For the final time this summer, the Waverley chugs past our gaff. It's deep thrum reminding us of the changing seasons.

Currently in Gloucestershire at the source of the Thames. Here's Mrs Whelk pointing to the precise spot where water emerges during moister times.

Just finished 'Fibber In The Heat ' by Miles Jupp. The perfect summer read. Funny, poignant and charming, it's not only about cricket but the sub-continent and a young man's impetuous dreams. Highly recommended.

Today is Roger McGuinn's 84th birthday. Not just the voice of The Byrds, but much much more. He's also the reason I bought a Rickenbacker 12 string.

On 20th Feb 1985 I went to see The Bangles play at The Marquee based solely on this photo I'd seen that day in the listings magazine Time Out. They were sensational. #TheBangles

As I'm sure everyone knows, the 16th Sept 1400 is the day that Owain Glyndwr declared himself 'Prince of Wales'. We visited the memorial to his daughter, Catrin, which is in St Swithin London Stone Church Garden just off Cannon Street. (BTW we are not Welsh, just seemed like a fun thing to do).

It only took 3 days to read the latest Poe and Tilly. I think it's MW Craven's best yet. Terrific read. Loved it.

It's 50 years since the Born To Run LP was released. The album cover on the right was taken off the wall display at the Hammersmith concert in 1975, the one on the left is our original copy. Just played it and it still sounds fresh and new.

Great reverb in this abandoned railway tunnel on the way to Keswick.

A lovely walk this afternoon on the old Keswick Railway Trail.

Canary Wharf tonight taken from my bedroom window. The sky is actually a deeper blue, but my camera phone is pretty crap.

I was at this Clash gig in St Albans, it was May 1977, and it was stupendous.

Now Playing: Bette Midler's second album. Picked up for a quid last week at a church sale in Egham that I happened to be passing. Chased down with a shot of very cold Aviation gin.

Had a lovely, nostalgic walk around Kensington High Street/Church St, invoking memories and stories from over 50 years ago, including the hairdressers where I heard 'Hunky Dory' for the first time. Ended up in a terrific pub called The Mall Tavern.
