The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 20th June 2021

 Have you had a good week? It's been a bit up and down for me, been enjoying Euro 2020 apart from Englands performance against Scotland. I'm off to Ronnie Scotts for my first dose of live music since Lockdown at lunchtime, preceded by a swift lager and a custard tart in Bar Italia. Well that's my week, here's what our lovely local Tweeters have been up to.

1. This tweet brought me unbridled happiness. They look delciious

2. I remember the Bald Faced Stagg well from the 1980's when my band had a residency there. It was actually a really good laugh!

Does anyone recall it looking like this?

3. Loved standing on the terraces here. My dad's business was a sponsor in the 1960's and a couple of players worked for him at Mac Metals in Mill Hill

5. In memory of Horace

I live in East Finchley. Took this photo outside North Finchley Sainsburys last month.

6. We love a good proverb here. This is a pretty good one from Finchley tutors

Idioms and proverbs often come up in the 11+ comprehension exams, so it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with as many as possible.

Keep noting these down in your journal so you’re familiar with them before the upcoming 11+ exams.#education #proverb #vocabulary pic.twitter.com/rVn8cQzrNW
