Have a bump! I'm not near Manchester, but parents were both born and brought up nearby and memories of visiting DGPs - train to Piccadilly and then going over to Victoria to catch the branch line

I love the Womanchester banner and a fab article from Julie B. Best wishes for Saturday.

As @stumbledin link shows we did a post asking for every bodies "elephants" a while ago. We couldn't give too many details at the time but we already had plans for contributions from fabulous women and wanted to stir up some excitement with a post.
