I have written occasionally on this blog about people who inspire me.

Now I have decided to make this more of a regular feature of the blog, and when I hear about someone who does something inspirational, or even just plain nice, I am going to shout about it for everyone to hear.

Which brings me to Nigel Parker, who was given the honour of turning on the Christmas light at Portishead this year (a very big honour that is usually reserved for celebrities). Nigel looks to be one of the nicest blokes around, and if you are feeling a little down today, just take a leaf from Nigel’s book.

Here’s the video. If you come across anyone that you think is an inspiration, please let me know. Everyone needs a little inspiration.
