Thank you for the memory, Dave.. an inspiration to many more I'm sure! I remember the incredible red and orange skies over Hanley Deep Pit that my Granny Pearsall pointed at excitedly. The Etruscans had a name for it, and a rhyme... I recently found it on this scrap of paper ..

The Return of Spike! Along the route on the walk home from the bus there is a section covered by the canopy of tree convergence, and so, the year has come around to it raining spiky food! I'll get the fire going ..

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

Surely the most glorious building in Stoke-On-Trent, and I could say beyond, for some distance? The design; the story of the city through symbolism and the technical skills to achieve it put this city on the World map! If the city can't find a use for it what does that say? An absolute tragedy.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

We’ve been staying in the shadow of Clearwell Castle where among other things Black Sabbath came up with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath when they weren’t busy getting spooked out by ghostly apparitions or falling asleep and nearly burning the place down🤘🏽

I’m delighted at this! I met James at my exhibition and had a great conversation; he was the photography lecturer at Newcastle-under-Lyme Art College before I attended. Interfering busybody that I am, I sent his website to Craig at Café Royal Books and .. www.caferoyalbooks.com/shop/p/james...

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

These are so, so good.
