The Tweets of The Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 15/12/2019

So that's it for General Elections for another five years. Lets hope that people's twitter feeds soon return to normal. I have a strong dislike of pictures of people holing up leaflets, so I've given them a very wide berth. To get in this list, you have to have a great picture and something worthwhile to say. So here is this weeks selection.


1. I hope you'll forgive us the self indulgence, but we held a little awards ceremony and it was very well received. The Mill Hill and Colindale Litter pickers won our community activity award and appreciated the recognition. Nice pics

Thanks @Barneteye for recognising and supporting litter pickers across Barnet

3. Yesterday our local football team Hadley FC beat the league leaders and are in a very strong position for the second half of the season. Like Lou Kennedy we are starting to get excited. Hadley got an official crowd of 197 yesterday, which is amazing for the Essex Senior League

Still on a high after @hadleyfc massive win yesterday. Finish the year in 4th place, 8 points behind league leaders with 3 games in hand. Gonna be a battle for the title in the new year ⚽️⚽️❤❤ you got this guys 😁😁 pic.twitter.com/VE2RU1VqNN

5. Great picture of Hendon from the Mill Hill Historcial Society

A very pleasant rustic watercolour of Hendon in 1802 by an unknown artist with St Mary's Church visible in the background.

10. So who would be your perfect Xmas guest? Mill Hill Music Complex chose Jimi Hendrix

Great shout out. 1. Would have to be Jimi Hendrix, can you imagine jamming Jingle bells with him over a mulled wine! 2. And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without The Pogues. As they don't play anymore, it's the @PogueTraders at @DublinCastle next sat
