I remember seeing Gary Numan performing this on TOTP and thinking, Wow! It's probably the first time I'd heard electronic music. I still think it's a great song... youtu.be/BEop9nuTSrg?...

Good morning! On this day in 1962 The Beatles made their first tv appearance at Granada studios. They sang Love Me Do and Some Other Guy 🎵 This film is from The Cavern Club... youtu.be/LfgvoNvjRFY?...

I'm thinking about moving home. But there doesn't seem to be anything on the market worth buying in my price range! Now if only there was something like this at a knock down price!!! 🏡

My CADW membership pack has arrived. I'm really looking forward to visiting these historic places! 🏰

It's Roger Moore's birthday... I love this quote. It's like Mr Benn - Hunter. Shoot animals with a camera. Never a gun.

I fancy having a Bruce Springsteen night 🎸 Haven't played this 12" singles box set for a while! 😃

Some more amazing interiors from Castell Coch. Inherited by the 3rd Marquess of Bute, he employed architect William Burges to rebuild the castle and design the interiors. And what a fabulous job he did!!

Good morning! It's 100 years since the opening of my local park! This is a nice floral tribute 💐

I also visited Castell Coch on Saturday. A fairytale castle near Cardiff! Beautiful interiors, all decorated for Halloween 🎃

Couldn't resist having my photo taken with the great man! 😊

I've been painting over my living room fireplace. I think it looks really nice. A colour that's very easy on the eye 💚

There's a great Halloween shop in Caerphilly. Everything you need for the spooky night! 🤠🤡💀🎃

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble & Grubb were very helpful under the guidance of Captain Flack & the soldiers from Pippin Fort putting Windy's mill back up.

I saw these yesterday. I love the autumn when you see lots of different kinds of mushrooms!! 🍄

The famous leaning tower of Caerphilly Castle! Being held up by the 4th Marquis of Bute!!🤭

The Great Hall at Caerphilly Castle. Beautifully restored...

Caerphilly Castle has a wonderful setting, surrounded by a large moat. No fighting knights anymore, just serenity and water birds! 😊

I've come to Caerphilly this morning! It has an amazing castle!! Hope to see around it later 🙂

Today is World Mental Health Day. Having struggled with my own feelings of insecurity, I understand how difficult it can be. For anyone struggling with mental issues, always remember you are not alone. We hear your cry and are standing with you. Stay strong 🤗

I've been repotting my succulents. They've outgrown the pots they were in. At this rate my home is soon going to resemble Arizona!! Need to get more compost for the other two now!! 🌵

Trains and boats and planes...

A few photos of the glorious shades of autumn 🍁

Every year, on John Lennon's birthday, a light is left on through the night, at his house on Menlove Ave. Happy Heavenly Birthday John. You are much missed 🙏🏻

A couple of years ago, when I went walking in the Brecon Beacons, I came across this friendly sheep! 🐑

On my walk through the park today, I saw these flowers providing a splash of colour! I always look up through the tree branches, the patterns are wonderful! 🌳

This is another poem I had published. It's written in the rondeau style. When my grandmother died, and I saw her hand, that's when it hit me... that she was gone forever!

Heard this earlier. I love this song, it's so beautiful. Thought I'd share it... youtu.be/9kznTMxOsxo?...

All that's left in my garden now are berries. Apart from this one beautiful flower! So I've captured its image while I can 🌺

I bought these sweets recently 😉 They're supposed to calm you down if you have anxiety etc!! Totally legal! So far they've just sent me to sleep!! 💤 Think I'll stick to my glass of wine 🍷

I can't believe it was last October when I visited these places! The months are flying by... Concorde, at Bristol aerospace museum. Cyfarthfa Castle in Merthyr, with pumpkins! Somerset cricket ground in Taunton. A friendly cat outside Taunton museum.

Flora is sulking!! I've just given her a flea treatment and she's not happy! 😾 This will require lots of treats to regain her affection! 😄

With Halloween approaching, I enjoy watching horror films 🧛🏻 Classic Hammer horrors, Salem's Lot, The Fog, and the original Wolf Man are among my favourites, but I think the best of all is Hitchcock's Psycho. The acting, direction and script make it a truly great movie.

It was cold enough for a coat in Brecon. I like snuggling up in warm clothes, and the cold air gives you rosey cheeks!! 😊

I bought this today. I'm going to put it around the fireplace. It will look very autumnal and welcoming! 🍁

A scenic drive over the Brecon Beacons yesterday. Looking towards Pen y Fan mountain...

I took a walk up to the cathedral yesterday. It's very pretty around there 🌳

The river Usk, in Brecon, was very full today. It was so windy, as I was filming, the phone almost blew out of my hand!! 😯

It was so windy today even the biggest trees were swaying to and fro!!🍃

Around Brecon today...

I'm in a very blustery Brecon this morning!! It's a lot colder up here in the Beacons. Beautiful scenery though! 🙂

Tweeting about Savoy Truffle earlier, made me remember the Good News advert in the 70s. I couldn't find the video but I did find this on YouTube... youtu.be/HTVAm_u0QQE?...

On this day in 1968, The Beatles recorded 'Savoy Truffle'. It was apparently inspired by Eric Clapton's love of chocolate, especially Mackintosh's Good News!! youtu.be/z9EaBjFvQpc?...

This is the main road through my hometown. The trees along the roadside are looking fabulous! 💚🧡

I wrote this poem many years ago and was lucky to have it published. It's about the darling cats I've been lucky to share my life with. Sadly, now Jem has gone too, but I have Flora, and she is a sweetheart 🥰 #NationalPoetryDay

There are lots of birds on my local canal. They are always a delight to see! 🦆🦢

Here's some sunny seaside photos to brighten up your morning! 🌞 Tenby Poppet Sands Broadhaven South Aberporth, with a pirate flag 🏴‍☠️

These photos of Southerndown Beach show the wonderful cliffs that grace the South Wales coast. When I was small I loved to climb. When I was 3 years old my family were alerted when I was spotted half way up a cliff at Caswell Bay!! Happily I'm still here to tell the tale! 😄

Happy birthday to Julie Andrews, 90 today!! 🎂 This song always makes me smile 😊 youtu.be/UR4uLNFEauw?...

Good morning! 😊 I bought this yesterday. I love a blue bag and my last one had worn out. Summer or winter, it's the colour I use most 💙

Enjoying classic comedy this evening. There were some wonderful comedy series made in the 1970s. Fabulous cast, Prunella Scales superb as long suffering Sybil Fawlty. Marvellous! 😂
