This is a fantastic new Sheffield story. ‘Blood is Thicker than Alcohol’ Tragic, comedic, uplifting, redemptive, powerful and true. A highly recommended read. Order it now via Amazon. It’s an amazing achievement for Tracey Ford

A lovely reception for our talk about the legendary Sheffield Cutler Stan Shaw at the former home of the 19th Cutler George Wolstenholm, Kenwood Hall for Heritage Open Days 2025. Great to have a large collection of his knives on show. Genuine Sheffield Craftsmanship.

Someone was shocked when I illustrated how Hitler came to power in 1933 Germany. and how his whole strategy was to blame the country’s economic ills on the Jewish people and the finger was pointed and their fate was sealed. Fueled by hate and anger just as Farage is doing. Are you shocked I’m not.
