@eamonncanniffe Amazing job opportunity - I am doing some research into Gordon Cullen and Townscape at the mo. Trying to relate to my personal drawing practice. Be great to talk sometime. Coffee...?

Poppy was always camera shy, but she liked to sun bathe on our balcony. She died from the effects of a brain tumour 12 hours after this photo. Unforeseen & devastating for me & @simoneridyard My lovely girls.

Chapel Street & Blackfriars. The borderlands have seen some changes, since the ornate police station last saw service. An exhilarating transformation over the past decade, due in no small part, to @OMIArchitects

[The Mill @ManchesterMill]

'Hulme Library was the first new building I got to know. It was 1966 and the pace of the century was picking up. And this was Hulme, and we were humans, young and keen to cop off.'

Ladies and gentlemen: @PhilGriffinMcr has made his debut for The Mill...

@CarolynWillitts @ThirlwallAssoc @velosam @cultpens No...an old book! This was the one that started it all off. And if we get to meet post-lockdown I can present you with a complimentary copy as I have a few spare...there's a plan! 🙂

[Simone Ridyard @simoneridyard]

@CarolynWillitts @ThirlwallAssoc @velosam @cultpens I've only just seen this @CarolynWillitts as I'm rarely on twitter. Thank you so much! Sadly Archisketcher seems to be out of print. The Art of Urban Sketching was the first book about urban sketching and is still the best.

@circlesquaremcr @corridormcr thanks so much!

#asktwitter family member has worked FT for 26 years then (not her choice) 0.5 for 3 months, then furlough, now 1 day a week. Think redundancy likely - but what will pay-out be based on - will FT length of service be acknowledged? May need legal help - advice appreciated thanks!

[Simone Ridyard @simoneridyard]

@Debenhams - is there no way to contact you? I've emailed and sent DM. Awaiting next day delivery due yesterday but no communication at all. Surely there is a contact number I can call - or please answer my DM / email.

[Simone Ridyard @simoneridyard]

Here's a link to my online drawing class where I will teach the basics of on-location drawing. I need as many people as possible to sign up (obligation-free) to make the course happen - please help spread the word! https://t.co/pASzRczCME

@soo_wilkinson Thanks so much Soo, will give it a go. Hopefully the change in weather may help. On a jollier note, it'd be great to get you to talk to our students sometime, would you be interested?

[Simone Ridyard @simoneridyard]

I've had more spiders in my house in the last week, than in a year. Is it WFH (do I not normally see them?), or the lack of rain...or my overgrown garden. As a self-confessed arachnophobic, I'm a nervous wreck! Any thoughts?

BIG NEWS: Today I'm celebrating 30 years as a Manchester photographer. Phew, that went quick. Now I'm making a retrospective book and next week I'll launch my crowdfunding campaign. I hope you can help. https://t.co/ujeIQtEBpf

@skylinermcr Astonishing...@PhilGriffinMcr mentioned it earlier and it’s bought me back to Twitter. Love it!
