Guy Garvey's Rainy City


Radio 6 presented this Sunday afternoon show to us about Manchester! The rainy city, the iconic features of the hum drum town. If you're interested in learning a little more about the grey skied city, why it rains like it does and the melancholy feel to the Manchester music, I suggest a listen again! Manchester's Guy Garvey hosts the show with some interviews thrown in there too, from 60s Manchester to the current day, catch up here...

"Manchester has become a powerhouse for progressive culture and politics".

Charms

I have a real thing for little jewels, charms and trinkets. I love to collect pieces and scour through piles of someones cast offs! Old bits from charity shops, seconds shops, car-boots and designer sale pieces too, make my collection an eclectic mix. Etsy is another place I keep searching on, especially as there is so many lovely hand made unique pieces. Wearing a simple outift, finished with a quirky piece of jewellery is the way I like to dress. Here is an adorable little shop I came across online. Based in San Diego, the items are all one of a kind, which make you feel even more special. I love the little Swan pendent pictured below...
