Hi everyone,
As 2019, a year which has seen a lot of changes for Northern, draws to a close, I'd just like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and all the very best for 2020.
I'd also like to say a big thank you to everyone who has provided updates which have helped me keep this blog up to date, without your help it wouldn't be possible.
All the best,
507021.

Update.
I'd like to apologise not posting an update for February, however, after a much busier than expected February and early March, I just didn't have the time to do so unfortunately.
To make up for last month, I'm planning one big update for February and March on the last weekend of this month. After that, I'll do my best to get back to updating the blog on a monthly basis from April onwards.
I have now added a "Next Update Expected" message on the right hand side of the blog, which will be updated each time I update the blog.
Once again, thank you for reading.
