Bring Back the Hare to Rawtenstall
A majestic, corten steel hare sculpture at the centre of Rawtenstall, promoting ecology, tourism, education, and folklore. A new visitor destination, and a new focus for pride of place in Rossendale.

We’ve just heard that Lancashire Arts & Community Fund have awarded nearly £10,000 toward this, so we’re now over halfway towards reaching our target!

Aimee Williamson dances under Pendle Hill in the opening of her dance piece The Pendle Witch. Last night in Grindleton.
It was good to be there, enjoying the mist over that ambivalent landscape.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

if Orban loses, do we think he flees to the US?
Incredible scenes at Péter Magyar's rally tonight in Miskolc, an industrial city in northeastern Hungary.
May Hungary soon be a free, democratic, and prosperous nation, and firmly realign with Europe 🇪🇺.
I am praying for a free and fair election on Sunday.
