Have you seen the Alluvia statue in the River Stour in Canterbury? Created by international artist Jason deCaires Taylor, Alluvia will be formally presented to the public and handed over to Canterbury City Council at 6.30 pm on Sunday 22 September.
The Canterbury Commemoration Society is hoping to hold public readings of the plays of HUGH WALPOLE. Can anyone suggest where we can get hold of the scripts? [email protected] Thank you. @CanterburyCCUni @CantCommSoc @KentMaps1
Charlie Ross would like to thank most warmly all who have bought a copy of his autobiography Sold! and said such kind things about it. (On Amazon if you haven't got one yet.)
Started series 3 of once excellent #SlowHorses - won't go on. Tedious Bond-esque chases, Americanized script, sanitized London. Fine actors wasted. All downhill after excellent first series. Sticking to the vg books from now on.

📢ANNOUNCING... the most disgusting and littered road in Britain - the A12. The responsibility of @Brentwood_BC to ensure it's kept clean! Another failing Council, breaking the law. It's in your constituency @pritipatel - help do something about this national shame. @BBCLookEast @essexlive

The Harris campaign just released this statement ahead of Trump’s press conference today. They’re so good at this.
Once upon a time there were two brothers ... the genesis of Sold! - the fascinating autobiography of Charlie Ross (#Amazon & bleanbooks.co.uk) - started long, long ago. @BBCBargainHunt @CTrevanion @jameswbraxton @PhilipSerrell

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
