A Day at Staffordshire History Centre
Earlier this week, I took myself on a midweek adventure – I drove over to Stafford to spend the day at the Staffordshire History Centre, a research visit to help uncover more of the story behind Whittington’s Garden of Remembrance. It was my first time doing archive research, so everything felt new and full of possibility.
An Unknown Soldier
If you’ve visited the Remembrance Garden recently, you may have noticed that our Unknown Soldier had been standing a little wonky. Time, weather, and a worn post had left him leaning, his stance less certain than when he first arrived.
A Quiet Beginning
Sometimes ideas start quietly, with the feeling that something matters even if you’re not quite sure why yet.
After staying in long past lockdown, I found myself looking for somewhere to volunteer. I needed something to ease me gently out of the house again.
On the Name: Wend & Wild
I didn’t exactly choose the name Wend & Wild — it feels more like something I unearthed. As though it had been resting quietly beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to be found.
