Don’t miss The Longest Yarn - an 80-metre-long woollen recreation of the D-Day landings made by knitters around the world - at Stoke Minster until Dec 5th. Incredibly detailed and surprisingly moving. I was quite choked up by the final panel daily-focus.co.uk/2024/11/mode... 🙏

There’s so many glorious redundant structures in Stoke on Trent, right across the 6 towns. I just hope repurposing them to enhance their heritage is commercially feasible. Such beauty deserves care.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE HARD ❌ It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. EASY ✅ Everybody knows that single rich dudes wanna get hitched.

Had a lovely day at Chatsworth House getting in the festive spirit. Even found a selection of Emma Bridgewaters - you can take the girl out of Stoke, and all that🎄
Thanks to everyone who has already followed me on here! I don’t know yet whether I’ll end up using it or not, but in the meantime here’s a pic of my dog Bill who is very cute but very unlucky, and is going to have to have a third operation on his leg next month 😢
