My hometown is where the dam (almost) collapsed, and Boris Johnson was flown to the scene by Chinook. 6 years later and it’s in final repairs

As someone who works in pharmaceuticals and studies history of science, I could write a series on the new Eli Lilly advert ‘Obesity is a disease’ Now a product is available, the narrative around obesity has entirely shifted, to the much more biological ‘it’s not your fault’ ‘it’s a disease’ trope

Scooby walks and rhododendrons

The full quilt is also on display at Wakefield exchange this weekend only - might have to go and visit

Go on #Grimsby 👏🏼
