Well blimey The Bull Inn in #Totnes is good isn’t it? Properly delicious, interesting food, lovely cocktails, great place. I could happily eat there all the time, especially when the carpaccio is on the menu. #devon

Please listen to #MariannaSpring. the BBC's superb new disinformation correspondent. We used to joke about #Totnes being twinned with Narnia -but now the far-right is taking over.

I just found out one of #Plymouth's best-known photographers - Alex Christaki - died this month: https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/popular-plymouth-photographer-alex-christaki-8450833

I knew him best as a musician and recorded his group The Half-Quartet during my studies about... blimey, 9 years ago now.

That was at #Dartington Hall near #Totnes, one of the more beautiful venues I've worked in. Here's the only song I uploaded: https://soundcloud.com/jordanmhicks/the-half-quartet-fur-elise

Past me says more songs were recorded, so might be time to do some digging and start working on them...

Just popping this out there...

Good to see #Totnes identified last night by @BBCNewsnight as a @LibDems target seat. Hopefully next Thursday will be a big step forward towards turn that blue into a stunning patch of yellow 🔶🔶🔶

Best quote yet from a @Conservatives election leaflet:

"Please don't punish your local Conservatives for the mistakes made in Westminster."

Seems he didn't get the memo about why you belong to a political party - others are available...

March Campaign Update - https://mailchi.mp/d0277555bb2f/marchupdate Women in politics, magic potlights, conference speeches and Lib Dem keep fit... a round up of my month as I campaign to be the first non-Tory MP elected for #Totnes in over 100 years.

What has politics ever done for women?
Why should we care?
Why does it matter?

Come and discuss with me, @francesnorthrop and others including a v important teen voice, on Saturday 11th, 2.30 at Totnes cinema. Can’t wait! (The bar will also be open).

I love #cheese. About to enjoy some mature cheddar, ripe brie, and white stilton with appricot from a small cheese shop in #Totnes, #Devon. Add some porridge loaf, chorizo and fire chutney... and boom!

Oh yes! And I will have seconds!!

Wonderful performance tonight from Rozi Plain and band in beautiful St Mary’s church #Totnes 🙏 Absolutely love #LiveMusic, there’s nothing like it, makes me so happy!

🙂The buzz about the @Right_2Roam-organised event on #Dartmoor last week is still around.

🙁Has Conservative #Totnes MP @AnthonyMangnal1 - who reportedly received money from the landowner at the centre of the controversy - spoken out about the issue? | #Devon
