“From Hertfordshire to Hartlepool with love.”
“For all my dog friends.”
“I am proud to support the campaign to preserve this important site.”
“Happy Birthday: A piece of Castle Fields for us to enjoy together”
“Enjoying many a walk to the ‘thinking bench.’”
“In recognition of the Armenian Genocide.”
“Hold on to what’s important: Lucent in tenebris.” (They Shine in Darkness)
