Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 25/04/2026On Thursday, the @thornbridge.bsky.social Board visited our new Thornbridge & Co pub in London for the first time. The Wild Swan is on Fetter Lane in Holborn and she's a beauty 😍 020

Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Fantastic meal at Tom Lawson at The Psalter in Sheffield last night. We couldn't get booked in on a Thursday when they were offering 50% off their tasting menu price, so they honoured it for us on a Friday 🙏 021
Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 08/02/2026We went to the absolutely stunning Atlas Bar in Singapore last night. More than 1,000 different gins on the menu, some dating back over 100 years, and also a particular beer I know quite well; @thornbridge.bsky.social Jaipur. 130

Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 29/10/2025There is this one road, hidden away between Grindleford and Hathersage in the #PeakDistrict, that I have to visit at least once each autumn, to see the colours. It was looking beautiful at lunchtime today 🍂 (Photos need a click to expand) 0150

Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 12/10/2025The camera does lie. There were at least another 100 people at the summit of Helvellyn when we reached it on today's hike. In such amazing weather, who can blame any of us. It doesn't get much better (or warmer) than this, even in the summer! 0110

Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 24/05/2025My daughter's been working really hard for many weeks now, revising for her GCSEs. I feel bad that I'm taking her to Old Trafford tomorrow on an afternoon off from studying. I fully appreciate that it's not great parenting, but it will make revision feel more enjoyable. 150

Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Man Utd v Aston Villa on Sunday is, I can only imagine, going to be like attending the funeral of somebody you didn't really like. Can't wait 😫 #MUFC 100
Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 21/05/2025"They never turned up," say the TNT Football commentary team about #MUFC. I'll admit that we weren't good enough, but as smash and grabs go, well played, Spurs 👏 000
Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 21/05/2025The nerves I'm feeling today are reminiscent of the Champions League final v Chelsea in 2008. The difference that day was that we were the two best teams in Europe, which is definitely not the case tonight! #UELfinal #MUFC 020
Simon Walkden @mazymixer.bsky.social · 20/05/2025This is why people mustn't have BBQs, light fires, or smoke in the countryside, especially after such a long period of dry weather. Look at the devastation caused by a fire last Friday afternoon on Froggatt Edge in the #PeakDistrict. 182
