A Word In Your Ear with Roy Edmonds - Thursday, June 3, 2021

Flaming June and what a relief! The sun is shining and we’re also more free, as Covid restrictions relax further.

Even doom and gloom about the economy and virus variants is quietening down, as Britain gets back to work this week. Our local sports have picked up, too, with Blackpool again securing its place in the football Championship and Lancashire winning our first roses match in 21 years.

The bank-holiday weekend was a shorts-and-sandals affair and the weather looks like staying that way. What a pleasure, at last, seeing people sporting brighter summer clothes and smiles - rather than the grungy, ground-down look of that long, lacklustre lockdown.
