Hello and welcome to the latest instalment of the ECHO's new 'Our Liverpool' feature.
In this daily round-up, we'll be showcasing the best of ECHO content, plus many of the major talking points on Merseyside - as well as some more light-hearted insights to help keep those winter blues at bay. I'm Jess, a writer on the What's On team with a slight obsession with books, shopping, film, and dogs.
If that gets you worried, fear not, as I'll be joined by a rotating team of writers to ensure you're in the loop on all the Merseyside moments that have piqued our interest. Today, I'll be out and about in the city chatting to some local businesses for upcoming stories I'm working on. If there's a local businesses you think needs our attention, let us know in the comments section.
