What a delightful surprise! Best architectural tourism in ages as I discover a #FrankLloydWright gem on a stopover in Springfield, Illinois. The Dana Thomas house is worth going out of your way for. My report here: bit.ly/3f8cAhe @cityofspfld @theFLWblog
My reflections on the loss of our beloved queen, and why her American-born subjects find the institution of #monarchy quite so magical. bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2…

Just back from a magnificent foodie holiday in Dublin where @theoldspotdub topped the list of dining experiences. It's the gastropub I want in my village! Full story on my blog: bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2…
Best restaurant on my recent foodie tour of #Dublin was clearly @osterialucio Thanks @ChefRossLewis can't wait to come back. To find out why, see full review on my blog #BencardsBites bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2…
You know you've made a mistake when you spend half an hour looking for contact details on a web site and can't find any. I fear I'm about to lose a lot of money with esky.co.uk Flight cancelled by airline but eSky still shows it flying and I can't find help. Avoid!
Had the most amazing time at the Chalke Valley History Fest. Already in the diary for next year. Write up on my blog: bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2… #CVHF #AmazingHistory @CVHISTORYFEST
Just the tip of the #metaverse iceberg, but a fun bit of coverage that shows the @AccentureUK offices ... both physical and virtual.
Welcome to the Metaverse.
@joe_crowley takes a look at a bit of technological magic that could transform the way we live our lives.

Why is the British #monarchy great value for money? My coverage of the #Jubilee captures the mood in the English countryside and argues that a non-political head of state is a blessing. bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2… #RoyalFamily #Royals #platiniumjubilee
I love my #Nespresso every morning but giving it up is a small sacrifice compared to what the Ukrainians are suffering. Join me in voting with your money? #shameonnestle #BoycottNestle #BoycottNestlé

Just finished @holland_tom ‘s “Dominion”. Heavy going at the start (so many psychopaths!) but delivered on its promise from the Reformation. As ever, such sparkling prose! Started for the history and found my core faith affirmed. Must make a date with my godson now.
Excited to launch the 2nd in our video series exploring how businesses #rethink post-pandemic. This time talking #innovation with @mattkingdon @andyyoungACN @OliBarrett #innovation #rethink #pandemic youtube.com/watch?v=COElufQl…

Well done @emmadentcoad for your frank discussion of #breastcancer on @VictoriaLIVE I'm a 2x survivor; awareness saves lives! Suspect your loss is the best thing for you; your health is more important than any job. Take care of yourself.
I have a favourite new #hotel in #Copenhagen though the edgy neighbourhood demands a bit of extra vigilance. @AndersenHotel delivers personal touch, colourful rooms and quirky design. bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2…
Why you should always question your sources...
The new #DonGiovanni at Longborough is a powerful example of how the classics can be updated to take on modern issues. Intriguing, thought-provoking & well acted; but I wouldn't want to sit through it twice. @lfotweet #opera #Mozart bencardsbites.blogspot.com/2…
