On the morning of the 4th of July, The Venetian in Ramsbottom suffered a devastating fire which ripped the heart out of the restaurant. I wrote about it on the day it happened and managed to catch up with Paolo yesterday to see how things are getting on and what the plan is for the future.

This week I went down to the Hare and Hounds where they were hosting, for the second time an Open Mic night as a precursor to the Literary and Arts Festival that is due to take place in Ramsbottom on the 21st of November.
It was a great night, I met a lot of people I hadn’t met before and listened to a lot of great poetry. Many people think that it’s stuffy to listen to poems and get in touch with feelings, to those I say come down to the Literary and Arts festival and relax, you’ll enjoy it, I promise.

On this weeks episode of This is Rammy I had the pleasure of speaking to local artist Adam Rowlinson. I set off for his house on a dark midweek night in October to record the interview, and Adam was extremely welcoming.

This week on This Is Rammy we have a conversation with Pam Smart from Incredible Edible Ramsbottom.
Incredible Edible started life around 5 years ago when a founder of the movement came to provide a talk to the community, from that day forth, Incredible Edible Ramsbottom was born and the rest is history.
Incredible Edible are a Guerrilla group, but don’t worry, they’re not the scary kind. They are activists though, by planting trees and growing plants on patches of land which are either disused, or have been offered as a space where the group can help to spread their green fingers.
All of the edible plants are free for people to use, they are for the public, however, please just take what you need so that there is enough for everyone.

I was lucky enough to be able to interview Melanie Southworth for This is Rammy a few weeks ago and discussed with her the climb that she’s about to undertake. Everest!
From growing up in Ramsbottom on Bolton Street, visiting The Major with her father growing up or even running a shop in Ramsbottom, Melanie has been heavily involved with Ramsbottom which is why she’s taking the Ramsbottom coat of arms on a flag to put on the top of Everest.
Whilst chatting it became evident that Melanie is a very grounded person, who clearly doesn’t appear to let anything phase her, no’one takes on Everest lightly and Mel fully understands this having been some way up it previously.
