Fashion show Harry's birthday Liverpool.com

Fantastic night at the Liverpool Echo Fashion Show. First time in 11 years we have ventured outside the city centre. Wavertree Tennis Centre though proved a good venue if only for the huge floorspace it provided for our stalls and catwalk.
It is still on today and tonight with tickets available on the door and I'd urge anyone who can to get along and have a look for themselves.
The show itself was first-class - stunning models but real everyday clothes that combined style with the fact that normal people could actually wear them and enjoy doing so.
One section of the show featured 16 Liverpool Echo readers who had auditioned and won the right to take part as models. They all had stories to tell and ranged in age from 16 to 80. I had a lump in my throat as they marched proudly down the catwalk. Well done to all of them.
Check out our new website www.liverpool.com. It's a thrilling accompaniment to the vibrant Liverpool and Merseyside entertainments scene and something the region has needed for a long time. I've had an involvement in its conception and construction but have now handed over to its editor Rachael Tinnniswood. Rachael is a rising star and will make this website and its accompanying magazine into something enormous. Don't take my word for it. Log on.
Son Harry is 14 today. Where do the years go?
Had treadmill tests at the hospital yesterday to check heart still fuinctioning ok after bypass surgery three years ago. All went well but bollocking for putting on weight and drinking too much.
Stone and a half must go immediately.
Watch this space.
