The Tweets of The Year in the London Borough of Barnet 2017

As regular readers will know, we have a regular feature called "The Tweets of the week". Well the time has come for the very best of the best. So here is my top ten tweets from all of you Barnet Tweeters. I had to think about the format. I decided that we'd pick one a month.  Enjoy

January.

We start with one from a TOTW regular Mark Amies and his tweet to get the Railway Hotel proper protection.



February

As you know, we love a historical week. Here is a cracker from Tim Dunn




March

We rather liked this one from The Barnet Police. Not sure you'd see this from too many other London Borough Police forces.




April

Many of us have been affected by The Northern Line works. Here is what they were doing

Track renewal works at Burnt Oak - Collindale, this work will help to create a smoother ride and reduce maintenance 

May

In May, we had the North Finchley Finchley Festival. John Keough was rather taken with The False Dots!




June

And in June we had the Mill Hill Music Festival and street Markets, which were rather a lot of fun!



July

July saw Burnt Oak in the crosshairs of one of our fellow London bloggers, the incomparable Diamond Blogger.




August

I loved this Tweet of Hendon FC in Italy in 1972. Some pictures just make you smile.

September
This simply had to be the tweet for September.

Perfect. Just perfect. So so poignant. And the cloud stayed away for us too! ðŸ›©️ pic.twitter.com/IsFKdGPpwq


October

Probably my favourite local picture of the year. Simply stunning shot of The Bald Faced Stag in Finchley






.November

Some disturbing news from Mill Hill emerged in November

Do you want our park to look like this or this
December

I thought long and hard about this choice. Mark Amies has been nothing if not dogged in his efforts to ensure The Railway Hotel in Edgware is properly restored and looked after. So we end the year pretty much where we started. As long as Mark and all of the other great people in Barnet that we support carry on, we'll be here by your side, doing our bit!





So that's it. Of course there are hundreds of tweets I could have picked. Narrowing it down to one a month was pretty hard work actually. You can see the whole lot again by clicking here.
