ADMIN: This year is going so quickly - I'll be booking in people for 2025 before too long! 🤯
We haven't had anyone from Tameside or Wigan do a takeover yet so do get in touch if you live/work/play in those or surrounding areas.
(Would love to hear more from Oldham too.)

On the train home back to ‘Manceinion’ now. It doesn’t take a native speaker to work out what that bottom line translates to if you travel on trains often enough.

This bit of the city centre always saddens me. The neglected and rather unloved Barton Arcade just off Deansgate. In desperate need of some t.l.c. and investment, it could be beautiful but as it is looks like a set from a dystopian movie. Very sad.

On 1st April 1974, Greater Manchester was formed from parts of the historic counties of Lancashire, Cheshire & the West Riding of Yorkshire.

We are very lucky here to have so many historic and iconic buildings still around.
The Express Building on Great Ancoats ST. is probably one of my favourites - I can never resist stopping to take some pictures!
Weird to think that this and Central Library are the same age.

Someone earlier in the thread told me there is an actual Welsh word “wedi drefnu”, but it literally means organised, not sorted. So I presume it was a purposeful choice not to use that to keep the alliteration like in the English version.

Just had a call from my mum and she used this phrase-
“Ooh it’s dark over Bill’s mothers” meaning it looks like rain. Apparently this is an old Salford (possibly Eccles even Swinton) saying. Now I’m thinking what other things we say that others may not understand…

The future that never was - Manchester's underground railway. Although work was started (and tunnels between Victoria and the Arndale Centre still exist) it was abandoned shortly after that to be replaced by the overground Metrolink tram service.

At Salford Quays earlier. Detroit Bridge, former railway bridge moved here in the 80s. To ‘float’ it into place it had to have a certificate of seaworthiness. That means it’s also a ship.

A lot is made of gentrification in Prestwich and I for one am a big fan. I love that craft ale bars sit by Joey Holts’ pubs. Artisan coffee shops aside Butterfingers greasy spoon. And my favourite organic fruit/veg shop adjacent to Iceland. It takes all sorts!

Big shout out tonight to all the lovely people of Warrington who turned out for the vigil for Brianna Ghey. There are far more kind people in this world than nasty ones. It's just hard to remember that sometimes.
Well done Warrington.
This afternoon my daughter Lauren, friend Jayne and I, attended the vigil in Warrington to celebrate the life of Brianna Ghey.
There was so much love, kindness and respect found in the huge turnout for beautiful Brianna. She was obviously adored and will be forever missed.

Throughout this week, I want to celebrate the music of our city/county. So I’m going to do a countdown.

Got it? Good.

Feel like I need to share this wonderful mural that depicts the park and the key themes that people talk about when asked about Boggart Hole Clough.
Deer, heron and fox.
The lake.
And of course the Boggart.
The building in the centre is Booth Hall Hospital.
Something amazing happened in Boggart Hole Clough last week.
Over 4 days Jodie created this fantastic mural at on the wall of Lakeside Cafe.
The image was created with input from local schools and the history of our local park.
