I shall let the link do the talking here, though the only thing that I feel inclined to add is this

If you cannot have noteriety in your own home town, your place of birth, local area of residence, it is a strange thing to make it in the big time!

I am glad that I have had the experience now of being given local recognition, for it is humbling, yet exciting, and it says something special, something that all the world wide fame could never say.

Read the link for the article that is today printed into the paper, with a few short miles of where I was born, and in the very town that so much of my growing years took place. A very special starting point in more ways than one!!
