And as 25 in 25 draws to a close, it doesn’t just mark the end of a remarkable year, it marks the end of my time delivering the weather on North West Tonight.
But what a privilege it has been to share stories, skies and smiles with viewers across the region I call home.
25 in 25 feels like the perfect full stop.
A reminder that the North West of England isn’t just a place I’ve reported on.
It’s a place that has shaped me.
The people, the landscapes, the kindness and the resilience will stay with me long after the final forecast fades.
So for one last time, to the lovely viewers who have welcomed me into their lives and homes: thank you.
