A’ draibheadh gu Sruighlea: rathaidean-mora, bùithtean tuathanais, caistealan agus parlùraichean reòiteig
B’ e latha slàn draibhidh a bh’ ann, le faisg air 400 mìle ri dhèanamh. Bhris mi an turas suas le grunn stadan, agus bha sin fìor mhath oir rinn e an latha gu math tlachdmhor. Ann an dòigh air choreigin, b’ e an trafaig as miosa a bh’ agam fad an latha aig Birdlip air an A417, mus robh mi fiù ‘s air Gloucestershire fhàgail! Continue reading
Driving to Stirling: Motorways, Farm Shops, Castles and Ice Cream Parlours
It was a full day of driving – with almost 400 miles to cover. I broke the journey up with several stops – This was really good as it made the day really enjoyable. Somehow, the worst traffic I had all day was at Birdlip on the A417, before I’d even left Gloucestershire! Continue reading
Spending Time In the Garden with the Cats
I’ve taken so many cat photos this week. With the weather being drier and warmer, I’ve been able to get outside and spend some time in the garden with the cats. Continue reading

Wye Not!? My Day Out in Chepstow
The Sun was shining this morning and I wanted an easy day out (ahead of my long road trip to Scotland next week). So I hopped in the car and drove about an hour down the road to the England/Wales border. My idea was to do a bit of a walk along the River Wye. Continue reading
On the Air: April 2026 – Spring Sunshine
I’ve loved putting together this month’s radio shows. April is Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month and so that featured prominently in one of my earlier shows this month (Different Minds, Different Sounds). Continue reading
Behind the Mic: Choosing the Music
The way I put together my shows has always been inspired by the radio DJs I enjoy listening to. An avid Radio 2 listener since the age of about 9 or 10, Johnnie Walker and Terry Wogan were my favourite broadcasters, back in the day. Continue reading
Paxford Races: North Cotswold Point-to-Point
The main races – of which there were 6 – started shortly after. I enjoyed watching the horses in the paddock where I could pick which horse I would back. Not being an expert in racing, I chose a horse based on which one I liked the look of, or which name appealed to me. Continue reading
Pastitsio and Politics: An Evening at the Apollo Theatre
The audience were clearly full of Yes, Minister fans – lots of knowing laughs throughout, especially at the classic Sir Humphrey-style exchanges. Plenty of people the same side of 40 years of age as I am – it wasn’t all people old enough to have watched the originals on TV! Continue reading
