    A bracing walk in Wales to start the day before I host a session for #AWSCultureathon 2021 – #AWSCultureChamp and #AWSStartUps jointly present the first-ever global marathon event. Learn more:

    We were very excited to get to see Emily and Clare’s beautiful new house in Swansea! (And to catch up with Em & C, of course!) 😍

    “This place has 700+ gins,” Emily Dibber said, “but they do this ridiculous pink one with candy floss.” Well, I had to go there, didn’t I? (You should’ve seen my face when the bartender pulled out a wodge of cotton candy the size of my head and then proceeded to stud it with edible flowers AND A CHUPA CHUP.) 😂🍭🥃

    Paid a visit to our friend Paddington at the Station before boarding the GWR train to Swansea. (I think I’ve ridden more trains in the past year than I have in all the previous years of my life combined!) https://t.co/ASs9qpSQza

    Current mood: knitting, tea, and bickies in front of the fake fire on a grey and drizzly day in Swansea! 🔥🫖🧶🌧 https://t.co/ZvaZbrHgA7

    @msharp So far Wales looks exactly like I expect Wales to look!

    @msharp Wales feels safer than England. Very few people wearing masks there, despite signs and announcements saying to.

    Thanks for the smile, Lewis! ❤️ @TfL https://t.co/NhdgR4wvOV

    A walk through Kensington Gardens. Near as we can tell, that spot by the Serpentine was our first date, 21.5 years ago. (A picnic, no less!) ❤️ https://t.co/R41OMImzP2

    Good grief. We are meant to do a Covid test on Day 2 after arriving in the UK. Booked an @ExpressTestUK test and picked up in Heathrow, but the app is unusable. Called support and were directed to upload photos of test and passport to a random web form. Ridiculous.

    He went to a hipster barber for a haircut and beard trim. 😍

    Today started with lunch with @ihuerga and @chocolate0703, then a walk past St. Paul’s and over Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern for ART. Sadly, no bookings available for tea at the Ritz… 😭

    I spent a semester in university abroad in London, and one of my classes was British History. For one of our lectures, our professor just had us watch this episode. Many of us had never seen Blackadder. I remember being pretty stunned at the ending… #RemembranceDay https://t.co/c8FkSQxMWg
