Afternoons on BBC Radio Leicester, BBC Radio Derby and BBC Radio Nottingham. Husband, father. Too much time spent in old cars. And boats. All thoughts my own!

@CrowlandMH It’s a really neat solution. Thank you…it’s been a bit of a dumping ground, but getting to grips with it now. Found the remnants of a tiny cast iron fireplace in a previously inaccessible corner last night. Not sure how cosy it would have made it…!:-)

[Ben Jackson @9amben]

@CrowlandMH Just fabulous to see the ongoing work you’re doing to save this wonderful building. I think it’s fair to say the old place has found the right owner at the right time!:-)

@HA11NNH Omg! Hannah that’s amazing!

[Ben Jackson @9amben]

[Leicester Cathedral @LeicsCathedral]

Did you hear Canon Emma on @BBCLeicester?

It was great to talk with Ben Jackson @9amben for his latest Secret Leicestershire episode on the 450-year-old love story that took place in Sign Language, right here at Leicester Cathedral.

@fugitiveink I know things have to change and so on, just seemed a shame for decades of dedication to just vanish. Loving your Crowland updates by the by!

[Ben Jackson @9amben]

@JoanneMOrmesher It looks wonderful! Happy anniversary!:-)

[Midlands Movies @MidlandsMovies]

It’s Red Arrows Day. They are flying North at 12.58pm on the county border reaching Leicester itself at 12.59pm Rothley 1pm then turning West over Coalville at 1.01pm! Don’t miss them!

[Ben Jackson @9amben]

@rothleyweather We really can’t thank you enough! :-)

[Ben Jackson @9amben]

@fugitiveink I was thinking the same. Like the summer is clinging on, but autumn is anxious to get cracking. There’s even the faint smell of autumn on this evening’s warm breeze.

@JoeWilsonwords Awww shucks, thanks Joe. They were good times!:-)
