The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet 19.07.2020

So it's Sunday, Lockdown is slowly lifting, but sadly most of the Summer fun we'd normally be cataloguing here is still missing. How much has changed in a year? Checkout the corresponding Tweets of the week from 2019. That doesn't mean that there hasn't been some great stuff Tweeted, in fact as we are not promoting events, there is a bit more focus on interesting historical, nature and other local info tweets.  It has actually been a pretty good week for interesting tweets.

1. This series of tweets generated a lot of interest and engagement. Interesting to see how Hendon has changed.

2. You had one job. You really would think the Council would employ people who knew how to spell!

3. This is perhaps the best local feelgood tweet of the week. This brought a big smile to my face

Residents from Sydmar Lodge Care Home in Edgware, England recreated iconic album covers with some of the extra time they now have from their months-long lockdown, showing us that #beauty, #creativity, and #fun do not age—even in a #pandemic. Creds: @robertspeker pic.twitter.com/OhciEQwk7T

5. Who would have guessed? Those of you familiar with GAA will know this was a BIG DEAL! Sadly Claremont Road, one of our finest non league grounds is no more, just another anonymous development

6. Nice pic! Bit of Finchley history

In the 19th century it was called the ‘Workmen’s Hall’, and you can see it in the picture below. (The old lady in the painting is now the no. 125 bus stop!) #HistoryFriday pic.twitter.com/d8bqf1kOLO

8. If you like snakes this is impressive, if you don't this is rather scary!

No I'm not a snakeologist and this is not a prank in the Sweeney Cup but WHAT IS THAT? Alan Graham saw it 30mins ago and he is still running! pic.twitter.com/X4dHiI6uyB
