What a gorgeous sunny day spent amongst the fabulous Withington Baths community - celebrating 11 years. Bear Hunt in the newly refurbished garden. Beers from Burton Rd Brewing Co and delicious food from Boz's Pizza and BBQ Coffee from Purpose Coffee Company . Great music through out, bake off and dog fancy dress. Highlight definitely Martha chatting with Len Grant and watching the master at work ❤️. What a day. Thank you to Withington Baths for having me and to Nuela for organising. And Nat for helping set up x

It was such a privilege to have the opportunity to be part of the opening of the new seating area in Old Moat Park yesterday. We were joined by three groups of fabulous primary school children from different local schools. I did two stories one about a plastic bag called Stanley and the other about a very tidy badger called Pete ❤️
Thanks to and for the funding, for the books, Baths for the loan of the gazebos and tables, for the fruit and MCRparks for ranger support. And special thanks to the , volunteers and for helping out during the sessions. And finally to the fabulous for giving me the opportunity 😊. I love our community and our wonderful parks 🌳and Withington Library for providing a change of venue when the downpour hit ☔️

Mary is such a gorgeous presence. Seeing her on a Wednesday always brightens my day. I met her daughter a few weeks ago and she was telling me that she used to work as a primary school teacher. She is always mesmerised by the children and today she broke into song and remembered all the words to Old Macdonald - what a joy to see ❤️. Next terms classes are now available to book Mondays at 11.15am in Sale and Wednesdays at 11am in West Didsbury.
