We know it’s not much (there was no budget for it😉), but it’s the best we can do. It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done, we can only say to John Lewis & Sir Elton, we hope you don’t mind, we hope you don’t mind... 🎶 #TeamCambsFire

#XFactorUK This is the BEST one yet! I just LOVE the #Dalek sound effects added by ITV's "sound issues". I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the production office when it comes to voting time...

Cd this BE any funnier, my @BBCLancashire #Friends - best beer-related news I've read in ages, & thanks to @DavidSchwimmer video, with @Softcellhq playing in the background! @FriendsTV - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-la…

Pls watch little Lucy Harris, who is just wonderful - if her vote counted @bbcstrictly, we'd all be @DrRanj fans. She and her family have opened my eyes to the joy children with Downs Syndrome and autism can bring to our world.

Is that the sound of distant thunder signifying a possible end to this #heatwave... or are the good people of #Cambridge just dragging in their wheelie bins? Vote now. No, really, don't. It's ACTUALLY #RAINING A LOT!
This is from the cop, who was saved by the dog, that led to the blog, that made the book - and together they will change the law about service animals @davewardell #FabulousFinn

I used to enjoy blogging at the start of this journey. It really helped, and it’s where the book came from, but there doesn’t always seem to be enough hours in the day. Anyway, it’s been a while.....❤️🐾 finnsstoryblog.wordpress.com…
