Dateline: Tuesday 21 September 2021

Hi today is a crisp late summer day here in North Devon and I have been out and about – it feels like autumn is just around the corner.

My car has now been serviced and MOT need and the bill will arrive with me soon.

So today I feel that I want to give you just a little insight regarding some of the work I do……

One of my earliest productions (Musical Director)

I am a therapist, life coach and musician on my own account 

But professionally.....

For many years I have been involved in the entertainment industry – playing in bands, broadcasting, and for the past 20 years or so I have been a senior member of a team in a company that provides theatrical drapes and backdrops plus lighting effects to the World’s entertainment industry

Working with this company has enabled me to experience places that I could only dream off as a child and meeting people that I have only been able to admire from afar.

However I still remember the words that my Dad said to me when I was a teenager and I had expressed my ambition to work in the world of entertainment

He came out with the following statement that made me even more determined to set my sights firmly on proving him wrong.....

He said:-

"Nobody ever made £1 million honestly working in the entertainment industry!"

As it turns out I have still to become a millionaire, but the company I work with is £1 million plus company, I have friends who are “stars“ in the entertainment world and I have been fortunate enough to visit places with my work, that dad could only ever have dreamed of!

So “yes dad!” people can (and do) make £1 million honestly in the entertainment industry!

But I love you all the same!

12/09/21 The Wise Bird….

Hi and welcome to today’s blog page. We are back home after a couple of nights in the caravan.  It has been a lovely weekend but sadly 2 nights are not really long enough.   ©️2021 wytchwynd photography Yesterday after a slow start in the morning we had to do battle with a problematic water system before heading off to Exeter for the afternoon.  That proved to be a tad expensive as I happened to say that I liked a wicker-style patio set that was on Special Offer in The Range.  Oh boy!   Guess who left the shop £140 poorer? On the plus side we had a lovely meal at Toby Carvery, Rydon Lane, Exeter (not a sponsored mention - but always happy to discuss) that was, as always, great value for money in an establishment that is clean, friendly and welcoming. After the meal we took a steady drive back to the caravan. This morning was a little fraught because I was feeling a wee bit tetchy over this on-going water issue but hopefully I will get something resolved this wee...
