I am notoriously bad at keeping secrets, but I have one to keep right now. Fortunately, it’s only for a few more weeks and although I’m involved in it, I’m a very minor player in the whole thing. Still, it was a great experience and I was giddy as hell. (I don’t get out much – and I do get over excitable too)

Here’s me getting the train! Ooooh , a choo choo train! I’m 61 years old not 3 but still!

It involved an early morning trip to Manchester (a thrill in itself for me as it meant I got to spend time with my youngest) and afterwards I had a wee mulled wine at the Christmas markets and tea with my boy.

All in all a great day out and I’m proud that even after a day I’ve managed to keep it a secret because…. SSSSSSH! IT’S A SECRET
