Today is 'Band in a Van rehearsal' day. They are fine tuning all of the music, content and performance ready for the next wave of their incredible music-making events.

What does 'Home' mean to you? Is it a place or a feeling? A place to cherish or flee, to make or break? Heritage or institution?

I am a member of my local library in MK. Fabulous team.
I love browsing their recommendations or the books recently returned for new authors.
It’s free to join the library – there are no age restrictions and you don’t even need to live in Milton Keynes. Your shiny new library card gives you access to all the MK libraries, free computer use & many online resources including eBooks & eAudiobooks. milton-keynes.gov.uk/join-li…

"Going to a library made me discover my passion for reading but it also, much later, made me discover something even more important to me: an appreciation of human variety and bonds."
