Back On The Horse - Alrewas Radio and other things

So I have started University and the first thing that I do is forget to blog for 2 months. I know, great isn't it? The point really is that I haven't had much to blog about. I can't tell you about village stuff or radio stuff or farm stuff because I am not there at all, and I can't tell you about Uni stuff like work because to be honest there has not been an awful lot to tell. So the thing that has inspired me to jump back on the blogging horse (funny image isn't it?) is a trip back to cold and miserable Alrewas.

The reason for my return was to see my sister play in the pit orchestra for a production of Wizard of Oz put on by the school she goes to. Now let me give you a little bit of background. Normally it is me sat in that sweaty and cramped seat in the pit, and my sister sat in the audience trying to make my laugh by pulling funny faces at me, but this time it was the other way round! Now apart from it being incredibly weird to go to a school production and not have anything to do apart from sit there a watch, it was great fun to pull funny faces at my sister while she tried to play clarinet!

So on my return home I thought I would make the most of being home. The typical cliche of bringing your washing home from uni for your mum to do does not go unfulfilled of course, and neither does the obligatory trip to town with the family to look round T K Max and get a Greggs, as well as the obligatory "help with heavy lifting job" that also needs to happen. This time it was for a washing machine, which heaven only knows what my Mum and Dad have got planned for it in Yorkshire, but I will tell you one thing: apparently washing machines have a great big concrete slab in them. Who knew?

Anyway the point that I am trying to arrive at involves a meeting around this very MacBook regarding Alrewas Radio. Yeah do you remember that thing in the summer that I spammed you with until your finger bled from clicking No... no... no... no... Well it is back! Woo!

I joke really because I am really looking forward to opportunity to do it again, and I am also really excited to be able to pass the radio baton (that is 2 times I have used a metaphor in this blog... things really are going downhill) to Ellie Smeeton and Alisha Herriot, who have featured on the radio before but are now hopefully going to take on more of the management and organisations and stuff, so I can enjoy drinking tea and eating mince pies!

So watch this space for more news about the Radio to come including some official details to be released very soon. And in the meantime, type the url tinyurl.com/alrewaradio into the bar at the top and sit next to your computer. Don't move until I tell you to click go!

Thanks for reading!

And I nearly forgot, happy opening the first box on your advent calendars... for tomorrow!
