Definitely best escooter docking solution I’ve seen in a while #Newcastle

Fletcher just quietly telling the truth about what’s going on with roadworks.

Funny the way that these retired men all come out of the woodwork to chuck rocks when a woman makes it to the top of the civil service. Shocked I am, shocked. I hear she’s excellent BTW.

Loving the the news today, Happy Birthday 🎉🫆🫆🫆🫆🫆

My obsessive approach to perfect winter paths is let loose in Council this week, described as “Magnificent” by an opponent from across the room which is the best of all complements 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Brings back some great memories winter in NYC, the bin wagon snow ploughs storming up the avenues

No drama, no chasing headlines, and not forgetting that this is a place where the community wants children to be looked after as well as the concerns of adults.

There’s been a lot of talk the last few days, together with some sloppy journalism, about “Parking in Tynemouth”

Shovelling snow is superb exercise 😂

All done on foot this morning using my new giant Chinese steel snow shovel & stash of grit. Managed to get out b4 anyone had walked or ridden on footway or bikeway so very easy just human plough, shoving it out the way

Enjoy the snow, #tynemouth. Some info below on council gritting & also what you can do yourself. It will freeze overnight, we hold a very small stock of grit ourselves locally so if in the morning you spot somewhere especially hazardous ❄️🧊⚠️ please message us & will see if we can help.

Christmas has officially started, baking on one side of kitchen, home brewed stout on the other
