Walking the Camino Real was as uplifting as it was tiring. I always wanted to do it. I completed my pilgrimage last month. My reasons were personal, my inspiration were 2 friends who have risen high following tragic losses #camerongrantmemorialtrust #finlayportermemorialtrust 1/2

@Andrew007Uk @UKinKolkata @Kevinmccfc @AlineDobbie @RoyGardner007 @inBritish @BCScotland I am so glad you were able to visit Andrew. A place dear to my heart. I visited with my father so many times when I was young & he was a governor! Efforts continue to raise funds to support the school, the pupils, many from the poorest in society. #drgrahamshomes

2/2 Please support these worthy and deserving causes. One supports an educational scholarship, the other offers mental health support.

@Andrew007Uk @sheffieldfc @UKinKolkata @NonLeagueCrowd @groundhobbler @daveharry007 @PeterRMiles @micpetersen @TerraceEdition I played cricket there as a young boy. I still have an old “Ditchers” rugby shirt that my father wore from the 60’s. Happy memories of old Ballygunge!

No new stadiums & now set for the second in two days thanks to the due diligence of @CookieInUK 🙏🏻

Missed the former tenants Clyde at Broadwood; meanwhile the current ones did not make todays final; it is between @BonessUnited_FC & @officialEKFC for the League Cup.

@Andrew007Uk @LintonHotspurs @cdloft89 @davidstoker_lfc @NonLeagueCrowd Does it beat a Killie Pie - reputedly the best pie on sale in a Scottish Football stadium? @KilmarnockFC #RugbyPark - “Better than the mince on the pitch”

[Peter Cook @CookieInUK]

@rosiegrieves @UKinKolkata @Andrew007Uk Couldn’t agree more! Top people make a top team!

I failed to make it 'hometown Scotland during my last UK visit but here I am in India's Scotland of the North East. My second visit and even more beautiful than the first.

Do you know the Indian state I M referring to?

Have you visited?

Would you like to?

[UKinKolkata🇬🇧🇮🇳 @UKinKolkata]

Here’s wishing you all the best @CookieInUK - The team here at Kolkata would miss you.

Here’s some snapshots from the brief time you spent with us last year.

Yesterday was my last working day as a diplomat with @FCDOGovUK . After nearly 43 years it is time to lay down my pen. So thankful for the many blessings, bounties and friendships that came my way along those years. Humbled, Honoured & Happy #RestandBeThankful

I was so proud to visit Scottish Church College in Kolkata last year & receive the warmest of welcomes from this noble & distinguished institution. Thanks to the Principal Dr Madhumanjari Mandal - check out their latest video - https://t.co/Ryk5pF15sy @scc_kol @Andrew007Uk

@Andrew007Uk @joshimanasi11 Missing India - the might look bright here but it is still too cold in UK.🥶

[Peter Cook @CookieInUK]

Peace and joy to all my friends in Kolkata this festive. I join in fellowship with all from St Paul's, St Andrew's, St John's and CNI Wesleyan Church to celebrate this special day.

Happy Christmas from St. Paul's Cathedral, Kolkata where I have just witnessed a moving & beautiful midnight enjoyed by people of multiple faiths.

Wish all friends and followers health and happiness.
