@cornwallskies Hi, would you be happy if I used your photos for a weather article on @ThePacket please? With a name credit of course.

Ukraine seem to have taken inspiration from Rachel Stevens' Sweet Dreams My LA Ex for parts of their song #Eurovision

Don't forget to vote today! You may think 'What does it matter?' but with government handing over increasing power, particularly to CornwallCouncil,whoever is elected to be your councillor will have a real say in decision making over the next 4 years.Make sure they have YOUR say.

I've written about what it is like inside No. 10 - from canapés to the Love Actually staircase, and getting shouted at by a Downing Street police officer 🫣!

An exceptional night of theatre at the @HallforCornwall, with Stephen Daldry's re-telling of An Inspector Calls even more relevant today than ever. (And the staging is astonishing!)

There's still time to see the final night of The Nutcracker at the @HallforCornwall this evening - and I highly recommend it. A truly magical evening.

Only got to chat with Lisa off #TheTraitors yesterday 🤩! And she's as lovely in person (well, on the phone) as she comes across on screen.
*Warning: This article contains spoilers from the show up to this point*

@doda501 Thank you, Happy Christmas to you too!

[Emma Ferguson @PacketEmma]

Every industry has had another difficult year; the news industry is no exception. But receiving a beautiful Christmas hamper in the post from work makes the effort and dedication required feel that bit more appreciated. #SoPretty! 🎄🎀

[Emma Ferguson @PacketEmma]

This year's @HallforCornwall panto is just joyful from start to finish - and dare I say, even better than last year?! If you're still in two minds, read my review - and if you still haven't decided after that, just go anyway! 💚 🫘

We had a beautiful night at the @EdenProject Christmas Experience this week - a festive treat for a week off work 🎄
Thank you @eden_media_team!

AVOID Helston town centre right now. A van parked out of the box near the Meneage Street zebra crossing means the double decker bus can't get past and the whole town is at a standstill. (And if you are the van driver please come back and move it!)

The football was amazing last night and we are so blessed to have brilliant commentators in the UK.

John Hunt is one of the best and his world was ripped apart yesterday when his wife and daughters were murdered.

Mark Chapman knows himself how brutal life can be at times. Give yourself a moment to listen to how he introduced the football after the news about his colleague and friend had just been reported in the bulletin before he started 💔

Anyone else watching #Eurovision2024? @PacketKate and I are doing a thing... Why not join us?

A nice pre-birthday treat for the girl (and me!) thanks to the @HallforCornwall and the live stage show from @OfficialBlueyTV!

@Chrismatthews16 I'm still gutted you were travelling when a job came up and then we lost you to the other side all these years 😁 Haha, yes, enjoy the weekend before having to face all those journos with their annoying 'What's happening here then?!' questions 😉 (Myself included!)

[Emma Ferguson @PacketEmma]

@Chrismatthews16 @JeffReines Good luck Chris, will miss chatting court with you but look forward to still keeping in touch in your new role. You'll be a big loss to local journalism.

[Emma Ferguson @PacketEmma]

This is just wonderful - and filmed here in Cornwall! I remember the tail end of characters like this when I started working in news 20 years ago. You don't get them so much now.
Thank you @Skentelbery for sharing.
(Also the moment at 1:18 that no one acknowledges 😂)

#OnThisDay 1975: "It does look remarkably like a kitchen, doesn't it?"

Bernard Falk visited Noddy the horse's luxury £25,000 stable, which - despite appearances - was emphatically not designed for human habitation.

[Emma Ferguson @PacketEmma]

@burngold Thank you, fingers crossed it's better than some parts of this year at least! Happy New Year to you also.

Recived a press release '5 difficult ice skating moves you should not try at home'. I think turning my home into an ice rink was my first mistake... ❄️

@doda501 Thank you, and to you also!
