My first holiday in god knows how long... Saved and saved to go to Jamaica cancelled by @TUIUK due to “IT outage” - email came in at 8:30pm just before we were going to bed for the night and we were going tomorrow morning. Disgusting customer service.

@JH7123 @SimonCalder On a Sunday night when no phone lines are open and customer service robots on app and website aren't answering... Very clever!

A fantastic return for the @AlpineGardenSoc Kent show on Saturday. With a competitive open and intermediate section to feast the eyes upon as well as a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends. A couple more firsts were in order too

@westhamtransfer Saw him at craven cottage week ago, he was a disaster against Sunderland in the cup, dodgy every time he touched the ball, error led to the first goal. Not good enough.

I've been to the @AlpineGardenSoc alpine show at @RHSHarlowCarr today so here is a goth viola. #alpines #succulents #viola

My rosulate violas are slowly growing. 2 from last years success and then this years batch growing on nicely. Let's hope they maintain their shape!

After 32 years at the RBGE Elspeth is retiring. She has spent all this time looking and caring for the Alpine section. We all wish her well and she will be greatly missed @TheBotanics #rbgehort

[Sally Cram @sallycram]

Today marked Elspeth’s retirement after 32 years of working at RBGE. I feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with her during my AGS placement. She is incredibly generous with her knowledge and time #rbgehort #alpine #lastinglegacy
