So good to see #Tooting Bec Lido open again – it also means that we get to see lifeguard Thea's fantastic photos on the slsclido Instagram, like this one of the lido at first light this morning!

Lord Deben says to applause: “This government has gone back on its commitments on international trade…to desperately pretend leaving the EU was a good thing they have been forced to sign up to trade deals with countries that do not meet our standards in the UK.” #orfc24
What a brilliant two days at #ORFC24. We are really looking forward to bringing you some special episodes from the conference on Farmerama Radio. Watch this space!
Big thanks to the team @ORFC. Until next year!
