Feel Good Friday - Episode 11

Posted on Friday, April 23, 2021

Welcome to another edition of FEEL GOOD FRIDAY...the place to be for some positivity and fun headlines from our amazing corner of the world! Whether you and your 6 friends are in need of cheering up after reluctantly cancelling your exciting 'European Plans' earlier in the week or maybe you've eaten too much Caterpillar cake....either way, pop the kettle on and let us put a smile on your face just in time for the weekend!




We start this week with Morecambe resident Gareth Sheppard who walked an outstanding 26 miles from Blackpool Tower to the Eric Morecambe statue on Thursday!  It is worth noting he achieved the Feet...(I mean feat!) alone and wearing his renowned comic design 'Pow!' suit.  Gareth decided to try and raise some money for Cancer Care and Morecambe Foodbank and so far raised over £600 in the process.  A huge well done from all of us - we hope Gareth is resting plenty today! 

Staying in Morecambe and close to the Eric Morecambe statue, Morecambe Councillors remain hopeful that plans for funding of the Frontierland site redevelopment will be passed in an upcoming meeting.  The proposed plans include the creation of a permanent home for outdoor music events, funfairs and travelling circus shows, all currently used on the proposed Eden North site.  There are also plans to include the recently created artwork installed along with the fencing on the Promenade.  Concerns were raised that Morecambe's popular events could be lost once the Project gets underway, but hopefully, this will now not be the case...Fingers and toes crossed!

Fire Rescue teams were deployed to the Slyne with Hest area after an unsuspecting young cow was in need of rescuing from Lancaster Canal.  A calf had lost its footing whilst grazing on the banks of the canal!   Fire Rescue teams attended the scene and successfully rescued the young calf to dry land.  Happy to say the cow suffered no injuries and carried on grazing inland under the watchful eye of its mother! What a Lucky Cow!



And finally, today is St George's Day and with the glorious weather we have had, maybe you have missed out on booking a place in one of the popular Beer Gardens in the area?

 
Fear not...to celebrate this annual English celebration, Blackpool based 'The Lancashire Wine School' are running a Zoom 'St George's Day ONLINE Wine Tasting course' at 7.00 pm tonight! Packed with interesting facts, history and modern techniques, you can enjoy participating from your own garden, kitchen or dining room (sensibly and responsibly, adhering to government guidelines of course) and discover some new favourites created here in England!  Participants will be sent a list of recommended wines along with nibbles to compliment.  Tickets cost £12.50 (which are now almost sold out) and can be purchased via the Lancashire Wine School. 
 

Join me next week for another Feel Good Friday. Why not let me know what you have planned or been up to? We would love to hear from you! Until next time Stay Safe, Keep Smiling and Remember..."Better Days are Coming!" 

Thanks for reading,
