To my mind, this is one of the most beautiful autochromes ever taken: a study of artists on the banks of the Dordogne near Beaulieu in France. The light, colour & composition is a work of art in itself. It was taken in colour 98 years ago, in 1925, by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont.

The BBC Birmingham & Black Country car ready for me to report on Swansea v Walsall FC in 1990. It broke Stan Blandford’s run of games. S Wales avoided snow, the team went the night before & the game was one of very few played. We took BBC Radio Wales commentary. #snow #walsall #saddlers #football

Dublin. 2002. Hope it’s still there.

The Flash, Priorslee, Telford. #Telford #Shropshire #ice

It’s not often you can see the Welsh coast from Dublin but the visibility was excellent today.

First FA Cup meeting between Wolves and Blackburn since Wolves last won the Cup 65 years ago. Stan Cullis’ team won 3-0 on 7 May 1960 and the does have never met in the competition since. #wolves #blackburn #FACup

Please give Rob and Alan a listen. Inspiring stories and great choices of music. wcrfm.com from 6pm or on demand via Catch Up for two weeks.

What a heartbreaking story. One in 300 people isn’t really that rare for a condition that has had far too little attention or funding. #mnd #als bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Wolves v Everton wasn’t a classic but there was more than enough to suggest Vitor Pereira’s team will survive. They showed good spirit to come back from going a goal down against an in-form team & were well worth the point, even without Cunha. They should make it to safety.

This Tuesday at 18.00 I will be in conversation with Tim Beech on his show “Inside Tracks” on WCR FM - Local Radio for Wolverhampton Please listen in for a chat about Soul Music, Wolves, Demolition and Piano Music. facebook.com/share/p/18td1H…

If in the signal area please listen to Tim Beech show “Inside Tracks” on WCR FM - Local Radio for Wolverhampton tonight at 18.00. If out of the area please listen via their catch up link on the website after the show. I talk about Wolves, Soul Music, Piano players, and Demolition. facebook.com/share/p/18td1H…

Vitor Pereira’s done a wonderful job at Wolves. Some say it shows how bad a job Gary O’Neil was doing, but I think that’s profoundly unfair on Pereira. This was not a team of world beaters just waiting to be unleashed. This is survival based on astute management #wolves

📅 On this day, 137 years ago, the Football League was formed. These were the 12 founding clubs. 👀

Bit of justice there. Palace should already be winning against Aston Villa Great goal - even Anthony Taylor couldn’t find a reason to rule that one out. #facup

It’s not really true to say that Wolves have “nothing to play for.” Each EPL spot is worth around £3m and with Fosun very unlikely to splash much cash again this summer the difference between finishing 13th and 17th is a staggering £15m. That could make a huge difference.

Tuesday May 13th at 6pm I appear on the Inside Tracks show hosted by Tim Beech on WCR FM - Local Radio for Wolverhampton We discuss music from #Senser, #JimiHendrix, #GunsNRoses, #BOPS, #MachineHead, #nakedsunday, #Nirvana and of course @Weak13 #nickjtownsend #timbeach #wcrfm #wolverhampton #radio #wcr

Get yourself in the mood for Monday’s game at Wembley by listening to Darren Byfield relive Walsall’s last play-off final victory #Saddlers #UTS It features BBC Radio WM Sport’s coverage on that day in Cardiff with Richard Wilford, Tim Beech, Mike Taylor & Mick Kearns 📻⚽️

It’s pretty easy to follow the big teams in professional football. It’s harder to commit all that emotional energy & love to teams that are much smaller. So the loyal fans of Walsall FC deserve a wonderful day out at Wembley tomorrow. Come On You Saddlers! #walsall #saddlers

We all want road safety and flowing traffic but some variable speed limits do feel like over-management. We just joined the M42 Northbound from the M40 & there’ve been SEVEN changes of speed limit inside the first four miles. I’m unclear how this is helpful to anyone.
