Pip, pip! This morning I’ve been in sunny Huyton on Merseyside, and what a pleasure it was meeting lovely people like ten month-old Katie Deakin. I like to think I caused quite a stir – they don’t see many like me round here.
I was made very welcome and had a chance to learn all about the town. I was very keen to make this my first stop ‘on the road’; you see I’m a tremendous fan of English football, and Huyton is the childhood home of Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool and England football star. Back home in Antarctica, we watch all the top matches on Freeze-View.
I passed the National Wildflower Centre on my way into Huyton, and it looked beautiful, so very green – not at all like my home.
The weather today was glorious. I met dozens of wonderful families and some of the workers at Knowsley Fag Ends – the local stop smoking service. They do fantastic work – did you know they helped more than 1,800 people quit smoking last year? The team brought along some scientific-looking thingamajigs which showed us the amount of poisonous carbon monoxide smokers have on their breath – it reminded me of something I once saw at Casey Antarctic Research Station. Very strange.
Would you like to quit smoking? Call the Penguin Stop Smoking Hotline on 0800 032 7252.
Next stop Cheshire. See you there!
