My latest news!

I hope this post find everyone well.  We’re already in mid-April and so far this year I haven’t posted any updates on what I’m doing and my various projects which superficially might give the impression that I’m rather busy. Actually I am rather busy with my blog, writing and my tours.  I don’t know about… Continue reading My latest news!

Did Jesus Christ visit England?

This is Easter weekend and we in the U.K. are fortunate to have both the Friday and Monday as national public holidays reflecting the fact that until recent years, Easter was more important than Christmas and to actual Christians and the theology of Christianity itself, still is. So I had the time yesterday to spend… Continue reading Did Jesus Christ visit England?

Making Book Promo Videos

The more observant of you may have noticed this blog post is a day or two later than normal.  Partly this is because I’ve been a bit unwell and partly it is because I have been very busy making some book promotional videos. Book promotional videos are a relatively new tool in the authors ever… Continue reading Making Book Promo Videos

Writing For Television – My first TV script from 1996!

Yesterday whilst looking for something else on the internet, I came across a 20 year-old website that I had created.  It’s no longer live but had been archived away somewhere and I was amazed to find my very first television manuscript on the site.  This was rather fortuitous as the original files are on computers… Continue reading Writing For Television – My first TV script from 1996!

Not Now Bernard

In the 2.5 years that we have opened our house up on Airbnb, we have had the opportunity to meet a wide range of interesting people that we would never have the chance of meeting in everyday life.  From actors to heart surgeons and engineers to spiritualists and people as far away from London as… Continue reading Not Now Bernard

New Year, New Book – The Silence Fell

The Silence Fell

I don’t really set New Year Resolutions but 2014 seemed to be an ever increasingly good year both for my writing and for my guided tours business.  I spent much of the holiday period on mapping things out for the future; adding new tours to my official and partnered websites and thinking of ways to… Continue reading New Year, New Book – The Silence Fell

It’s that time again… 2014 blogging in review

This is now my third end of year report having been on WordPress for almost 2.5 years.  It’s been a long road, getting from there to here. Thank-you to everyone who reads my blog whether regularly or infrequently or those who simply visit once from a wild search on Google.  It seems I have the… Continue reading It’s that time again… 2014 blogging in review

Q & A with blogger, author and all round nice gal Ekaterina Botziou

A hilarious re-telling of the ancient Greek myths and legends with a touch of modern bling.

This weekend sees my birthday and as such I thought I’d do something a little different with blog to celebrate by spending some online time with one of my favourite bloggers, Ekaterina Botziou. Ekaterina isn’t your typical blogger and author and you may have already seen her before on television or the cinema without even… Continue reading Q & A with blogger, author and all round nice gal Ekaterina Botziou

The Christmas Truce and football match of 1914.

Whilst we are getting ready to enjoy or in some cases already enjoying our Christmas in 2014, it is worth remembering what was happening 100 years ago not so far from where I am writing today.  In what is perhaps one of the most inhuman situations in history a series of events played out that… Continue reading The Christmas Truce and football match of 1914.

The Box of Delights

Long before the world was gripped by the words "Winter is coming" we had the equally menacing "The Wolves are running"

30 years ago, I like many other young children and many an adult, was enthralled with The Box of Delights on BBC1.  It is a delightful telling of the classic story of the same name by John Masefield and is set in the 1930’s and tells the story of a 12 year old boy Kay Harker… Continue reading The Box of Delights
