After 5 years living in Italy it's good to be back in Yorkshire. Passionate about the food we eat, committed to social justice, determined to make a difference.

@_William_DUFFY_ Absolutely not alone...I feel exactly the same. I cherish my daily Wordle time and consider it a matter of personal honour to solve it in 4 or less but then prompt forget moments later what the solution was...

@In_Otter_News2 This Twitter feed is definitely the reason my mental health is holding up better than expected. However, I am now addicted to videos of cute water sausages. Is this a bad thing?

@rosiecarnall @BrutalistArch @urban_splash @ParkHillRA Bound to happen at least once!!

And finally, more than 2 years after buying "offplan", picking up the keys to my brand new Phase 2 Park Hill flat. A dream come true @BrutalistArch @urban_splash @ParkHillRA

This week I started into a very different role at @SYorksHA. 63 is the perfect age for a new challenge but I'll continue to champion the sexual rights of older adults and to work with @DrSharronH whenever I can. So proud of what we achieved @AgeFriendlyShef

[Prof. Sharron Hinchliff @DrSharronH]

Two weeks ago today we launched the Sexual Rights Charter for Older Adults, as part of age-friendly Sheffield
Lots of people have signed up for more info, details here if you'd like to join them

@DeanBakopoulos No my parent's liquid consumption was entirely made up of tea and maybe a shandy on holiday or cherry brandy at Christmas. This only changed when they "discovered" cappuccinos! My Mum never understood why I wanted water with a meal and saw it as a failure of her parenting.

@rosiecarnall I suspect that by nature humans are largely competitive and the possibility of winning is what makes it "fun"... so no I don't think there can be... sorry.

@johnsweeneyroar Thank you @johnsweeneyroar you're a good man.

@stevechu75 @TheDepotBakery Have been keenly watching the progress of the renovations to this wonderful building. @TheDepotBakery is already a firm favourite of mine for coffee and brunch so this new venture feels very exciting.

[Gilli Fowler @Gilliji]

Very moving. People like @johnsweeneyroar are essential to expose the brutal reality of what happens in a war. They take enormous risk so you and I don't ignore the suffering.

@johnsweeneyroar Thank you @johnsweeneyroar for being where I can't be, to witness the terrible events in the Ukraine and to tell the truth of what is happening so that it doesn't remain in the dark. Thank you.

[Gilli Fowler @Gilliji]
