Loved presenting my show today!
I also loved helping Father Christmas last night. I joined with members of The Lions Club Billericay to guide Father Christmas and his sleigh around some of the streets of Billericay on their annual charity appeal.
It was a great fun night, even if my feet did ache a bit afterwards after two and a half hours! People were always pleased to see us and it was great to see the wonder in the children’s faces as well as collecting lots of lovely lolly for the Lions charities.
