Doddy Weir & Rob Wainwright were great mates. Rob does so much to support Doddy's foundation to find a cure for mnd. Rob sent me this extremely poignant video. If you can spare any cash: www.justgiving.com/page/fivehea...

Thank you for all your replies. This afternoon I had a long walk in the sunshine listening to music. I hope you are all having a lovely evening.

How are you? I find it extremely difficult to see the bright side of life when there are so many bad things going on. If you feel like me, I find going for a walk, reading a book & talking to friends a really healthy thing to do in times of trouble.

About time I had a complimentary PT session. The last guy was so rude! We all need a compliment sometimes...

My boys like to leave some friends to look out for them while they're at school. Today it's Cockatoo & Bunny...

Listening to Mazzy Star earlier reminded me of a Fabulous Fancy Dress Adventure... I went to see them at The Astoria. Everyone was wearing black... Except me!! I was in full white cricket kit!! My game ended late! The band thought it was hilarious & I got a backstage invite.

Can anyone tell me what the choral music is please? Thank you...

Just watched the Italy v England rugby match. A Fabulous game. Italy are building a good side. I think it is very good for The 6 Nations that anyone can beat anyone.

This is what Rik Mayall wrote in my book. The man was a proper genius & I miss his humour every day.

Good Morning!!

Ahem... World Book Day.

What a Fabulous game of cricket. England just couldn't get over the line, but what a run chase. I had the privilege of commentating on Jacob Bethell at a Bunbury Cricket festival and it was obvious he would have a great career.

England didn't take my advice about Samson. I told them the only way they'd get him out for a low score is if they cut his hair off!!

St Mary's Church looking Fabulous in the sunshine.

Alexander Graham Bell was born 179 years ago today. I love the idea of him getting his mates together round a table, then putting a box on it. What is it'? They ask. 'A phone' he says. 'What are you going to use it for'? They ask. 'Dont know' he says, 'I've only got one'!

Why is it that whenever there is a del Amitri tour, I'm always the last to know..?

Next they'll ban e-lephants!

Happy St Davids Day to all my Welsh friends, especially Jones the Steam...

If you're feeling a bit anxious about recent events, hopefully these tropical fish with calm music will help bring some calm.

A Pinch & A Punch for the first day of the month. Rabbits & Hares. White Rabbits. Whatever you say, have a Fabulous day! Welcome to March. Spring is on the way!!

Neil Sedaka. Musical Genius. Wrote so many classic tunes. Here's one... RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic. youtube.com/watch?v=qMxi...

There is an old saying... Roll with the punches. I've had good news & bad news today. Hoping the good news outweighs the bad news, but only time will tell. How was your day?

As it was 55 years since Mr Benn was first shown on tv, I rang the original editor Clive Juster. He asked me to pass on his very best wishes to you all.

Shown for the first time on this day in 1971... Here is Mr Benn Red Knight: www.dailymotion.com/video/x9s80ag

Mr Benn made his television debut 55 years ago today. The first adventure was Red Knight. Thanks to @braxtm.bsky.social for the picture.

This was my Switzerland Adventure. St Moritz is a Fabulous place. It's always nice to play music, especially at a cricket tournament up a mountain! If you are planning a charity cricket match, please get in touch: music4cricket.co.uk

Someone just came up to me and said: 'Do you have the time boss'? Quick as a flash I replied: 'Do I look like Bruce Springsteen'?

Kenneth Williams would have been 100 yesterday. He had a Fabulous voice & was great in Willo the Wisp: youtu.be/dZlt3CmUgNo?...

It was lovely & sunny in Festive Road. I even saw some dafs in the park. Fabulous colours...

Today's adventure took me to The Headington Shark. Things like this make me happy.

I forgot JJ Burnels birthday... The man is a Legend.

What a great game of rugby in Cardiff. Great to see Wales play well, but extremely happy with a Scottish win. Call me Mr McBenn!!

This morning I put some bread under the grill, then I made a speech. I toasted it!!

Flying over London...

I know lots about football. I remember when Liverpool were called Crown Paints.

My flight back into Heathrow took me over Craven Cottage, home of Fulham FC ... Festive Road is on the other side of The Thames from here.

Preparing the wicket: Cricket On Ice, St Moritz, 2026.

Whoops! Does anyone know how to get pancake batter off a ceiling?

Time to get pancake tossing...

I have just been driven over the Julier Pass in Switzerland... It was a Fabulous adventure...

Robert Duvall was one of my favourite actors. He was in so many classic films. Tonight I'll watch The Outfit, followed by Falling Down. RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.

St Moritz has some Fabulous mountains...

This is what cricket on ice looks like. It's a lot of fun!!

A chip pizza anyone? Anyone?

I am in St Moritz to play music for Cricket On Ice. I'm always happy to support a great charity & @RuthStraussFdn does a lot of great things. This one was a freebie!! Cricket on ice is Fabulous fun!!

Didn't expect this first thing this morning!!

This is a map of the Swiss Alps. It's on all the train tables. It's all now a Unesco World Heritage site. I haven't been here for 20 years!!

Bumpy landing in Zurich. Now on a train heading to some mountains...

An early start to my adventure...
