Hi and welcome to today's post on my blog Over the years I have taken many photographs that have been shown in publications ranging from local newspapers, to galleries, books to magazines.

The Story Continues… We are now coming more up-to-date – as I said at the end of the last part I had set up CauldronFM   The station was created to provide a resource for those who followed a Pagan path both nationally and internationally, and also to be the platform for music created by Pagan artists. The shows also contained articles and discussions that were of interest to a Pagan audience. The establishing of this service proved popular, and soon it had att racted enquiries from fellow Pagans with regard to them joining the station as presenters. One of the potential candidates was a lady from America who goes by the name of Raven Moonshadow. At the time she was co-presenting a podcast called Pagan Moonbeams which was a service designed to introduce young people to the Pagan tradition The podcast had been running for some time and Raven was seeking a new challenge.  I auditioned her (merely a formality) and she joined the team. Raven and I worked together and she is a hig...

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.

Monday was our 46th Wedding Anniversary and so I asked Herself what She would like to do to celebrate the day.  The answer was "let's go to Dartmouth!" It is many years since we went there so I agreed that it would be very nice to do the trip. We drove the 104 miles from Ilfracombe, and when we got to Dartmouth it was mega - busy. and we managed to get a parking space on the quay but it was only for an hour (long enough to get a pasty and a coffee at the place shown above). We then travelled along the coast road to Plymouth (via Modbury) and covered another 30 miles.  Once in Plymouth we stopped at ASDA and had another cup of coffee and purchased some fuel, then we drove back to Ilfracombe (over Dartmoor) which was another 102 miles. So although we covered quite a few miles, it was a good day and it was lovely to spend some "us time".
