Downing Tweet – Other people’s blogs / pictures (UPDATED)

Posted on December 5, 2009June 4, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Following my earlier, gush-tastic post on my evening at Downing Street, I’m collating the other coverage the event got – partially for my own purposes, but also for anyone else who was there and wants to connect to other bloggers / posters from the night. Plus, I’m going to add in some good TwitPics of the event that I’ve found…

  • Sarah Milne has posted Part 1 (of 2) of her summation of the event, on her blog “My Journey with William“. Reading Sarah’s story makes me feel guilty for having had such a relatively stress-free life thus far, and I’m proud to say I’ve met her now. Update: Part 2 is now also up.
  • Mrs Brown herself posted an excellent story on the Huffington Post – plus, as you’d expect, she’s been tweeting follow-ups all day long.
  • Tom Scholes-Fogg of Young Labour has posted a short summary of the event on his blog.
  • Sue Atkins of Positive Parents has a very nice blog about the event; Another great tweeter who I met for the first time last night.
  • Mr Richard Bacon apparently talked about his time at the event on his brand-new 6Music show today. I wasn’t able to listen as we were out, but I’m going to catch-up with it on the iPlayer tomorrow – so should you!
  • Sarah Brown has set up a new Flickr account, where she has posted a number of great shots from the event.
  • Musician Kevin Hewick has written a mammoth blog about the evening, though I resent his use of the term “Hooray Henrys” obviously! :D
  • The lovely Holly Shaw has a very nice write up of the evening on her blog “Transplants, Tantrums and Tiaras”.
  • Sandy Calico has a great run-down of the evening, with some nice photos and some funny stories.
  • Hamish Thompson has a good account of the evening, with a very good explanation of the Million Mums cause too.
  • Ben Matthews is one of the founders of Twestival, and you can read his blog here.
  • The team at MumsRock have a nice round-up of the evening, including a very funny story about label supporters…
  • The brilliantly-titled “Notes to self plus two (and the need for red shoes)” has a good post about the party.
  • The Confident Ladies have a nice blog covering their day at Downing Street too.
  • The lovely @tinypoppet has a great coup with her coverage – she’s actually been to Downing Street twice…
  • Grace Fletcher-Hackwood has covered the even on her GAFH blog.
  • Last but definitely not least, you can read the official coverage of the party from Downing Street themselves at Number10.gov.uk

Some lovely sunrises, lots of ice on the canal and a couple of rivers and lakes that were quickly merging together, at the expense of the newly-laid track. At least my wellies stayed strong!

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London. Fingers crossed that 2023 allows for a few more of them.
