Three years ago today, my darling Mum died of Covid six weeks after my Dad. I’m thinking of all those who lost their lives; all those suffering the pain of bereavement and all those who did and continue to do their best to help their fellow human beings through this catastrophe.
@jacquistephens5 Thank you Jaqui. These anniversaries can be so difficult. Hope yours passes with gratitude for her love as well as the sorrow of losing her.
A short clip of Barnsley’s own Arthur Godfrey’s ‘Christmas Eve’ - a carol unearthed by @BarnsleyMuseums Rehearsal footage from this morning - the first time the group had ever sung the piece. Looking forward to @BBCRadio4 broadcast at 9am tomorrow (Xmas Eve)
Here’s my Christmas offering for 2023, followers. ‘We Saw the New Year in.. In An Inn!’ Hope you like it and Kevin Baldwin’s super animated sections. Have a cracking Crimbo and New Year - wherever you may see it in!
It’s hard to put into words just what a loss @RadioAndrewE is to local radio and the BBC. A rare thing in broadcasting - someone who’s incredible talent is matched by his kindness, generosity and willingness to help others. A finer presenter, and gentleman you will never meet.
