In the first of a new series of blog posts, I recall my early days and the circumstances that gave me a passion for radio — beginning with the pirate stations of the 1960s … On Monday the 14th of August 1967, at just after three o’clock in the afternoon, I sat alone in my [...]

London – Our Temporary Playground
Marcy and I took a few days off last week and went to London. We’d booked tickets with Superbreaks to see two musicals — Grease at the Adelphi Theatre and Joseph at the Piccadilly Theatre — and we were staying at the Millennium Hotel in Sloane Street, at the heart of London’s most fashionable shopping [...]
Banwell Bone Cave
For just four special days during each year, a local place of interest opens its doors to allow the public a rare glimpse into an amazing past age. Banwell Bone Cave was discovered in 1824, on land then owned by George Henry Law, Bishop of Bath and Wells. His estate nestled on the shoulder [...]
Glastonbury – Van Morrison & Corinne Bailey Rae
On the day my PC died, Friday 10th August 2007, Marcy and I were looking forward to popping down to Glastonbury for day one of the three-day Glastonbury Abbey Musical Extravaganza, a sort of extension to the famous festival that had taken place in Michael Eavis’s muddy fields a couple of weeks before. This was, [...]

It installed just fine — but when I downloaded some of the [...]
Stratford-Upon-Avon: Shakespeare’s Birthplace
My good blogging friend Meeyauw has really got into Google Earth since I introduced her to it a couple of weeks ago. She very kindly involved me in the Google Earth Challenge, the banner for which I now proudly display at the top of this post. I’m not really sure who started it, but as [...]
Sand Bay and Woodspring Priory
Thursday morning was cold and blustery as Marcy and I headed off to Sand Bay, determined to complete our daily constitutional. Sand Bay is the next bay up the coast from Weston-super-Mare, just the other side of Worlebury Hill. The photo shows the bay looking back towards the hill from about halfway along the beach. [...]
Walking To Fitness
As a type-II diabetic — diagnosed a couple of years ago after a lifetime of stuffing myself with sugar and junk food — I was supposed to keep an eye on my blood sugar level and take plenty of exercise. But being a head-in-the-sand kind of guy by nature, I ignored my doctor’s advice from [...]
