A very wet Tuesday morning saw me visiting the Eagle and Child to have a chat with Eve Townson and Glen Duckett.

If you’ve not heard of the Eagle and Child before, they are a multi-award winning family dining pub situated overlooking Ramsbottom.

Providing training and experience for many young adults; helping them learn a trade whilst building up their confidence in the hospitality industry. Similar to what Jamie Oliver did with Fifteen back in 2002, Glen Duckett is doing here in Ramsbottom.

Every Wednesday I run a small quiz on twitter and Facebook. Through the day you get two clues and then big reveal as to what it was in Ramsbottom each week.

Here is one of them, I plan on creating more archives here if they prove popular.

Embarrassing, but I can’t exactly afford a camera crew…

Only a year ago, they were all the rage, everyone had one, your Mum, your sister, Gran and Grandad all taking photos of themselves doing it.

What am I talking about? Yes, you guessed it, a selfie stick.

Let me set this for the record first off, technically, it’s a monopod, technically. I know, selfie stick is what everyone calls them, but personally I think that just makes them sound cheap (sadly, a lot appear to be).

Why am I talking to you about Selfie sticks? It just so happens, I recently added one to my gear. I know, I shock myself sometimes, I was one of those people who scoffed at the time. My wife even got annoyed because she wanted one at the time.

This week has been terrible, a terrible week of weather! Even this weekend it’s been a rare occasion for it to have stopped raining.

Hopefully you’ve not been too negatively affected by the weather. I saw lots of photos of flooded roads, but not too many of flooded houses. I think we all probably saw that stranded Ice Cream van. Who’s buying Ice Cream from a van in November?!

Over a year of promoting Ramsbottom

November 11, 2015 by Lee

It’s been an eventful year. Since I started This is Rammy it’s grown from a website geared around promoting Ramsbottom where I just wanted to publish everything I learnt about our town, to an award winning podcast.

When it was first started, I had no idea that in less than six months I would be launching a podcast. Firstly, aside from consuming lots of podcasts as a listener, I didn’t have the first clue as to where to start to create one, other then I’d need a Mic.
