What Have You Always Wanted To Know About Ramsbottom?

June 6, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

What Have You Always Wanted To Know About Ramsbottom 600px

Is there anything that you have always wanted to know about Ramsbottom?

Whether it’s what time and days Peel Tower is open or the number of doors on Bridge Street (other people might want to know that too…), there’s something about this town that must be nagging you.

Chances are it’s something neither Google nor any of your friends know the answer to.

And if YOU’RE wondering about something, other Rammyites probably are too.

That’s where I come in. I want to know your Ramsbottom questions – and have a go at answering them. It could be anything related to transport, history, shopping, eating out, attractions or anything else you can think of – provided it’s related to Ramsbottom.

Send your “what’s”, “where’s”, “who’s” and “why’s” to [email protected] with “Rammy Question” in the subject line, and I’ll do my best to get your nags sorted out on the site.

Feel free to send any relevant pictures too.

I cannot guarantee I’ll know the answer to absolutely everything you throw at me, but I might know someone who does.

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.

New coffee shop Grind and Tamp

May 30, 2016 by Lee 3 Comments

Grind and Tamp Hot ChocolateIt was a warm bank holiday Monday when I took a trip to the recently opened Grind and Tamp.

Sandwiched between Weale and Hitchen and Bridge Street News; Grind and Tamp has a very prominent location in Ramsbottom, what with it’s proximity to the crossing and the direct visibility of anyone coming down via Square Street.

Wandering in I was greeted very quickly and she politely waited whilst I had a gander at the blackboard. I asked if they took card as I wasn’t sure if I had cash, they don’t at the moment, turned out I had cash anyway. Being newly opened, I expect taking card will come soon enough, let’s face it it has to as many people now simply don’t carry cash.

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.

Horses, Graveyards and Homemade Kites

May 24, 2016 by Lee 1 Comment

These are hills

One of the reasons I moved to Ramsbottom with my family was for the ability to get out in the hills and woods, spend an hour or two wandering around and then come home again without ever needing to set foot in a car.

On Sunday, as the rain had stopped I decided to take advantage and do just that. My son had just woken from his nap (lucky boy) and from somewhere in the depths of my mind I remembered how much I liked making kites as a child, so I asked him if he wanted to make one. He was very keen and couldn’t wait to use his scissors (the fact his are plastic and they wouldn’t cut string nor carrier bag didn’t seem to bother him too much as I distracted him with stickers).
