Moss Side open day photos

For various reasons I’ve been distinctly ambivalent about returning home to Manchester in the coming weeks. But this set of wonderful images from Hannah Beatrice, reporting the ‘Open Yardens‘ event showcasing the back yards and gardens of Moss Side, is enough to stir my enthusiasm for home. They’re also a welcome antidote to the images of Britain that have dominated the last few weeks (by the way, one of the most bizarre side-effects of last week’s riots was the Twitter hashtag ‘prayforLondon’ trending in Australia. Really.)
