December 2023. Eye Kettleby. Melton Mowbray. Excitingly, tonight sees the return of the famous Philip (one “l”) Navigator atlas, the one I’d been pinking for 25 years before I got a bit bored during lockdown, or perhaps there was a shortage of Stabilo Boss or something.

So here’s a bonus post on the magic of Melton. We visited the town as it opened an impressive new skate park, in those nervy moments before the first burst… Continue reading MELTON MOWBRAY MICROS
