It's been such a pleasure to be part of the Big Weekend build up shows this week. The Moyles show and my show tried this out last year in Bangor and it was one of my favourite weeks we've ever done on the show. We repeated it again this year in Carlisle and I've loved every second of it.

We've been all over place this week: played a match at Carlisle Cricket Club, opened a new 6th form centre at William Howard School, played bingo, went zorbing, had a lawnmower race, visited a retirement home and went to one of the Big Weekend Fringe BBC Introducing gigs at a venue called 'The Brickyard'. I get around. Add into this some quasar and karaoke last night, it's fair to say that I've had a flipping good time.
