This week has been dominated by Royal Ascot, Bolesworth International and Luhmuhlen. Unsurprisingly our tweets of the week reflect that, with a few of notable exceptions. Enjoy!
There is an exciting new addition to this weekly page. Our favourite tweet each week will win either an Apatchy mini tablet case or an Apatchy cosmetic bag, personalised with your own initials. For more information about the competition and to find out who this week’s winner is, go to the bottom of this page.
