Tonight’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is going ahead, but has been reduced to 20 overs
Yeeeeeees….
The director very much not downcast
Never change, England
This is the most heroic performance I’ve ever watched #TheShowMustGoOn
The enthusiasm and commitment with which the youths & fairies of Athens have been hurling themselves onto the sodden turf would warm the heart of any rugby coach.

IN AWE!

A superb performance, cruelly sawn off by the rain.

#RainStopsShakespeare.
Such a witty, wonderfully acted, spirited, creative, charismatic, warm-hearted production. If you can possibly get to see it when it’s not bucketing down, DO!

So proud of my girl…

We start our tour of #MiddleEngland in Oxford, where tonight in the garden in Christ Church that helped inspire Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland my daughter’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is being staged. A sellout (so proud!), but there are tickets on the door…
Also an inspiration to Lewis Carroll was this holy well in Binsey, which in the Middle Ages was famed for the miraculous properties of its ‘treacle’ - its ‘healing fluid’.

Hence the Treacle Well in Alice…
The well appeared thanks to the prayers of Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford. The pagan ruler of Leicester tried to make off with her; she struck him blind; being kind, she then healed him. Still he came after her: so she fled to the remote island of ‘Betona,’ aka Binsey.

On 23 August, I will be embarking on an elite #CricketWalk in aid of my benefit: 50 miles in 24 hours, from the site of the first ever recorded cricket match to Lord's.

We have raised £50,000 so far for charity. I dream of reaching a century.

THANK YOU! givergy.uk/tomholland/?co…
If you could find it in your heart to donate, you will be helping the homeless here in the UK, & Yazidi refugees in Iraq.

All donations very, very gratefully received.

(And huge thanks to all who have already given!) #CricketWalk #THBY2021 givergy.uk/tomholland/?co…
Huge thanks also to everyone who contributed to the utterly shameless video above - and especially to everyone at Lioncat Films for their time, enthusiasm & incredible expertise.

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!

So the law - unlike the Department of Transport - is not an ass.

This is the most wonderful news!

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this case to court, and winning a verdict that was richly, richly merited. #StonehengeTunnel
Mr Justice Holgate "agreed that, in breach of rules in the National Policy Statement for National Networks (NPSNN) and the Planning Act (PA 2008), the Transport Secretary had not properly assessed the risk of harm to each heritage asset within the World Heritage Site."
"The judge found that he did not have the evidence to conclude that the project would cause “less than substantial harm” to the heritage assets within the WHS, which he deemed fatal to the lawfulness of the decision to grant development consent."

Walking across London, playing the music from 28 Days Later, & you know, it’s just not the same…
Was it really only a year ago?
The blood is returning to the limbs of this great, inexhaustible, beloved city #London

My all-time favourite Olympian: Margaret Abbott, an American studying with Degas & Rodin in Paris who entered a golf tournament in 1900 without realising it was part of the Olympics. She became America's 1st female gold medallist; but died (in 1955) without ever realising it.
Another Olympics hero: Félix Carvajal, a Cuban postman who - after losing all his money at dice - ran the 1904 marathon in his shirt, beret & walking shoes. A fellow competitor took scissors to his long trousers. Despite stopping mid-race to eat & chat to spectators, he came 4th.
Also competing in the 1904 marathon was Len Tau, a member of the Tsuana tribe from South Africa. He came 9th, but then had to run an additional mile to escape an angry dog. #Olympics
