Super event today. A great bunch of people supporting the Spire Appeal at St John's.
Welcomed by the Town Crier, entertained with piano and clarinet, enjoyed Dry Spy buffet, listen to me jabbering on about the needs and then great stories from Sajid. Raised some money too 🙌❤️

Super day in #oswestry with @IHBCWestMidland insight into High Street Heritage Action Zones. So wonderful to see heritage buildings being regeneration and used.
And today's highlight.... delicious cross buns from Niche Bakery.
