Welcome to today’s post I have 1st to apologise for missing yesterday’s (thanks to a rather upset tummy) Because of this we were unable to go to the caravan and sadly had to disappoint the friends we were supposed to be meeting there. That said today I feel a lot more like my normal self and have just come back from a walk around the pier and harbour in the sunshine. It is surprising that there is a high number of people around – the car parks are full, boats appear to be fully laden as they make their way out into the open ocean (or channel) The water is really calm and a beautiful shade of blue. The shops and restaurants along the harbour side appear to be doing a brisk trade as are the gift shops and all along the harbour you lungs are filled with the heady mix of sea air and the aroma of Fish and Chips.      oooOOOooo Thanks for being there and thank you for reading this post! Please check back again on Monday for the next update Have a great day, be safe be careful a...

Hi and thank you for joining me on today's blog post. It is Friday and later today I have a Zoom meeting with the fabulous Nicky Pattinson     As soon as that is finished I will be heading off to the caravan for the weekend. ©2010 wytchwynd photography The weekend is a meet up with our friends the Stewarts - them in their caravan and Alison and I in ours.    N o plans* made, it will simply be a weekend of what happens,  happens!  It is, however (because of a really weak internet connection at the site) very likely that I will not be able to get online to keep the blog updated.   If I do get the chance though the blog will be published on time as normal. *talking of plans it is amazing how quickly they can change - such as a phone call within 10 minutes of confirming an appointment to cancel the same appointment"   It is a fact that some people would become very upset by that but quite honestly what is the point? - If something has come u...

Hi and today is the 1st September - where on earth has that year gone? I don't know about you but it really does not feel that long since we were celebrating my birthday back in January! So today I feel like talking a little about my love of the entertainment industry.  I came into this life at a very early age and despite all of his efforts Dad did not win the battles. Quite the contrary - he often spoke with pride about the work that the company I am part of do and my role within that company.  He marvelled at the fact that the work we do transports people into a different world for a couple of hours. And as I head towards my 21st year as a full time participant in this world of magick and entertainment,  it still does not feel real! -  b u t t h e n a g a i n Is it real or is it all an illusion?  

Hi it's DAve Well after a really nice weekend the time has come to go back to work but thankfully it is only a four day week. Yesterday  as I was walking up to collect my car from where it had been parked all over the weekend.  I spotted this in a tree - lined avenue in Ilfracombe.  I don't know what other people think but I personally think it is a thing of beauty. ©2021 Wytchwynd Photography I was going to add something else today but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was.  So on that note I am going to say BFN (Bye For Now) and I will be back again soon. Have a great day, Be safe, be careful and above all DON'T PREDICT THE FUTURE - CREATE IT! DAve

I just got this post in during the morning - it is 1159 as I am writing it! If you have a relative (close or distant) who is at present in a Residential Care Home they are probably under a lockdown situation and their visits from family members are very much restricted. I came across a situation today that brought it home harder than ever..........a close family member is in one of these establishments and I have every reason to believe that he is receiving the best of care.   However the  home have  had a Social Distancing practice in place for some months now and that coupled with restricted visitor numbers has meant that my daughters have not been able to see their Grandad since January. They are finding this very hard to handle because they (rightly so) thing the world of him. So here is an urgent appeal to the Coronavirus / Covid 19 or whatever it is being called today and that is quite simply ....... DO ONE!

Hello from Sunday morning I felt positively ill after wearing a face mask for the first time yesterday.  It was uncomfortable, caused my glasses to steam up and fell off with amazing regularity.  With all due respect to the person who made it for me, this piece of PPE apparel was downright uncomfortable. I know that it is something that this Government insists we should do but unless something more effective is found or the decision is changed I will be avoiding shops like the plague. I recall that just a few short months ago the world health organisation (WHO) advised that face coverings such as masks were not overly effective in preventing the transfer of Covid 19 droplets. I now understand that decision has been amended????? I have personally spoken to people who have been spending sums in the region of £5 for a single face covering. With a little research I have now found a satisfactory alternative to trial for just £1.99. I will report on its usability late...
