Hello and welcome to your Thursday afternoon instalment of the ECHO's new 'Our Liverpool' feature.
In this twice daily round-up, we'll be showcasing some of the best ECHO content, as well as many of the major talking points on Merseyside. The end to the January blues is finally in sight as we approach the final weekend of the month.
Bright and sunny conditions have arrived on Thursday as many will be quickly approaching a much needed first payday since Christmas. To reflect the positive spirit, I have selected a round up of some of the cheeriest talking points on Merseyside this afternoon.
