SEE YOU IN BOSTON! 🏴@ScotlandNT
It’s the Consulate’s 235th birthday today🎉🎉🎉🎉
Here are the two questions I’m most often asked by guests at the residence and the story of why George Washington deserves some of the credit for the establishment of the Consulate.

Blazing sunshine, a 13-9 win and an electric atmosphere at Fenway. I was hooked. Managed about five more games at Fenway over the season. I learnt the words to Take Me Out to the Ballgame, started listening to @SoxBooth and realised that Red Sox twitter was the best twitter. 2/5

I learnt about the Wally head, the War Pig, Pesky's Pole, Roman Anthony's side strain and the Cuban Missile. I know why there's a red seat in section 42, that Jhostynxon Garcia has the best nickname in sports, that @Hogdale_ is a Boston legend, and who said da jankees lose. 3/5

On Battle of Britain Day, we remember the airmen who fought to turn the tide in WWII. Along with the British and Canadian air forces, ten Americans answered the call. Lest we forget.
