Dateline:- Wednesday 10th August 2022

Hi, it's DAve (the wandering bard, itinerant photographer, husband, author and other interesting (well to me anyway) bits and pieces)!

I am well aware that the posts on this page have been spasmodic to say the least, in fact they have been practically non-existent this year!

That said, I have been busy with family stuff, photo work and also matters of the heart!

But now I feel that the time is now right for me to give everyone a heads up about the latest book I am working on. The cover of which is illustrated here:-

The content of this book is made up of snippets of conversations and other  moments from my experiences (over the last 25 or so years) during my work as an entertainment professional.

".... the Variety Club of Great Britain Awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, Park Lane, London........I mentioned that I was Musical Director of The Spotlight Theater Company and thanked him for his signed compliment slip wishing us all the best for our forthcoming production of Godspell." - David Essex

"My first encounter with George was during the time I was a Saturday assistant at the Warrington branch of Boots The Chemist Ltd.  It was around 1968......." - George Harrison (The Beatles)

"The question master was Barry Davies (the TV sports presenter) and he told me afterwards that he had had a feeling from the start that I was destined to be the winner." - Barry Davies MBE

These are just a few snippets from the book and although it will probably never be complete it is as up to date as it possibly can be (simply because of the way my work is....)  Who knows next week I could be spending time with more celebrities, famous faces!

So thank you for taking the time to read this post, have a fantastic week!

Be safe, be careful and above all remember

Don’t Predict The Future - CREATE It !

08/09/21 "Casing The Joint!"

Hi everyone it's DAve Thank you for joining me on today's blog post.   Today is Wednesday and I really hope that it is less hectic than yesterday.  After a full day at the office and with Alison confined to bed after a very disturbed night I had to go to Barnstaple after work and collect a replacement fridge, because the other one "bit the dust" Photo: "Three Suns"  ©2021 wytchphotog The photograph featured above almost got me into trouble........ I spotted the reflection of the sun in three different places at the same time and because it was an unusual sight I decided to capture the image - well people thought I was "casing the joint" and they threatened to "call the Police" until I explained what I was doing and showed them the image. Because of the water situation at the caravan we checked with Tina about her impending visit at the weekend and her response was a very definite "of course I am coming to our caravan, why wouldn'...

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...

OH MY DAYS - it is almost April !!!!! - where has that time gone?

Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on this page...............                                          I cannot believe that it is 4 (yes FOUR ) months since my last post on here.  That is so remiss of me and I can only apologise and start to rebuild the regularity as we go forwards. The calendar for this year is starting to fill up quite nicely which is good - we have Easter in early April followed by a wedding in Tavistock a couple of weeks later (sadly for me that actually clashes with an event I was going to be supporting (doing short coaching taster bytes) and because the bride is a long standing family friend I have no alternative but to attend. In addition I have been looking into different ways I can do something slightly different and as a result I have been writing some short stories (only 5 words) for example  "Alone in the darkness she wept!" or "Yester...
