On Tuesday, we had a great evening celebrating the national launch of Heritage Open Days 2018 and our Unsung Stories project put her forward. I had the privilege of speaking to the assembled crowd about my love for Heritage Open Days: the people, the stories and the places. And about my great admiration for the thousands of dedicated organisers whose creativity, ingenuity and hard work ARE the festival. A topic I could easily speak for hours about!
