         Friday Update 

    (+ a cautionary note!)

Hi thank you for joining me and welcome to this latest peek into the crazy world I inhabit!


But first an introduction to me................ I am DAve!

Musician, poet, songwriter, photographer, life coach, author, husband, dad and (although I really do not like to admit it that because of the fact that I am getting older) a Grandad to Owen and Evie.

When I moved to N.Devon many years ago I had no plans for the future, I was working for myself and now all these years later I could not be much more settled if I tried.

The only real drawback with the move was that because the area is slightly economically depressed there is not a lot of call for my (paid for) coaching services.

However, that said, I still work in the entertainment industry that I love and that gives me my day to day living.

Right enough about me............... let us take a look that something else

A Cautionary Note (I do serious stuff here too you know!)

It has been announced that the DVLA have recently issued a warning to any driver who (like me) wears glasses.

If you are supposed to wear prescription glasses and you drive without them you are facing a fine of up to £1000 and 3 penalty points on your licence.  

If you are involved in an accident and you were not wearing your glasses you are most likely to have invalidated your insurance policy

So that said if you are due for an eye test or to renew your driving licence I would seriously recommend that you get your sight tested to ensure that you remain within the law and remember 

"don't drive without your glasses if you are supposed to wear them"

Look at me being all serious.....but then again lives are at risk with this one, it is a biggie.

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!

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...
