This might be a good time to show some appreciation for your local BBC. We have had a hard day today and there are harder days ahead. I can’t speak highly enough about my talented colleagues. local journalists serving their communities.

Alexander took very Ill over night. After phoning 111 the doctor suggested he may have symptom for several things inc scarlet fever! BUT with having a raised temp(37.3) we have all got to self isolate for 14 days. So here we go! Wish us luck ❤️

To say I’m gutted is an understatement. It wasn’t to be. I saw a young lad crying in the fanzone and I gave him a
@Boro
gift bag and told him to save his tears! There’s plenty of time to shed those! We go again ❤️
These people are just amazing. Home today after my knee replacement and I can’t thank all the staff enough! Everyone has been so kind and very understanding. Thank you for all the get well messages and support. This is where the graft start . ❤️👏🏼
Today marks 30 yrs since I entered a radio studio to present a show for the first time. I was as nervous before today’s show as I was back then. Radio has changed massively but we can’t turn back the clock or halt technological change. Live for today and be gracious for the past.
I want to celebrate but I can’t. This season has been horrible and should be a wake up call for our club! I’m relieved we didn’t get sucked into league 1 but the
@Boro
need to take a long hard look at the coming season and make some hard decision. I love
#boro
but we need honesty
I’m so proud of this lad! He tried out for Fishburn community FC u8’s… he scored 3 goals and got man of the match! He’s now signed on. Most heartening thing? The team celebrated together, as one. ✊🏻✊🏻❤️❤️
I started in radio coming up 30 years ago. The local radio landscape is rapidly changing but what doesn’t change for some presenters is how you care and how much you love your community, our words are much more than “news headlines”.. tonight I got this.. we really need to think
This always fills me up, this was my Mam’s Christmas tree, I kept it after we cleared her house. 5 years ago our Florence asked if she could put it up in her bedroom… she’s now 8 and it was the first thing she did when I got the decs down . That’s what Christmas is all about.
4 emails today telling me to “Treat my mother on mother’s day” every thing from a pamper day to luxury chocolates... I would give my soul to have my Mam back for one more day. Sadly these marketeers don’t know how much I would love to do what they’re offering.. I miss Jean.
“Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day.
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning.

Christmas special! Is there a better tv show? To say I’m excited is an understatement!
Thank you to an old family friend who found this pic of my wonderful grandparents… these are the people who took me in and brought me up. I owe Tommy and Jenny so much ❤️
I’m not comfortable with blocking people on here, but when you get repeated unsolicited jibes or comment it’s not good. I’ll take any criticism and leave it but I won’t take repeated chew. If I reply we’re discussing, if I don’t and you keep going then I’ll block you.
Well, didn’t expect to finish on air before Christmas so early but thanks to a lung infection I’m done! I should be back on my feet for the Boro game on Saturday according to the Doc. All hail antibiotics! Bed rest and drugs.. see ya back on

My grandad, Tommy Elliot was a coal miner for 45 years working at both Trimdon grange and Fishburn collieries. Him and his marras powered the country. They never got the recognition for their sacrifices during the war. We should be proud. I am.

Walking and getting out is vital for ya well-being! I think it’s well documented that the last 3-4 months work wise have been challenging so self love is so important ! Surround ya self with radiators not Hoovers . That’s ya mission!
