35 years ago today, I attempted my first Channel swim, aged 11. It came off and I became a World Record holder. This Friday, a team from Deloitte will aim to swim to France and raise money for our #5MillionFutures charity Scope. Donate here #JustGiving https://t.co/JcGkl598nq

Thanks @BBCRadio4 for another broadcast of #ABoyintheWater on Sounds today. It's a great adaptation and makes the story accessible to everyone, not just those who can buy and read books. And all in same week @leytonorientfc get promoted! Thank you 🙏https://t.co/XiJkBsE3Ue

@wi_lds @TriMikeW Cheers guys. Really glad you liked it! Let me know if I can do anything too. Tom

@AvrilKinnerk @TeamEnglishIre @Team_English1 Hi Avril. I'd be happy to help for starters. I have plenty of material and talks that I do for young people so DM me and let's see what I can rustle up. Sorry late response... I rarely look at this place! Tom

@whisperingtwist That's the sort of write up one can only dream of. Thanks you so much. I've said it before on here, but it's a total thrill when that story from '88 'finds its gang'. Also reminds me of what felt like simpler times given current events. If I can do anything please just ask. TG

[tom gregory @tomgregory11]

@sallygoble Yeah you bet. Thanks ever so much for all the kind things you said. I must say it's a real lift and just makes me gasp when I realise people actually read it / liked it! Amazing

[tom gregory @tomgregory11]

@sallygoble Ta Sally. I have a feeling you were swimming on the day they reopened the lido and did an anniversary bash a couple of years ago. D Goodhew was there. Could it have been you?

@PyrkosZone What a lovely pocket review! Cheers @PyrkosZone Shout if I can do anything at all. Tom

@Rachiebabz1 I absolutely loved it. What a group you guys are! Pretty chuffed to have bagged honorary membership if I'm honest 🤠

[tom gregory @tomgregory11]

@xandvt @TheTLS Cheers Doc @xandvt! I'll pop a copy in the post of you like....My kids are big fans of your work 🤩

[tom gregory @tomgregory11]

@Rachiebabz1 Flipped to DM.... We will find a way.

[tom gregory @tomgregory11]

@Rachiebabz1 Yep fine with that. There is not much blocking out the diary ATM so maybe just fire over a date and I'll hopefully be able to sign up.

@Kate_Kinsella Glad you liked it @Kate_Kinsella - nothing brightens my lockdown more than a nice comment like that :-) Let me know if I can do anything helpful, like trade 80s mixtape playlists.Tom

@leonmccarron Very fond of this by @barrieauthor . It's fascinating and wonderfully written. The structure helped me with 'A Boy in the Water' too.
