Opportunity Knocks… Again! From blogging to the small screen.

I’ve found that blogging has opened no end of doors for me whether it be writing books and articles, my tour company or being invited onto the radio or television however I must admit that I wasn’t expecting what happened last Friday morning when I routinely checked my email as I do working from home,… Continue reading Opportunity Knocks… Again! From blogging to the small screen.

So, we’re going on YouTube!

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. It doesn’t mean I’m stopping blogging, far from it but it is just… Continue reading So, we’re going on YouTube!

A Cute Salute At Windsor Castle

It’s not often if ever I post anything considered vaguely cute on my blog but having seen this yesterday, I thought it was too good not to share.

Venting spleen against the spammers

If like me, you probably get more spam than legitimate email. I’ve been on the internet since before the World Wide Web and I think I’m in the position to say that the quality of business spammers could be better. I remember when the sons of illegitimately deposed presidents and wives of deceased African… Continue reading Venting spleen against the spammers

Saint Christopher – The Patron Saint of Travellers

As many people enjoyed my post last week on the story of the man who tricked The Devil, I thought I would post another similar tale which I myself only learned last week. I was working on a tour and taking some wonderful people around the old Roman city of St. Albans. The city has… Continue reading Saint Christopher – The Patron Saint of Travellers

When playing a hunch leads to The Devil

I see a lot of amazing sights when I am driving around the country or indeed walking around London and giving tours to foreign visitors through my company, Ye Olde England Tours. No matter where I go or how familiar I am with the sights, it seems there is always something new to notice… Continue reading When playing a hunch leads to The Devil
