Not only does Sarah Lovelock run the best coffee shop in town whilst simultaneously finding time to be a doyenne of the Roller Derby scene but, in the rare moments when she has a brief window of downtime, she’s taken to decorating the neighbourhood hoardings!

She’s recently completed this little number.

Now, this quote has been attributed to a whole slew of righteous women and it’s doubtful that the great Rosa Parks ever actually said it... but she certainly deserves remembering and celebrating for her determination not to behave as the social norms of 1950s Alabama dictated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks

And, as an added bonus, because today is Bob Dylan’s 77th birthday, here’s an all too brief snippet of him performing ‘When The Ship Comes In’ (with Joan Baez) at the 1963 March on Washington, just ahead of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech. Happy Birthday, Bob! https://youtube.com/watch?v=TFc8glsWjgU
