@ZelenskyyUa one person can't do very much, but I just wanted to say that I fully support Ukraine and your brave efforts to stand against the cruel Russian invasion. I hope that you have been welcomed and supported in the UK. Best wishes and good luck.

@gridcustomersuk Will do - thank you.

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@gridcustomersuk is there a powercut in NP18 (Caerleon). Several houses in our street seem to have lost power.

@DerekTheWeather @BBCWales Happy Christmas Derek. Any cold weather on the way?

@Lucy_Worsley @TracyBorman Speaking as one who is Lincolnshire born, I think it is quite the accolade that we upset the old tyrant 🙂

@MonAnts Hi @MonAnts could you please contact the Monmouthshire Antiquarian Association secretary (Janet Bailey). If you are able to DM me, I can pass on details.

@LeandadeLisle Have you seen this church? It's a real treasure. I can't think of anywhere else that better gives a sense of what a Pre-Reformation church looked like. https://t.co/pNY1bEeL3c

@keridavies Very powerful and moving episode. Excellent writing and acting.

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@HistoryExtra Is there any way that we can accurately calculate the impact of the Blitz on the daily life of an average Londoner?

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@HistoryExtra How much warning did the sirens give generally?

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@HistoryExtra Newport. Roman fortress at Caerleon, Chartist Uprising and lots of maritime history. We also have the footprints in the estuary that date back many thousands of years.

@DrRebeccaTidy We don't live in Cornwall, but follow the page because we holiday there. Very sarcastic and unprofessional responses to people. Goodness knows why they think that's a sensible way to engage with their readers.

@Matt_Pinner 50+20+9+1+5=85. Looks ridiculous when written down!

@LeandadeLisle @_paullay @MirandaMalins @MuseumCromwell @Cromwellorg @Cromwell_Buff I vaguely remember hearing about a vicar being removed from his post, because he ate too much custard!

@TheRegencyCook I'm definitely thinking about a break, if not outright quitting. Trouble is, I feel that now more than ever, we need to use our voices to stand against the hate. Bit of a dilemma. Beautiful sweet peas, though, and I think I can also see a few cornflowers as well.

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@ApsanaBegumMP Thank you for saying this. You are absolutely right. Parliament must be recalled a.s.a.p. As a nation, we need our leaders to be the voice of the decent, respectful majority, and let the thugs know that there is no place for their hate here.

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@Taj_Ali1 Nor should you go away and I am sorry that recent (and not so recent) events have made you feel this way. I hate that people I respect and value, who have enriched my life, are being treated so badly. I believe that the voices of respect, kindness, and yes love will win out.

[Adrian Smith @adesmith1972]

@Rhi2009 We're all good thanks 🙂 Say hello to your mum. Hope you are well.
