Hard for me as a non driver but also for over 80s to drive to hospital, drs etc. So grateful for the community who get together to look after each other, volunteer organisations who with little or no money provide transport for hospital appointments and the local pub for food and social support.

Yesterday I grumbled my way across Manchester as normal routes are now blocked by the Christmas market huts. These are overlooked by the Halloween inflatable monsters that have just gone up on some of the buildings.

I’ve used double decker buses too but might try bananas!

A beer has been brewed specifically by Marble Brewery and the food and cake is amazing! A great team effort and a project which I learnt lots from.

There are links to MDMArchive as co-founder CP Lee worked here and Mole Express was based here too.

Ooh, thanks. I’ll have a look in the periodicals when I get back and see if I can find the seal in the Owen correspondence.

Some info on the blog post below but I have seen some seals with it on www.co-operativeheritage.coop/blog/bread-a...

A familiar looking beehive on the Oastler medal.

I wish I could have attended m, it looked fantastic.

I will do indeed.
