Great to sit down with George Ezra in Hertford this week to chat about his exciting new project, Hertford Quarter, and all the positive things happening in our town!

Fantastic to hear how he wants to highlight the many extraordinary people in our community.

@JaneSartin @HertfordMuseum Great to see this reported on BBC News website this morning. Hopefully this publicity will create a good footfall, well deserved by everyone involved in the project.

This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, I raised in the House of Commons the challenges young people in Hertford and Stortford face in accessing mental health support and asked for an update on the positive steps this government is taking to improve it.

Delighted for the team, who work so hard to deliver for our listeners. A good day!

@ColinSpenc4257 I remember going on a school trip to the Tower of London. I ate a Mr. Whippy ice cream before the teachers insisted that I drank the third of a pint milk that had been warming up nicely in the coaches' boot. I subsequently sicked it all up over the headmaster's Daily Telegraph.

@BBCSteveR @bbcnickrobinson @amolrajan An excellent insight, I really enjoyed it. I hope your friend, Steve, in the newsagent's cabin, was aware of your fondness and pleasure in your chats with her?

Enjoyed this last night, & there are tickets available for 3 more shows this weekend in #Hertford. A good way of getting away from the gloomy weather, & there’s even a sing-along!

@revmaryhawes Happy Christmas from somebody you used to know about 50 years ago!
How scary is that - not me, the number!
