Sooooo, I’ve spent the last day or so creating two YouTube channels as it seems to be the way the world is going. Unlike some channels, hopefully I can put up some videos of interest and perhaps even a little merit.

Found! The Lost Welsh City Of Trellech
Many people have their heroes, people that they might want to imitate. Maybe a film star, entrepreneur or scientist.

Mass Shootings in the USA are not news, it’s a chosen way of life
It’s not often that I write anything that even vaguely touches on an opinion piece but following the news of the latest in the endless stream of mass-shootings, let alone individual shootings then I thought now would be as good a time as any.
