This is episode 53, which in a round about way means the podcast has been running for over a year. Thank you for listening now, and week in week out. I hope you’re well and you enjoyed the episode last week where I spoke to Andy from Arcade Club.

This weekend it’s been the Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival, the yearly event is now in it’s eighth year and it brings in sellers from all over the country and shoppers from all over the North West.

In the last few weeks we’ve seen the iconic chimney stack of the old Mondi Paper Mill start to be demolished. Although it will not be completely removed – just having a third of it’s current height taken off, it will still change the scenery of Ramsbottom which has remained since the mid 1800’s.

The primary reason for this is safety, having sat unused since 2008 the chimney and site have both became unsafe. In 2014 a 60 metre exclusion zone was constructed around the chimney and site to prevent accidents.

Since the chimney is changing forever, I thought I would dedicate an episode of the podcast to go into a little detail about the history of that iconic chimney.

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?!

In this weeks episode of This is Rammy, not only do you have a fresh new intro and outro to the podcast, but I also got a free beer off my guest. That’s a first for the show too. The beer Matt gave me was a Yankie Lip Smacka, and it was delicious.

Matt Holmes is owner and head brewer at RammyCraft, this week, I ask him how he got started in brewing beer.

On this week’s episode of This is Rammy I got to speak to Lisa Coulborn who is opening up her new childrens shoe shop Little Goody New Shoes on Bridge Street in the very near future. It’s situated in the building which was previously Purple Tiger and has a great placement on Bridge Street. Lisa also tells me that the shop has previously been a shoe shop multiple times.
