The Tweets of The Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 22/07/18

Hi Y'all. I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. What an odd year it has been? It is strange to think that back in March we were shivering under the chill of the beast from the east! I was looking back at some of my favourite tweets of the year and it seems bizarre that this was a mere four months ago! Do you remember that feeling that summer would never come!

Brrrrr..... It sure was nippy in Mill Hill park today! pic.twitter.com/Ivsy6pKKu7

Anyway, this is the tweets of the week, not the tweets from four months ago, so I hope you'll forgive that little diversion! It's full on Summer madness here! Don't forget to follow any of these marvellous tweeters who tickle your fancy.

1. One of the less appreciated traditions in Mill Hill is the spectacle of Mill Hill County High School leavers trashing the park and causing mayhem. With the snow gone, Arrendene has become bone dry. What sort of an idiot would do this? It could have set the whole place on fire. I really hope that the parents of these kids read them the riot act

Why would kids set fire to their schools books, bloody dangerous in bone dry woods #dangerous #fire #Arrandene #keepmillhilltidy @RubyRose @ColindaleLitter @ABetterMillHill @Barneteye @mhlitterpickers @MillHillBwy @BarnetCouncil@metpoliceuk @BarnetParks @Saracens @FiveFocus pic.twitter.com/7HDsQcVjUC

2. Another sorry sign of summer in Mill Hill. Angel pond dried out and looking terrible

3. We were told that the summer would see an end to Potholes in the Borough. Sadly not

@KC_Journo One of several horrors I saw as I cycled from Burnt Oak to Colindale today. Any cyclist hitting this at speed would end up in A&E or the morgue. Shame on you @BarnetCouncil pic.twitter.com/ch2J8RybRq

4. On a happier note, canine frolics in Chandos Park. We love a good dog show!

5. Looking for something to do with the kids tomorrow. This looks absolutely brilliant. I quite fancy going myself!

6. Finchley filmmakers are predicting a chilly September!

While it's nice you can sit outside late into the day and enjoy the weather. When the weather is slightly less lovely in September sit inside and enjoy some #filmaking talks/practical.

7. Some good friends of ours getting some well deserved recognition in the Barnet First magazine

Lovely to see @UdensonCaldbeck featured in Barnet First magazine. Osita is a magician in Cricklewood, pulling out all the stops at festival time and everything just comes together.

Osita, and the rest of the Cricklewood Town Team, are an absolute joy to work with. pic.twitter.com/GCDxdrLClb

10. Amazing young people all over the UK are participating in the National Citizenship Scheme (NCS). A very lucky group in Mill Hill got a studio tour at Londons Leading Independent studios. We hear to many negatives about young people. It was a pleasure for me to meet them, do a Q&A and advise them on their Dragons Den pitch!

Mill Hill Music Complex is supporting the Challenge. We will be welcoming two teams on Wednesday for the legendary studio tour and a Q&A with our founder Rog. https://t.co/G9KS4Ljnpy
