I have now found a reasonably priced hotel in Bristol and I’m all booked in. Many thanks.

I’ve just had a nice day working in a Brothers garden. This will help me to finance my visits around the Provinces. Can I be of service to anybody?

Message for Lodge Almoners. If you have anybody on your books who would benefit from a free bunch of flowers. Please get in touch.

Message for James Whateley. I inadvertently crossed you off my FB friends. I’m trying to find a way to put you back.

I have just walked through Poole Park into town and it’s made me wonder if anybody is going to join in the Remembrance Parade this year . Last year there was only two Freemasons which was a shame.

Sincere thanks to all at the Goose and Gridiron Club for the lovely social event today. I am really pleased to be joining your ranks. The ethos of your club is very close to my heart.

Very successful and enjoyable BBQ at Beaminster Manor Lodge this afternoon and well supported by our resident musicians. Good food, renewing friendships and great camaraderie, what's not to like?

Can anybody recommend someone in the Poole area who might recommend a car body repair shop? I need some advice.

I have what may appear a strange request by it is genuine. I am looking for a Lodge which meets on a Saturday in Provinces north of Warwickshire on the eastern side of the country and also on the western side north of Sussex. I’m planning a 7 day tour for March.

Has anybody used air B&B? I am looking for ways of cutting my expenses when I’m visiting the Provinces and I wonder if this may be the answer.

Is anybody familiar with Middlesex? 5 days of visiting Lodges. I shall be in East Kent followed by Twickenham, Harlow or Southgate before moving on to Berkshire. I am concerned about driving so near to London and I wonder if I would be better to go by train on a separate trip.

I shall be leaving the Amity Masonic building at 09.00 tomorrow morning to walk to the Sandbanks ferry and back. This is a walk to test out my new knee in readiness for the walk to Swanage and back with members of the Goose and Gridiron club. Please join me, rain or shine.

I’m on my travels again this week as part of my mission to fund raise for the MCF by visiting 1 Lodge in every Province and every Lodge in my Province. This week takes me to Bristol and West Wales. If you can sponsor a visit please get in touch. Every penny raised goes into fund.

I am really looking forward to my visit to Moira Lodge of Honour No. 326 in the Province of Bristol, and Teifi Lodge No 4648 in the Province of West Wales on this weeks tour. Another two to cross off the list.

What a belting night at Moira Lodge in the heart of Bristol. The Thidr Degree ceremony was so brilliantly performed and so different, it was an absolute joy. They also donated very generously to my Challenge fund. Off to Cardigan for another Third tonight. I’m loving my tours.

I enjoyed a superb meeting at Teifi Lodge in West Wales last night. Despite the terrible news which broke earlier in the evening, May God bless you your Majesty.
