My Heritage Open Days adventure no.4 - a guided tour of Keele University 🐿️ Keele Hall. Visited many times but never appreciated its history! Included dining and breakfast rooms so fitted the #EdibleEngland theme too!

So looking forward to more #HODs adventures this weekend! So far I’ve been to three regularly visited places and learnt a shedload of new stuff about them - and one place on my doorstep that I never knew existed! What’s your Heritage Open Days find of 2021?

What a treat! Thoroughly enjoyed #FiddlerontheRoof by @newcastleoperatic at Stoke Rep Theatre Players. So impressed by the singing, acting (and the dancing) - and a huge shout out for Tevye. You were brilliant. Definitely recommend if you can still get tickets!

Congratulations Danny and team! Well deserved! Maybe “Ay up duck, ma’am” 😉

Woo hoo looking forward to my (not so) guilty pleasure - the new season of The Great Pottery Throw Down

Only need one word to sum up the current New Vic Theatre show! It’s bloomin’ #marvellous & Michael Hugo, Gareth Cassidy & everyone else involved in this wonderful production, you were bloomin’ Marvellous too! As the chap sitting next to me said “I can tell you’re enjoying it”

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️13% recycled 🌍18% sent abroad 🔥45% burnt ⛰️24% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! Jo Churchill Rebecca Pow

Grand #dayout National Memorial Arboretum doing the #escapechallenge #operationgames and #operationmedal. Great fun and of course always a moving experience being amongst so many memorials to brave men and women #lestweforget🌹 instagram.com/p/CeY-9FSq9sR/…

A new, rather than an old favourite but one that will come out again and again (not least because we have a large tub of Gochujang paste to use up)! barnardfood.wordpress.com/2023/05/06/kor…

You’ve done it again New Vic Theatre #TheCard is a glorious, feel good production! Loved every minute - and Gareth Cassidy you are truly a phenomenon!

So looking forward to this!!

Well that was a great way to spend and evening! What an excellent #alanayckbourn show New Vic Theatre is #constantcompanions! Thought provoking, funny, engaging, superb performances - just go and see it!!!

I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. Robbie Moore MP, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?
