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.

Originally hailing from Derry in Ireland, Jennifer Hardy has moved around quite a bit. Having lived in places such as San Francisco, Sydney, Perth and Edinburgh. She has now been living in Ramsbottom since 2015 and is loving it – especially the eating out part in places like Levanter.

In 2009 Jennifer was even a finalist in the Red Stripe Music Awards.

In 2013 Blackened Eyes, Jennifer’s debut album was released.

Jennifer is currently working on her follow up to Blackened Eyes and planning a UK tour, but you don’t need to wait! You can hear her support Fred’s House on Wednesday the 17th of February, so when this is released, just three days!

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day I’m having a bit of a love-themed episode.

In the week that Manchester was voted number 8 in a list of “The Happiest Places to work” in The Guardian I thought it would be good to get a head start on Valentine’s Day.

You’ll hear from Cheryl of Highfields Florists, Mike from The Card Shop and a special word from Stuart of The Vineyard on how he has love in a bottle!

Don’t forget that this is a podcast episode post, so you see that little play button up near the top left?

Give it a press to hear this episode in all it’s glory.

Even better, if you subscribe to the podcast, you’ll get it into your podcast player of choice or a link to the post emailed to you each week – so no searching around.

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week we’ve had more dodgy weather with another storm coming in and battering the North West, this time it was storm Gertrude. I was out on Saturday and saw the fishmonger on Ramsbottom Market having a tough time of it in the wind with their signs blowing all over the place.

There’s just very little you can do to secure them in such strong winds. As well as the strong wind we’ve had downpours of hail and thunder and lightning.

You can’t say we don’t have some dramatic weather up here in Ramsbottom, storm chasers need not look very far.
