Sooty Show on Cromer Pier, theatre in its purest form!

Rediscovering the glory of the Victorian novel with Wilkie Collins's 'Armadale'. Cracking read!

The Willows "Amidst Fiery Skies" folk album of the year. Look out Fairport!

@CEHOWLE I gain some comfort from that. Never really could do whizz stuff.o

Started reading Pratchett in 1990 after being given a book by A level students. Great day in my life. Sad loss to the genre.

@CEHOWLE Let me remind you that the only team wearing red who are worthy of support must be KTFC.

@CEHOWLE Yes I'm fine. Been visiting Kent places where we lived and taught in the 80s. Quite a strange experience.

Four trains to get to the Lake District, all ran late. Railways are rubbish!

Enjoying the Lake District. Seen a few cloud and some daffodils. Nothing to write home about.

'The Taxidermist's Daughter' an excellent read from Kate Mosse. A cross between Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins

Looking very glam at the Prom.

Stompin Dave Allen, what a fantastic performer! Appalachian sounds with a touch of Hendrix.
