‘It’s now or never’: Tunbridge Wells residents race to save commons from developers Campaign launched amid fears land in heart of Kent town that has been put up for sale could be turned into flats

Disgusted in Tunbridge Wells, if Common Land developed commercially?

It looks as if the status of protections for common land are to be tested in the sale of a privately owned common in Tunbridge Wells, which includes a title of Lord of the Manor & a car park alleged to have development potential.

Why are the BBC showing a video from
1980 again rather than showing the second semi-final live? #bbc #icehockey #winterolympics

Brilliant

So much drama again in the ice hockey. Really enjoying watching the Canadian all-star team. Top quality sport.

Finished Vigil by George Saunders in less than 3 days! I’m a notoriously slow reader so shows the pace of this text. #booksky

This match is superb #icehockey #CANCZE #winterolympics

Got to meet one of my writing heroes last night. Attended my first How To Academy event: George Saunders in conversation with Richard Ayoade and got a copy of George’s new book signed afterwards. #booksky

Yes, there may be a bit of mud around at the moment. Good luck with getting back out there and fit for next year’s Half!

Is that a subliminal Harriers message? 😂

Summer is just around the corner

Really enjoyed Mozart’s opera Cosi Fan Tutte performed by the Merry Opera Company. I’m not a big opera or Mozart fan but was won over by the live performance. Extra interest added by seeing our local Spoons transformed back into its former opera house setting for the show.

I’ve finished another excellent book: ‘How Migration Really Works’ by Hein de Haas #booksky #reading

Loving the ice hockey in the Winter Olympics.

‘A beaver blind date’: animals given freedom to repopulate Cornish rivers Release into Helman Tor reserve marks historical first for keystone species hunted to extinction in UK 400 years ago

Great news amidst all the gloom. There have been a lot of beaver releases but these wild releases are really significant in England – finally we are giving this life-giving animal the right to roam. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks Peter. How’s your running going? Do you plan to return to Parkrun later in the year?

😂

I look forward to seeing you out on the course 🙂

With less that two weeks to go until the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon, I think I am Half fit, rather than being half fit, for a change. Not taking anything for granted though. #twrunning

@samd23.bsky.social are you volunteering at the TW Half this year?

Glad it wasn’t just me being stupid! 😂

‘Olympic Hockey‘ is trending on BlueSky. If you click on it, none of the posts presented mention, or are about, hockey. Is BlueSky broken or just going the way of other platforms?
