Malta, Tweddle and the PCC

Hello, Well I'm back in Cheshire after a roller-coaster (roller-Cola?) couple of weeks. Malta was gorgeous - It was lovely to get away from everyone and everything. I met some characters there too.

The temperature was 22-26c in the day and 18-20c in the evening (about 20c warmed than here in the UK - and just over 3 hours by plane)...

I came back and had to go almost straight up to Newcastle. All the results I have so far are good this time. And Prof Corris said I was an 'inspiration...

Talking of which, while I was away I won a Trinity Mirror/Scottish Power 'Sporting Champions' award - pipped for the top prize by Olympians Beth Tweddle and Jade Jones.

I wish I could have gone to the event as Denis Taylor and host of celebs were there...

It was straight into the PCC elections. I was blogging with CoverItLive direct from the count in Chester - and it proved very successful...

And after going to watch Aston Villa at Manchester City yesterday - today has involved a light gym session, a shop round ASDA (or 'The' Asda as they say here) and now - about to enter a long, hot bath.

I will add some pics of Malta in the next few days...

Remember to follow me @Widneschappy on Twitter or say 'hi' on Facebook...

Goodison lark!


Hello People,

Busy week in Mark-ville...Although a lot of it escaped me probably.

Last weekend went back to Staffs for a friend's birthday and it took me four hours to get 80 miles.... Utter nightmare....

Of course by the time I got there I was playing catch-up - hence the two days of feeling crap afterwards!

On Sunday I went to the Everton v Villa game at Goodison - Amazing to hear so many Villa fans chanting 'we pay your benefits' to the Scousers - always amusing.

We were so wet and cold the away fans let me and my friend Rob into the Everton Supporters Club for a drink beforehand.

I was parked SO FAR away from the ground - I was knackered as well by the time I got back to the car - which was still there!

Been in the Widnes Weekly News CLICK and The World CLICK ON ME this week. Media whoring eh?

Been starting to feel a little bit better after my blip - But got to re-start my new nebs this week - so thing may go downhill...

Been swimming/walking a couple of times but back to my old times - very depressing. But am going ot the gym tonight again before the election count...

L8r shakers - much pixie love to one and all! xx
