So very sorry to hear this. Mandasue was a lovely woman and wrote brilliantly about Manchester. Sending love to her family and friends.

I think our media should have made more of an effort to show this glorious floral carpet in Bradford.
The #Bradford flower carpet was phenomenal. 330,000 dahlias used to represent the city's textile heritage and multicultural population.
The flowers came from Belgium where the original Flower Carpet event has been held since the 1970s.
Secrets on the Fells (Donovan & Young #3) out in paperback! A bitter winter’s night in the stunning desolation of Fountains Abbey. Dedicated teacher, loving husband and father, Patrick Armitage, lies dying, his life blood freezing on the ancient stones.
