Chris Helme - Sunday Bandstand 26 December 2021

Sunday Bandstand 26 December 2021

I hope all our listeners had an enjoyable Christmas. Now we have to look forward to 2022, let us hope that it is a big improvement on this last year.
Talking about New Year... Are you starting to think about New Year resolutions? If you do how long do they last, we all start off with the best of intentions but in most cases they soon drop off. Then you promise that you will do it again next year.

Enjoy the show...
