AN events organiser from Barnoldswick has made the most of months of forced coronavirus lockdown by writing his first book. As well as being on furlough from his job, Jonathan Dickin, caught Covid in the summer, and was badly affected, but despite all, has written My Basketful of Happiness – Why I called Time on Alcohol. The book is all about his dad Andrew’s relationship with alcohol, before he gave up drinking for good, three years ago. “Dad’s life revolved round alcohol for most of his adult life – through the good times and the bad,” said Jonathan. “After giving up, he was just buzzing about how well he felt and what a huge difference it had made to his life. He wanted to share with others the reasons why he had finally called time on alcohol.”
