Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary Leonora

Heart in Sky (Red Arrows) Southport, September 2012

Today, is my fourth wedding anniversary to Leonora (who also writes on this blog). She’s stood by me through good times and bad and I love her with all my heart. My reporting of what’s happening at Wirral Council would probably be very different over the last few years without her help.

The photo used is from the Red Arrows display at the weekend at the Southport Air Show (which despite the Red Arrows display team having to use one reserve aircraft that couldn’t use smoke) was very impressive and enjoyable. Certainly Wirral are trying to do a similarly large event with the Ricoh Women’s British Open at the Royal Liverpool in Hoylake.

So here’s to four years of marriage and hopefully many more to come.

The news today has been mainly about the long-awaited Hillsborough Independent Panel report into the deaths of ninety-six people at the fateful FA Cup semi-final in 1989.

Whatever words I write cannot express how the families of those who lost their lives many years ago feel, but today hopefully the world will see at last what really happened those many years ago and the extent of the cover up now that the documents have been released to the public.
