Down like the stick

Rocket FM is all done for another year. Many thanks to all those who sent good wishes, my listeners, my guests and my producer Andy McBean. The response has been touching with folk being unfailingly kind.
I've been up in Surrey and Norfolk since, including an afternoon in the National Archives at Kew. Back to Canada on Tuesday to recover!

Half way through

Six shows in the can, six to go. Don't miss it all on Rocket FM on the internet. Please sign our guestbook - it makes it all worthwhile!
This week sees the big build-up to bonfire. I'm on Get Smart, 5-7, weekdays and will be providing the play-by-play commentary on bonfire night, this year on Saturday November 4th 18:00 to midnight.
Chaplain Clive Anderson is flying in from Toronto on Thursday and we're expecting Doug Chiasson on Air Canada. The bonfires at Newick and Firle were held successfully this last weekend and the excitement is building for the main event here in Lewes. Good luck to all the bonfire boys and girls and fraternal greetings to Conrad Bladey at the Baltimore Bonfire Society in the USA.

We're off to see the Rocket

I'll be on Rocket FM from this Friday 5-7. Don't forget to tune in here.

Circuit des Remparts

First news from brother Andy and pal Jack who have returned to the UK from a trip by Porsche 911 to Angoulême for the Circuit des Remparts. I am told the picture is a rare 1947 Cooper 500 cc racer, with sports-type bodywork. Didn't old Coopers feature Fiat parts?
