The Ennoblement of Preposterous Tales!

Posted on December 21, 2017

I was walking my dog the other day when I bumped into an elderly woman who I see sporadically on the more hidden trails of Danebury and Longstock. A quirky lady, as wide as she is tall, she always has a good yarn to tell, never letting the truth get in the way of a good story. However, I have noticed that since the bizarre events surrounding the election of Donald Trump and the 2016 referendum in the UK, she has become more and more ...

Ashes Failure is Another Disaster For Participation in Cricket

Posted on December 18, 2017

If you don't know anything about cricket or are not interested, let me apologise for this blog.

This halts any ...

Dai & The Ramblers at The Hyde Tavern

Posted on December 7, 2017

It is always difficult to write a music blog as I am not a music critic working for MOJO or the NME but what I have liked doing over the last decade is listening to as much music as I can, rather than becoming entrenched in one genre like someone saying 'You can't beat a good pint of Fosters'. I first heard Dai and the Ramblers late one stormy night on Radio 6 whilst I was driving down the A303 and I was immediately hooked to the song ...
