Start of the Morecambe Bay fund-raising walk for Leeds Children’s Holiday Camp Association on the most glorious day of 2008.

I’m the one above the apostrophe S, wearing reflector specs and dangly earrings.

For over one hundred years, the camp has been providing free holidays for children who need them. This year, children from Chernobyl joined children from Leeds for part of the season.

SUCH A JOURNEY published by Bradford Libraries, 1997, ISBN 0-907734-42-1

Illustrated by Claire Harris

For the best part of a year I collected and edited Bradford people’s peace stories, poems and memories for the Peace Museum – an unforgettable experience. Fifty people, age eight to eighty plus, contributed a wealth of material. A travelling exhibition based on the project, including photographs, drawings, paintings and text, is available from the Peace Museum.
