Not good enough @TheRSC. Site is in meltdown. Don't blame it on members, who subscribe for priority booking benefits; it's down to your servers/systems.

[The RSC @TheRSC]

📢 Our website is experiencing a lot of traffic due to Members' booking opening today - it may be slower than expected, but please bear with us and do try again later if necessary.

Our teams are working on processing orders as quickly as possible and tickets remain available.

Temperature here a bit of a shock after Orkney, but a great day so far with @williamdonovan and @Barker4Kate .

Farewell to Stromness. For the time being, anyway.

@OAS_Orkney Did exactly the same last week on the way to Orkney. A real treat, and looking forward to more insights into the AS/Viking origins of the Hoard.

This afternoon on Orkney - the rain stopped and the sun finally came out. Glorious.

I'm all in favour of spreading the word about John Aldridge RA, whom I've researched and published on, and who deserves wider recognition, but it would be nice if other people writing about him acknowledged their sources.😬

@gabiswallow @ghmbellenes @RoyalOperaHouse @fatboyclayton If it’s E29 it’s the one I’ve had to give up today in the grip of post-Covid. Devastated, but enjoy wherever!

A sunny send off for the Art of Great Bardfield as it leaves @WolfsonArts @WolfsonCam to return to @FryArtGallery in time for the gallery reopening in May. Thanks to all who helped, and to all the visitors who left such appreciative comments.

[Peter Donovan @PeterDonovan]

The Art of Great Bardfield looked very good in its @WolfsonCam surroundings and drew many appreciative reactions from college and visitors. Thanks to all the team who helped put up the show I curated. Hopefully we can bring some more @FryArtGallery works in again in future.

[Wolfson Arts @WolfsonArts]

A fond farewell to The Art of Great Bardfield exhibition and a heartfelt thank you to @FryArtGallery for sharing these delightful artworks @WolfsonCam

[Wolfson Arts @WolfsonArts]
