Hullo There!
Did you get 'April fooled' yesterday-I did'nt- thankfully!
It seems the morning press had there usual 'suspect' stories such as a new 'driverless car'!I can remember one year there was an ad for 'rainbow coloured' paint!I wonder how many folks were actually 'fooled' by it-the only colour visable down B&Q was red-as in faces!Another year there was news of a spaggetti farm in Norfolk-it was actually featured on BBC's 'Nationwide' programme.
I wonder what will be 'passed off' as genuine next year-watch this space.!

MARCH ing Into Spring 2012.
Hullo There!
Welcome to the March 2012 Blog.
Last year we had that very mild October and at the moment we seem to be having a rather mild late winter-in fact my garden is ablaze with colour from some early flowers.Even the trees are beginning to 'bring forth' buds-let's hope we don't go back to normal with a 'cold-snap' and find the things looking slightly worse for wear.
On the radio front,the second series of Doctor Who is in full swing(Sundays between 1-05-1.30pm) and next year sees the 50th anniversary of the TV programme-did it really start all those years ago in 1963!Plans are afoot to broadcast our third series next year to tie-in with the BBC tv series-watch this space!
From April(in place of the good doctor)we bring you 12 episodes of classic Sherlock Holmes stories,starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce-the original and some say the best!
Until next time-

February's Blog for 2012.
Hullo There!
As I sit here putting this blog together the snow has arrived!
I guess it had to come sometime this winter and one can expect having to start wearing the old green wellies to get out and about.
Talking about wellies-can you remember as a youngster having 'chaffed' shins,due to the things constantly rubbing against them,that is until you worked out that long socks were required to counteract the effect.
I remember as a child going to Ingram Road school during a bad winter and having to wear the things,only to find that some discomfort at the toes of one welly was due to one of those square pencils(remember them?) somehow getting in there.It still remains a mystery even today how it found its way down there.
Back to the weather now and the garden has turned white,so no chance of venturing out there today!

Happy 2012.January's Blog.
Hullo There!
I can't believe that it's a year since I broke my right shoulder-still have a bit of a 'twinge' now and again!
Did you have a good Christmas? Mine was very quiet-in fact so quiet that due to lack of visitors,it's a wonder the front door did'nt heal up!I guess sometimes one just needs a bit of peace and quiet-a time to reflect on the past year and by the same token look forward and plan the year ahead.My main resolution for 2012 is to spend more time 'smelling the roses'-in other words just taking time out now and again to 'chill' and stop what ever I am doing.Also,I have decided to get out and about more with my camera and hopefully fill up another as yet blank photo album.I still use 35mm film as I don't really like all things digital and besides I find 'proper' photographs,that is from negatives seem to have a much 'warmer' colour range than something produced on a computer.Call me old fashioned,but I'll keep using my 35mm camera a wee while longer.
Hope you have a great 2012!

'Tis the Season to be Jolly! Dec.2011 Blog.
Hullo There!
Welcome to the final blog of 2011 and what a year it's been.
January started out with my 'fall' and October seemed to think it was Spring-confused? I thought it would make a 'clever' starting paragraph,well that's my excuse anyhow.
The shoulder is almost back to normal in that as some folks told me I would now feel the 'dampness' from the weather-how true!I can now predict to people when we are about to have a 'damp' patch(outside of course)-although I could try making a bob or two on the side by going into folks homes,predicting 'oncoming' rising damp!You never know it may work and even help the unemployment figures by creating jobs within the private sector,although I guess it comes under the 'Big Society' remit - so no chance there,then! It was worth a shot I guess.
Hope you are finding the pre-Chistmas rush stress-free.This year I decided to start a bit earlier than last by getting everything ready-presents,cards,etc.Hope you did the same this year.Just 'chill out' now and look forward to the day itself.
I'll end my 'festive' ramblings by wishing you all the best,oh and do watch the ice when taking your post-Christmas lunch walk-hopefully we'll have a mild,ice-free Christmas.

Of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness-Novemeber Blog.
Hullo There.
Welcome to the November Blog.
November always seems a 'dull' month to me-weatherwise with it's short days and long nights which seem to last for ages.There is some colour to be found in this 'grey' season and that's the bright red berries still on the trees.Thanks to an 'extended' summer(remember the start of October) my back garden is still putting on show of laveder,although once the autumn frosts kick in they will become a distant memory.
On the radio front,I'm still spending my time broadcasting both from my home studio and the one up at Hough Lane.Still putting out my SKEBA memories at home and Radio Days 'up there'.Saturday mornings up until the end of December finds me broadcasting also on Saturday mornings from home with both Powder River and Breakfast with Stephen from 8.30am.The only 'downside' to these early morning shifts is having to rise when it's still dark outside- and dull!
See you next month for my Christmas-type blog.

Indian Summer-the October 2011 Blog.
With the recent few days breaking all previous records(very hot) over the last few days it's rather nice to work inside where it's a little cooler.
The term 'Indian Summer' is from the native American Indians,who looked forward to a warmer late September and with it an extended hunting season.It surely can't last and I guess in a few days time we'll be back to big coats and pullovers.Enjoy it while you can!
On the radio front we continue our Sundays with Paul Temple-and I stand corrected-the second story is actually The Conrad Case.
Meanwhile on Saturday mornings for the next 15 weeks,starting at 8.30 and going through to 10am we are broadcasting the western series Powder River,followed by my Breakfast with Stephen radio show-do catch them if you are able-but don't let the toast burn!
A whole mixture of programmes can be found throughout the week-check out our website for all the details.
Still 'taking stock' of where I'm at- I hope to make some major changes in 2012-more 'soul searching' and looking at where I am at the moment-I'll hopefully be able to share them with you nearer the time.
Happy Listening-T.T.F.N.
