Hello!

Welcome to the website of Graham Fisher MBE and the cyberspace lodgings of Mary Spence MBE, she of  Sparrow Publishing. 


So, what's happening since the last time we met?  Ah well, nature takes its course and several of our critters have sadly moved on. To be lovingly replaced by others, I hasten to add. As you will see when you peruse  our humble website. Meanwhile, that big ol' wheel keeps turnin' and we all plod manfully onwards. Mary continues to create world class maps and I am still doing what I am supposed to be doing, whatever that is. 


In our efforts to make this website a cat-free zone we tried to keep all moggies out of sight. (Oh yeah? see below - signed A Cat). 


Previously this spot featured the spectacular 2012 Portland Vase Project artefacts now on open display at the all-new Stourbridge Glass Museum in Wordsley, near Stourbridge. Since then, these have been joined by the equally impressive Blue (Naples) Vase recreation of 2024. (at right)


The image shows this historic piece of Roman cameo re-imagined and, as with the 2012 Portland Vase, perfected  by local artisans. It can now be seen sitting alongside the 2012 Portland Vase in the museum.


The official biography of the Blue Vase project is now available through the usual outlets and from the museum itself. All proceeds will go to the British Glass Foundation, the driving force behind Stourbridge Glass Museum, in furtherance of its work. Click here for more.


The fascinating tale of how the former Stuart Crystal (makers of glassware for the White Star line, owners of RMS Titanic), was transformed by the BGF from a derelict glassworks into a world-class museum is explained here. 


And it's all next to a canal, which is where Yours Truly comes in as a waterways enthusiast and Trustee of BGF. 


So now you know.


Stourbridge Glass Museum is open to the public ... https://www.stourbridgeglassmuseum.org.uk


Please use the contact form here to say hello and ask us anything you may wish to know about the most exciting developments in the world of glass for decades.


Do also kindly report any bad links and we'll fettle them. 


In the meantime  ...

Canals and what?

Graham is a noted writer and broadcaster specialising in the inland waterways of the UK with an interest in the industries they served, particularly Stourbridge Glass, who has over the years carved his own unique niche as an observer of the unusual and the arcane (more).

Everybody loves cats, don't they? I hear even the Pope does; in fact he's a confirmed Cat-a-holic (with thanks to the master of silliness Milton Jones for that one).


Anyway, here is one such critter that begrudgingly allows us to live chez nous. Regular visitors will recall it was five cats and two dogs, but sad to say that since the last refresh we have lost Will-I-Um the Monster Puss and Gormless Angus the Mutt. They are greatly missed. But, as will be seen on your journey through our site, other critters have come along. Total currently stands at 6 pussies and 1 mutt.


Here is one of the pussies; this is Maisie the Minx. She is, as you can see, a bone idle slob like the rest of 'em. She is still lying on the same Aga and in much the same position as last time you saw her. The Aga is on. Just hold your ear close to the screen and you can actually hear her innards burbling.(*) 



(* And I bet you just tried that!)

The location: a secret hideaway somewhere near a hot stove. The cat: Dennis the Menace. Do not be fooled by those 'come to bed' eyes; he is the Devil incarnate and lives up to his name ..
