@KuperSimon Hi Simon, may I put in a word for @AnnieChave ‘s excellent ‘Cricket Changed My Life’- Eleven Personal Journeys. 🙏🏻

We don’t want another S9- something in micro 4/3 🙏🏻

@LUMIX_Japan there’s still a strong following that wants a Lumix LX101 or LX100 mkiii. Look at the reaction to the OM System Pen. Make it happen 🙏🏻 @LumixUK

One of the finest Great War poems - and there are many.

[The Ways of A Gentleman @Gentleman_Ways]

The Soldier
by Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
      That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
      In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
      Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
      Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
      A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
            Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
      And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
            In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

@VinnieSull1van @PubHistoryTours @Lost___London It was home to the very fine Bibendum Restaurant, which is not what it was- sort of fine but somehow affordable fare & relaxed dining with a beautiful oyster bar downstairs . Hamlyn Books and eventually Reed Books occupied the rear offices. It was a jewel in Conran’s empire.

Playing around with a Nikon D7100. I have returned to these old DSLR cameras. The battery life is extraordinary and the grips are excellent.

@LanceForman @GBNEWS @CamillaTominey The Labour view: employers are all fat cats living off the proletariat. You can see that it’s not such a leap to old anti Semitic tropes with this line of vapidity. Typical. @UKLabour

@AnnieChave @Patrick_Skene Wow. What a piece by Patrick. And what an inspiration you are. This makes me want to drop everything and somehow help. We will support your book. ❤️🏏
