It’s a privilege to write this Christmas message for #BrentfordFC fans, recalling contrasting visits to Wembley. Hopefully it’ll resonate with all football supporters. www.beesunited.org.uk/news/rejoici... @thechurchmouse.bsky.social @beesunited.bsky.social @griffinpark.org @philtherev.bsky.social

Something is seriously amiss with my @rbgkew.bsky.social Advent Calendar. On Sunday, it said it was Christmas Eve. Today, that Christmas is five days away. Kew a response?
