For a variety of reasons I have not posted on my blog for a while but I am going to are a special effort from today to post everyday.

First thing to note it is very foggy in Bury this morning. I hope everyone who is out and about in their cars drives carefully and there are no accidents.

Second thing is Ramsbottom has just been mentioned on The Broadcasting House programme on Radio 4. It is a piece about Remembrance and why people wear poppies and who they think about when they pin their poppy on. I guess everyone has their own reasons and thoughts for me it is about remembering the sacrifice that so many millions have made over down the years fighting for our freedom.

Third and final thing this morning as it is a Sunday I will be off shortly to carry out my duties as Churchwarden at St. Anne’s in Tottington. My co-warden is flying off to warmer climes on holiday today so but the welcome help of one of our deputy wardens means I will not be on my own.

Yesterday, I managed to get to the Shakers game. The Lancashire derby against Blackpool. An action packed game with seven goals and fortunately the majority going Bury’s way!
