Heatwave

With the easing of lockdown and lovely weather this week, it's been a great chance to meet up within the group of six or two households and enjoy the sunshine.

Key Workers

We've all depended on key workers throughout the pandemic. Whether they're looking after us when we're ill, delivering food to our door or ensuring supermarket shelves are full, they've all played a vital role. I filmed with three key workers to give people an insight into what the last year has been like for them.

Sports News Live

I got the chance to do the sports news again on Look North this week. It's only the second time I've done this and it's a very different experience to doing live reporting out on the road which I'm much more used to. Firstly, you have autocue to read, rather than having to come up with something to say when doing a live and also you have to make sure the transition from presenter to you and back is smooth - so it's more of a performance. I enjoyed it again and think the more I do it, the more relaxed I'll feel.

Chris Wilder leaves Sheffield United

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder left the club this week after almost five years in charge. Wilder took them from League One to the Premier League in that time. In their first match since his departure, the Blades were hammered 5-0 away at Leicester City. I filmed and edited an on the day story about Chris Wilder's departure. I have to say from a personal level I'm sad to see him leave. He's always entertaining to interview as you never know exactly what Wilder is going to say! And he watches Look North so he's got that right : )

Sports News Live

I had the opportunity to present the sports news on Monday's Look North for the first time. It meant presenting in the studio with autocue for the first time. It was a really good experience. Monday was a big day of sports news with the appointment of Doncaster Rovers Manager as the new boss at Sheffield Wednesday. I was the only person working on sport on Monday so I had to make all but one of the stories in the sports section of the programme. I very full-on day!
