Fablevision’s ‘Woven in Renfrewshire’ is currently exhibiting at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, featuring a selection of work from our previous project, ‘Woven in Govan’ (20/21) as a prelude of what’s to come in the project. 1/3

Huge thanks to everyone who turned out to Feathered Friends of Kings Park- truly an afternoon to remember! We had the fabulous Kevin Sinclair who was demo-ing bird ringing. David Roberts displayed his beautiful bird photos, all of which were taken in the park

Currently on my way to Glasgow to welcome these amazing chaps over the finish line after they’ve cycled all the way from London. Please support them if you can - we all volunteer so all money goes directly to the Malawi education projects they support. #pedalwithapurpose
