On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me “no baked beans on my brekkie”.

Our Chair Barbara Mills KC (BMKC) opens by thanking #BarCouncil members and notes that James Roberts KC is coming to the end of 20 years of volunteering in various roles for the family Bar.

A reminder that applications for the 2025 FLBA Scholarship close on 30 May. Full details on the link. www.flba.co.uk/flba-scholar.... @familylawbar.bsky.social

Cumberland Lodge again and back to see my favourite tree.

Too slow to prevent the disaster that is diagonal bisection of toast but a fine fry up from my beloved Galaxy Cafe. Look out for the offering at Cumberland Lodge on 10 May.

Given the marketing blurb on the back of the “bottle” I fear my order of sparkling water may cost me an arm and a leg.

I have been reminded in "another place" that I failed to post my breakfast from last Saturday here. Happy to set the record straight...https://x.com/JamesRoberts_/status/1883179819040662014/photo/1

Delighted to be able to attend Barbara Mills KC’s inaugural speech as Chair of @thebarcouncil.bsky.social

I was delighted to speak this evening on behalf of the family bar and also 1 King’s Bench Walk at the welcome to the Family Division to Mr Justice Harrison. We wish him well. JRKC

What a splendid way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Hash browns today. I know people have strong views about their inclusion in an English Breakfast. Bloomer toast saved me having to ask for horizontal bisection.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s brunch curated by @deshpalpanesarkc.bsky.social in aid of @freerepunit.bsky.social Photo by way of illustration only. The real thing tomorrow.

My first breakfast on a new platform is a homemade one. Don’t judge too harshly.

Looking forward to posting my first fry up on this platform.

Good morning from Bristol where we are being hosted by the Western Circuit at 3PB for our #BarCouncil meeting. We’ll be sharing live updates here.
