Just been watching I think one of the best reality challenge shows on TV, โMichelle Rouxโs Serviceโ which has had a welcome re run during the past few weeks. If the BBC had any sense, they would commission a second outing.
It has been the busiest couple of months ever, trying to combine the referendum coverage with developing the publishing business, continuing my radio activities, which included a great week of shows for the โMore Music Radio Fiesta Weekend,โ and almost two weeks ago, we had one of the most enjoyable weekends at Scarborough at the 2014 Butlins Reunion. AND NOW RELAX !!!!!!

Heartache and devastation through the loss of a loved one, is part of life that we have to deal with, as it is all going to happen to us all one day.

Anyone privileged to wear the Butlins Redcoat Uniform and who made an impression on holidaymakers during their stay, so much so, that they are talked about decades later, had to have something special. Gerry Griffin possessed all of those qualities โ and a lot more.
I still have memories of my school days especially in my English class. I wonder what would they say when almost 30 years on, I am about to embark on a Creative Writing Course. Just doing long sentences without having to rely on a spell check on my PC was about as far as my creativity would go.
