This is one for the lesson & memory books. Yesterday we were crawling on missed bits of glass shards and gravel as we painted heavy-weight stainless steel playground equipment that’s nearly double my age. Instead of whining, we heard laughter. Instead of complaining, we heard stories and ideas and hopes. Residents, of all ages, cameContinue reading “Bit by bit, we will re-build things with colour, hope & togetherness.”

Skateboarding produces space, but also time and the self.
My bike (which I made from scratch) is pretty mushed up from when I got hit by a car 2 weeks ago. The front wheel is about as damaged as my ribs.

I am my community
This is gonna be a dope day for the community of Firth Park in Sheffield. If you’re about, you should come to it! The only thing I’m doing is illustrative Mapping all the positive stuff what residents thinks makes their community so great and positive! So we can learn from that!
