A West End smash hit and a family quest
A quick edition for a sunny spring day
This week’s Stored Honey is a short one. I had two different subjects to write about but an emergency vet trip with one of our pet rabbits meant I had to postpone an interview until next week - and Rachel Maclean’s installation at FACT Liverpool wasn’t ready for visitors when I arrived for the press viewing on Thursday.
It was due to be open for the private view that evening though - so should be up and running if you decide to go and see it before I’ve had the chance to go back and write about it.
This does all mean that I have will have plenty of juicy things to share with you over upcoming Stored Honey editions - including something new I’m working on that’s just for paid supporters. I’ve been waiting for spring to arrive before finishing it - that’s a very vague clue so I’ll be very impressed if you can figure it out from that.
