I may have been the recipient, but the honour is really for work done by the whole team at @SESCICUK #socialprecribing in #Blackpool and @SelnetLtd on the amazing BBO and Drive projects in #Lancashire

Back in the Wish FM days, the radio station team used to play football with the local MPs.
You can only see the top of @AndyBurnhamGM head as he’s blocked out by the then Makerfield MP Ian McCartney.

Fun day with the Mayor of Preston, councillor Sue Whittam, launching the Selnet business support project for Preston City Council.
The launch was at an amazing new business, Female Body Workouts.
If you know anyone looking to start-up or grow a business, give me a shout!

Amazing team on @easyJet EZY2071 today. Air traffic problem kicked in as we lined up to take off.
While waiting the pilot gave cockpit tours, posed for selfies while the crew handed out water. Lots of information and understanding from captain.
Now an @easyJetholidays break

The team at Fun Coast Digital are saddened by the passing of our good friend Linda Nolan.
Linda was fiercely proud of Blackpool and did everything she could to promote the resort. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

Ode to Chris…
In a world of darkness, you’ve learned to dance and slay,
With every step you’ve found your way,
You’ve taught the world anything can be done,
As long as you don’t stick out your bum!
Though shoulders raised, lack of swing & sway,
With every heel lead you discovered the day,
A heart that dances pure & free,
Is worth much more than a ten from me.
You’re a light that shines for all to see!

The Together at Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Abbey last night wasn't the only one taking place... At the iconic Blackpool Tower the latest of our fifteen Community Carol Services celebrated even more people who have displayed love, empathy and support to those around them.

At the peak of my career in journalism I was writing about 30 stories a day.
Then in marketing I wrote stories for clients getting them coverage in the national press.
So for all those getting school grades right now, exams show the past not the future.

I wasn’t a close friend of Brian Moore but I did a gig with him for a client in Sunderland with @timremedy and we had lots of mutual friends in radio from his Rock FM days to talk about.
Sorry to hear he has died at such a young age.

I never knew it was possible to hear someone roll their eyes on the radio but @EvanHD did when he was accused of quoting Jeremy Corbyn while interviewing someone about Israel

Oh the glamour of working in local radio, leaning up against a Fiat Uno with a builders yard in the background.
@__ceri_ overwhelmed and @michaelvitti arms round Victoria Beckham.

As aerial sites go, ours is pretty impressive - even in the rain!
If you live close by, get down to see the illuminations before they end on New Year’s Day, oh and tune in to one of the 11 small-scale DAB radio stations we have in Blackpool.
