I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their: • Biggest Regrets • Biggest Lessons • Advice to their younger self Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same… Here are my top 8:

I worked with Tony regularly during my years at @whtimes. There were few more knowledgeable about the history of the region & more dedicated to their passion. He was an excellent contact due to this. Also, his tours of Welwyn village are legendary. He'll be sorely missed. RIP

Tributes have been paid to archaeologist Tony Rook, who saved Welwyn's Roman Baths from destruction, who has passed away at the age of 91. whtimes.co.uk/news/23863308.… 👇 Full story



Not sure if I'm super sad or not, but I love #FakeorFortune on the beeb! Brings together history, incredible art and real data-based journalism, the latter I guess is a huge draw for me. @philipmould and Fiona Bruce (who I once interviewed) are aways excellent!

It was a real pleasure to work on this new study!

I’ve thought about this overnight and it’s clear that a lot of people are finding it very difficult to watch Matt Hancock on #ImACeleb If he really wants to show viewers the human side of politicians, maybe he could leave the show & donate his £400,000 to the NHS.


This study throws up weird and wonderful issues like how at a young age we learn when to lie or to tell the truth... And, then, how as parents, how we 'teach' our children these unwritten rules. It's a complicated social skill that I'd never really questioned before🤔 Read👇
