Our lovely climbing Clematis has died! Too much wind, rain, cold... Roll on summer. Next Sunday's episode is about making things. In the old days, people made cupboards, tables, sheds... they made and put up shelves... Now, it's all flat-pack chipboard. .

Cars back in the 50s and 60s were very different to today’s cars. Many were built like tanks, car radios and heaters came as optional extras, there were no seat belts… In this episode, I take a look at the cars of then and now.

Hi, welcome to my Midweek Message. Next Sunday's episode is about cars, amongst other things. Cars from the 50s 60s 70s... And, of course, today's cars. Plus, ballcock valves and stop cocks!

Common sense, what is it? Would you leap over a hedge, when you have no idea of what might be the other side? Join me for a fun look at common sense.

Hi, how are you? Keeping well, I hope. We woke up the other morning to a severe frost! The sunshine has been lovely but the nights have been very cold.

How things have changed over the decades! What’s in this year might be out next year. What goes round comes round. Miniskirts were all the rage in the 60s but they could be back next year. You never know!
