Off to visit family this weekend, so before I set off on a long journey it’s good to know at least one person is heading home. Well, in this case, it’s the statue of Eric Morcambe, repaired and once more in pride of place on the promenade in Morcambe. One of the men behind one of my favourite comedy sketches I hope this brings some sunshine if you’re suffering with the Winter chill.

Plenty to read, plenty to think about.
Enjoy.
