Make a Mark – a Chat with Moot.
Local photographers are captivated by The Ship Inn’s mural wall, the ever changing artwork is eye catching and inspirational.

Preston Wish List
Random yet fun post! Thought I’d play town planner for the day & list what I’d like to see in Preston’s city centre…Here’s my personal Top 10…
1. A whacking great big kid’s play area, on the scale of Withy Grove Park Play area in Bamber Bridge, with a skate park, BMX ramps, fountains, picnic tables & cafe for families.
2. An independent cinema.
3. Cultural quarter with subsidised artist’s workshops, offices, an exhibition space and shop.
4. Tramlines, cycle routes & zero traffic.
Shop local, look fabulous!
Our local governments are urging us to shop local.
It seems, however, that as much as we know we should people still like to go in to the same convenient shops and buy the same bog standard things.
