The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 24th July 2022

 Hottest day ever rounded off with a biblical downpour, a massive music festival and the end of the school year. It's been a strange week. 

Highlights of my week was watching Hadley V Wingate & Finchley, the two best teams in the Borough of Barnet in a pre season friendly. Here is the pick of the goals.

How was your week? Here is my roundup of what the local Twitteratti have been up to

1. I'm going to start in Burnt Oak, with this amazing and evocative picture. For us old timers, the 140 and 52 bus were travel icons. I used to get the 52 to school at Orange Hill when it was raining. My mum took us to Heathrow on the 140 many times to watch the aeroplanes. Does anyone do that anymore. And in the background the original Tonibell Cafe, where the ice cream legend started

A kind follower has let me know about this 1975 photograph by Jim Blake, (the prolific bus history author). The Toni 'Cream Ices' shop shown on Silkstream Parade, opposite Burnt Oak Station. Where the Tonibell empire started! https://t.co/uotcSlAflF pic.twitter.com/BM5Ri1K6Yi

3. The Road that time forgot in Mill Hill

There is a large area accessed by the offside, construction depot maybe? And at the gates looking on to the A1. pic.twitter.com/qEHKBNcKfv

4. Worth a look

Decided to launch this on today of all days.

Here's @CoolOakGroup’s plan for future habitats and eco-change at Brent Reservoir.

Saving wetlands is not just about wildlife and plants. It is about climate resilience and people.

5. It's that time of year when Donald starts waving his marrow around

Lovely at allotment during the week & not after a hard slog at work! Did some weeding, righting (as in straightening my bean poles) & some arithmetic in counting my courgettes & plums..!
Picked my first runner beans, tomatoes & French beans of the season!#hottestdayoftheyear pic.twitter.com/pyUM9nTqwa

6. This is a lovely tweet

"Bolan and Mooney are heading the show" - Marc Bolan and Keith Moon deep in conversation sometime in 1975 .
Their memorial plaques are next to each other at Golders Green crematorium. ❤❤ #MarcBolan #TRex #KeithMoon pic.twitter.com/9NuAcaeb0s

7. Whilst in Golders Green Cemetery

Frank Pick, who once said ‘art must come down from her pedestal - and work for a living’! In the Chapel of Memory at Golders Green: he’s best known for ‘good design for London transport’ and received this memorial at #PiccadillyCircus on the 75th anniversary of his death. 🚆 ⚱️ https://t.co/O3IdCnj4wT pic.twitter.com/23NBcfwazW
