@ColinTheMathmo too sweet! I'll remember that! Love to both of you.

@ColinTheMathmo next time! Was a short trip to Liverpool (well, bit longer because of cancelled train last night)

@ColinTheMathmo Yep, currently on a coach to Runcorn.... Taking longer than the train does Liverpool - London! (Slightly exaggerated)

Heartfelt thanks @SaraMohrPietsch for choosing out beautiful album as album of the year. The guys and girls will be thrilled. @BBCRadio4
