We continue our conversation with the self-described independent spirit Pat Esgate, progenitor of the Anne Lister Birthday Week (ALBW) festival. A few hints are dropped about updates of the Anne Lister Society that runs tandem with ALBW, and how it was developed by Sally Wainwright, Anne Choma, Laurie Shannon, and Pat. Pat looks each day for positivity to carry into the future, an important task especially in today's political climate. She reminds us that we've been through worse. That if we work hard, and stay active we will get through this.
