During lunch I popped into the municipal art gallery - it was good to see the new collection which had recently been unveiled which celebrates LGBTQ+ themes.

A somewhat sanitised journal of my life - consisting of random musings and observations, and places I have been.
Everything you could possibly want is within a ten minute walk from where I reside - from a pharmacist, newsagents, coffee shop (that sells delicious pies), to a greengrocer. The suburb is served with a good bus route to the "metropolis" and also commands stunning walks through the valley and beyond.
I spent part of my lunch break in Nero's. It's nice to escape from the office and have a read without any distractions.
In the afternoon I visited Cusworth Hall today! In the 1720s it was just an orchard, but by 1740 Wm Wrightson & architect Geo Platt transformed it into a grand estate. They even rerouted a medieval road for those views! You can still see the 1733 iron gate today. 🌳✨
An enjoyable morning was had in the environs of Thurnscoe - discovered a superb antique cum auction house which had an array of strange and macabre oddities.
Yesterday I went to Whirlow Brook Hall ostensibly for a late breakfast at the new cafe. Sadly, when I came to order there was a power cut(!). So, instead I had a very substantial breakfast at the Hidden Gem Cafe at Bents Green. The cafe is part of the Works Ltd initiative that helps support young people with learning disabilities.
