It's #PostalWorkersDay, here's our Postman Pat. Pat and his black and white cat, Jess were the brainchild of author John Cunliffe. Pat and the village of Greendale were brought to the screen by Ivor Wood of Woodland Animations, who produced the first Postman Pat episode in 1981.
Loving that adults are raising to our #CityArtCentre painting/writing challenge.
Walk bravely
into the mystery of tomorrow...
Somewhere in the dim, flowers and funny eyes in the darkness spark new beginnings.
Believe it
and the dim, green maybe becomes the shining is.
