A bit of a personal post from me today, so please bear with me, but the 23rd August.. it's an important date for me.
My dad would have been 82 today 🤍
It's also the day I left Granada Reports, exactly one year ago. After a bit of wrangling over when I could leave, I was offered 23rd August, so I definitely knew it was the right thing to do.
A year after leaving, with nothing concrete to go to, but the need to do something different, I'm proud of myself.
I'm now doing something I really love, and have created it myself.
Good news for my hometown.
Wigan doesn't get eye rolls from me 🤣, just pride ❤️, and I love all the reactions.. people stop to chat all the time, and this page had over a million hits last month...*gulp, and THANK YOU!
Website now live too, it's new, so be kind if you're checking it out, we still have a few niggles on it, but I'm really chuffed, and hope you like it too.
Every year this day hits me hard to be honest, and this year, a bit harder, because I'd like my dad to see what I've done. plus he was an accountant so he could've done my books (not that I've got any money 🤣).
Never doubt yourself, and if you're not happy, change it ❤️
Happy birthday dad x
