fundraiser for us. Check it out!

@RMW136 The #Worcestershire squirrels seem keener on peanuts than fat balls, which is just as well as the fat balls are being monopolised by baby starlings :-)

If you are a small business worried about your #CyberSecurity take a look at the
@NCSC
website - they offer practical, down-to-earth advice for the #SME community. You can sign up to their small organisation newsletter here: https://t.co/XjLj5iP1w0

@SarahJubbWant I'd have a look at the @DecathlonUK range here: https://t.co/E3cPGYVaSK

I've used one of their rechargeable head torches for years and it is excellent - maybe not cheap, but good value.

[Alan Anderson @Alan_Changes]

@SJSEdmonds @WelshRugbyUnion @SixNationsRugby What better way for @WelshRugbyUnion to win the @SixNationsRugby than for @Scotlandteam to beat France?

Congratulations!

[Alan Anderson @Alan_Changes]

@RMW136 A good day for the #CelticNations so far; can @WelshRugbyUnion make it 3/3 in Paris this evening?

@SJSEdmonds @SixNationsRugby @WalesRugby Bit sad not to show Italy at all!

Some serious questions for @Scotlandteam to have played so much brilliant rugby and yet be so low in the table (again!)

[Alan Anderson @Alan_Changes]

I'm sorry, who are the 6%?? Can't possibly be proper fans!
