How you can take part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2020

by Leave a Comment

Did you know that the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s BIGGEST garden wildlife survey?

Each year the birdwatch attracts almost half a million participants who spend just an hour counting birds that visit their garden.

Once collected and submitted, the data helps provide a vital snapshot of the UK’s birds each winter. This allows the RSPB to monitor trends and get a snapshot of how our garden birds are doing.

I had originally intended to be putting out at least one “proper” episode of the podcast between Christmas and now however I’ve not been 100% so I’ll be pausing the podcast until the new year.

Thank you for all your support over the year. The podcast has been around since 2015 but this year even more people have been able to hear about our town through the podcast because of your sharing and listener-ship.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2020.

All the best,

Lee

Well, wait no more as it has just arrived on my doorstep, so I thought I’d share with you here. Hopefully this is clear enough, you should be able to click on the image to get a bigger version.

Change of location for Christmas Market

by Leave a Comment

Due to expected dodgy weather (bad weather, here in Ramsbottom, who’d a thought it?!) the Ramsbottom Christmas Market event is being moved inside St Pauls Church as opposed to taking place on the gardens in front.

There will still be all the Christmassy fun to be had, but it will now be that little bit warmer.

This is taking place tomorrow on the 15th of December inside St Pauls.

There is also the craft fair happening inside the Civic Hall too. I was there today, lots of things on offer, some you won’t have seen at the monthly farmers markets.

Conservative Party 21,660
Labour Party 21,555
Green Party 802
Liberal Democrat Party 1584
Brexit Party 1240

This means James Daly is our new Conservative MP for Bury North.
