Here are my top five.
1. http://www.alexworld.co.uk/ - Non League Football blog
This is an excellent piece of work. Local English teacher Alex Sarychkin's project to visit all of the non league football teams based in and with links to The London Borough of Barnet. If you love the culture of football, it is a must. for full disclosure, he's my nephew, and a very fine one at that! Well worth a look.
Here's a little outline of the project, and some of the thinking behind it:https://t.co/kQwhH7Fs8P— Alex (@inalexworld) January 20, 2019

What Alex is doing for Non League footie in Barnet, Samuel Levy is doing for birdwatching. Samuel has a special interest in The Totteridge Valley. I have often seen him as we walk our mutts over the fields, although I've yet to say hello. I love his pictures cataloging the wildlife on our doorstep and his work has certainly sparked an interest in our local wildlife. Samuel travels far and wide, but his pictures of Totteridge Valley, which is his spiritual birding home are fab. For the record, he's not my nephew ;) His Twitter is https://twitter.com/FinchleyBirder
New blog post up about the first 12 days of the month! Featuring visits to RSPB Rainham Marshes, RSPB Arne, Totteridge Valley and Poole and Baiter Parks. Enjoy. https://t.co/0nfT0A1XQk #londonbirds #dorsetbirds pic.twitter.com/aryUp8qlC5— Samuel Levy (@FinchleyBirder) January 13, 2019
3. http://www.longlanepasture.org/newsletters.html
Strictly speaking, this isn't a blog, it is the archive of newsletters from Long Lane Pasture, but it should be. Long Lane Pasture is one of our local gems. It is described as a 2 acre remnant of Finchley Common, now restored meadowland saved from housing & looked after by volunteers. It's a haven for wildlife.

11 flutterby species seen at the Pasture last Saturday! Including this small tortoiseshell, cleverly disguised as a cat! @savebutterflies @iGiGL @LondonNPC @WildlifeTrusts @WildLondon @Kerry_butterfly @FinchleyHort @stephenshouse @FinchleyGreat @revel @LondonSnowWatch @Apithanny pic.twitter.com/u5J8uwitbd— Long Lane Pasture (@LLPasture) June 25, 2018
4. https://pastrewind.wordpress.com/
Strictly speaking, this is not a Barnet blog, as it ranges far wider. It is the work of good friend of this blog Mark Amies, but much of what he covers is in the Borough or nearby, with recent features on Cricklewood and The Railway Hotel in Edgware. Mark is currently doing a weekly slot on a Tuesday on The Robert Elms show, covering industrial heritage. The twitter feed for Marks nostalgia blog is https://twitter.com/MuseumOfThePast
Nice spot this morning, in Edgware- a Singer Vogue. pic.twitter.com/RcXTU3ujUY— General Nostalgia (@MuseumOfThePast) January 15, 2019

I couldn't really finish this round up without a nod to this very special blog. What better way to see in the new year than on a pub crawel around Burnt Oak! There are other pub crawls in the Borough listed. Sadly they went on holiday in 2017 and have yet to resume their crawl. I loved this blog, as someone always on the lookout for a new pub to visit

Way back in August we took a final pre-hiatus crawl round #Colindale. Have a read below. Andy is now in Sydney for work and the ULPC will take a short break whilst he's away. Thanks so much for reading thus far. We will be back!https://t.co/aWgK2b96j5 pic.twitter.com/C5sCZwBYTg— UltimateLDN PubCrawl (@UltimateLondon) November 26, 2017
Have a great weekend!
