Off to volunteer in the tearoom at Darfield Museum later. I’ll be installing our panel of the UK AIDS quilt too. So proud to have it at the home of Maurice and Fred! See you all there; we’re open from 10.00-14.00.

The poemwriting is not goingwell today.

And the Maurice Dobson museum is great too, as much a community hub as a museum.

@ianmcmillan.bsky.social do you have a Spanish twin? We've just seen your doppelganger in Menorca.

Looking forward to this at Sheffield Lyceum....

Come and join us at Darfield Museum!

I found myself on a run of Barnsley authors. I've just finished one of my favourites, @joannechocolat.bsky.social and now onto Barry Hines putting right my lack of Kes knowledge. That will be followed by Andrew McMillan and 'Pity'. What a talented town we have!

Looking forward to Bizet's Carmen tonight at Sheffield City Hall, on Ellen Kent's Farewell Tour. We have seen her performances several times and it is sad to see the end to such an institution.

The unspoken words Wait inside the silenced mouths For their chance to fly
