In Liverpool yesterday, for lunch with Metal at Edge Hill station. Edge Hill is the world’s oldest passenger railway station still in use, and the arts organisation Metal now hosts a creative programme in the restored station buildings that regularly invites artists to create works to celebrate the area and the local history.

Lunch was fun: we cooked a Kashmiri feast and discussed travel and food and creative inspiration. There will be similar lunches with different artists at the station for the next twelve days – giving a whole new aspect to the old expression ‘to get off at Edge Hill’….
