What shocking news about Russell Norman. He’s my guest on this week’s Cooking the Books recorded just 2 weeks ago. I’m so glad I asked him the question about drama. You can hear his smile. RIP lovely man. Listen; https://t.co/01LbW5tagh

Quick #gardening question: can anyone identify this beautiful shrub? Saw it in Kensington Gardens and would love to know for future reference. Many thanks

If you want a good chuckle this Friday morning, read this brilliant article from @spectator: French food is the most disappointing in the world

The developers slapped beige paint on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to cover up the graffiti and obliterated the 19th century woodgraining. It is painful to witness this decay, when @thelondonbellf are offering to buy it to cast bells again and cherish the historic buildings.

Summer lies ahead! Visit @TCMargate (for free) and see Beatriz Milhazers inspiring exhibition, before wandering around Margate like many people before you (see 4th photo). So many wonderful things to do in life.

What a lovely way to start the day! Perfect for twitterites!

For any other food-loving Japanophiles - in case you too are heading for Tokyo. Brilliant advice from @tokyofoodfile

But if you feel like curling up at home on a rainy March/April night, tune into YouTube and watch @JoolzGuides fantastic documentary "Take me To Pitcairn". It will transport you into another wild & wonderful world, while making you feel extremely happy to be on your sofa at home.

There are some wonderful things to see in #London at the moment, including Magdalena Abakanowicz's superb exhibition of woven tapestries and sculptural pieces @Tate - Modern.

Dear Twitter friends, I'm in need of your expertise. I'm planning a trip to Amsterdam in the spring and would love to eat at a good Indonesian restaurant. Have you any recommendations? Looking for authenticity. All thoughts welcome! Many thanks in advance.

An inspiring article for Saturday morning. So much we can do to improve urban life. Scientist enlists pupils to see how hedges can make greener schools

So many inspiring things to do in #London during the holidays from visiting Hallyu The Korean Wave, a dynamic exhibition @V_and_A to beautiful winter walks around Regent's Park @theroyalparks

If you're searching for something free and inspiring to do, drop into All Saints Church in Tudeley, Kent to see its beautiful #Chagall stained glass windows. It's a magical place even on a rainy day.

Quick question to fellow tweeters - how do you save/archive your twitter account? @lickedspoon @XantheClay @jennylinford @catlilycooks do you know? All advice gratefully received.

Dear Twitter friends, as my good deed for the day,I've signed this. If you feel the same way about protecting and fostering our natural world, so please sign and retweet. Many thanks.

Quite right! Thanks for this. What a great way to learn the alphabet, makes me long for an apple pie, although the net result might be that tiny tots are encouraged to chase after any apple pie they see.
