Welcome back to another episode of This is Rammy. This week we’ve had Father’s day and the result of one of the biggest voting decisions in living memory for the UK.

Yes, we voted as a country, just about, to leave the EU. However, that’s not what this show is about and I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of that news in the past few days.

So, on with the show.

This week in Ramsbottom we’ve had some drama on Tanners Street with the road opening up and threatening to swallow anything that wants to get anywhere too close to it. Yes, we had a sinkhole on Tanners.

Thankfully the “Road Closed” signs were obeyed and cars used alternative routes… Well, of course not, people were still driving up and around Tanners bringing with it more risk to the road and safety of others.

That road is a nightmare at the best of times. It’s a 20Mph road with people flying past like they’re at Silverstone, some people really need to consider other people at times. I’m glad we didn’t move onto that road, we had looked at a house on Tanners at the time, the house was lovely but with a young child I really didn’t like how busy the road was right outside the door.

Hopefully the road works are completed soon but currently it looks like it’s going to be well over a week before it gets completed.

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, on the week that Kaash Indian takeaway managed to turn its frown upside down by trading in a one star food hygiene rating for a five star, we have been blessed with glorious weather and a fantastic turn out for the 1940s weekend.

Speaking of glorious weather, I’m currently recording this with a certain shade of red on my face, not due to embarrassment, ok well maybe a little bit of that, but more due to being out without any sun cream on. I should know better, but I do it every time we get a bit of sun. This time we were on a family trip to Moss Bank Park in Bolton, which we’d never been to before but is very well laid out and I just didn’t put cream on. Stupid really.

We’ve had some lovely weather so far in Ramsbottom for this year’s 1940’s weekend, the highlight of which was the flyover by the Spitfire.

Not only is it 1940s weekend but it’s also half term next week and with that in mind I’ve decided to throw together some options if you’re stuck for ideas with the family this week. If you have no responsibility for any children, you can pretty much do what you want anyway so make your own list.

It would be great to see your photos if you do manage to do any of these things. This is Rammy is the major social media networks so sharing them to This is Rammy on Twitter or Facebook would get them seen by me. I love getting suggestions from you too so if you have any other things you like to do over half term I’d love to hear them.

Have you ever thought about writing a book? Well my guest this week has done that, and not only is he now published, he is published by a method that me or you could do tomorrow, not that it would necessarily be successful.

That method is the very popular crowdfunding concept. If you’re unaware of what crowdfunding is, allow me to provide a brief description. Crowdfunding is where people with an idea can put forward that idea online and anyone who thinks that they would like to see that idea happen can “back” that idea, essentially invest in it.

They do this by agreeing to pay a certain amount of money, this is often rewarded with perks, for example with Pauls book, one of the perks included an invitation to the book launch, your name in the book and a copy.
