We did it at my regular secondary school. Laughed so much I had to leave the classroom. 46 years ago and I still remember it clearly.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Was in Florencevfor a few days, went to see Michaelangelos David, which was amazing, but also very taken with this exquisite embroidery, hidden on the top floor that so few people seemed to visit. Signed and dated 1336, this photo is just a fragment.
