Well panto was fab, a great company, happy times and new friendships forged; but it's long since over.
The new year has brought much change. On a personal level, there is good news. I have another grandchild on the way. My daughter's first baby is due in July. My grandson will be 3 in July too and I will be..... having another birthday the same month!
Sadly I'm not doing nearly enough radio work, I'd love to do a late night phone in again. Those years at TFM, The Pulse and the BBC late show in Yorkshire were very happy and challenging times.. I find it hard to believe that the late night phone-in is dead but that's what I'm told. They were hugely popular, whichever station I worked at. But there you go, I turn my back for a couple of years and it's gone! I often wonder whether I made the right decision to leave the late show in Leeds. I had a happy time doing the mid morning show at BBC Tees but my heart is in late night radio. Maybe one day..............
I'm currently doing more writing, voiceover work and roleplay. And of course, I'm still presenting Songs from the Shows on BBC Tees, Sundays 5pm till 7pm. Tune in and hear about the shows on in your area and hear the very best tunes from the musicals. If that's not a great time for you to catch the programme, you can always listen again if you visit the website bbc.co.uk/tees
