Walls rising and a trip to see ten times table

The walls are beginning to rise from the foundations.

It looks rough, and hard to imagine that when fully built right up to the vault of the building, and covered in other materials this is whats there.

But then the lovely blue arch running across the ceiling is in fact hiding the steel framework built over 100 years ago.

Each day progress is being made, and yet while we look forward to the completion of phase 2 , we haven't taken our eye off moving onto to the final phase. So if you know anyone with the odd £300,000 to donate please let us know!!

Well it's an amazing city even at night. Great to take in the view from the steps having walked up through the station.
You go to the Lyceum to watch the Alan Ayckbourn play 'Ten Times Table'. You end up seeing people from the previous nights church council I led at Stephen Hill Methodist Church. As the play gets going its like watching all the worst aspects of church meetings or indeed any committee meeting. I recognised the characters all too well. So of course I chuckled at them and at myself. It was enjoyable enough, though the ending was indeed a farce. Many however left at the interval. When one of the characters spoke of 'the many not the few' I wondered had a certain Mr Corbyn's team based their catch phrase on the play!!The view of the city certainly enriched the evening.
