@LNER hello, by any chance do you have an updated arrival time for the 17:10 DON to EDB service? We have a new puppy I’m desperate to meet!

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

@NicAubury @bedsqpublishers All good here thanks! You’ll be impressed as I’m now teaching Latin as an academic extracurricular

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

@NicAubury @bedsqpublishers Looks amazing - I’ll be ordering!

@jeremycorbyn thank you so much for speaking to the visiting pupils from Barnsley Academy yesterday in Parliament - for many of them it was their first time in London and their first experience of how Parliament works so thank you for making time for them!

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

@EastMidRailway big props to the crew (especially Keely) on board the 16:02 St Pancras to Sheffield service - doing their absolute best to make sure passengers are comfortable despite overcrowding and cheering us all up!

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

@TTRadioOfficial MFL - that you have to be a native speaker to be a languages teacher! I was about 4 months in when a kid asked ‘Miss, why do you have a Scottish accent if you’re French’ 😂

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

@sammilighthead Congratulations to him, that’s a fantastic achievement!

[Eilidh Smith (she / her) @mflyorkshire]

Any thoughts on the Edexcel Spanish writing today?
