Boheme at @RoyalOperaHouse is back - it may never go away this time - and I am waving my pink bonnet (not a euphemism) for the splendid @mantashyanruzan as Mimi and @LaurenAshFagan as Musetta. My review 👇 https://t.co/75ZdGqosGO

@SignumRecords @rowan_pierce @RGCWbaritone @chrisglynn00 Thrilled to see this now released - and look forward to next week!

But the young man in the car in front with his two small children was asked if he had any concealed weapons or knives in the car…..net result was a 15 minute wait for the handful of cars trying to get on the next shuttle.

On our way to France, surreal experience at UK police check at @LeShuttle - were we taking large quantity of cash with us. Answer no. So you are planning to use cards are you? Yes, (it’s the 21st century isn’t it and exchange controls were abolished in 1973 weren’t they?).

[Christopher Bown @chrisbown56]

Two of my favourite people together, if only I had known. Sarah and Rowan see you soon!

@juliusdrake @BBCInTune @spconnolly @BBCRadio3 Fabulous listening, from South west France!

[Christopher Bown @chrisbown56]

@spconnolly I think that the day 2 PCR test is still required, but apparently to be swapped for a lateral flow test, though argument over whether you have to video yourself doing it or just send an image of the result. Yes, I know……

[Lauren Fagan @LaurenAshFagan]

Getting more and more excited for The Wreckers!
