A fantastic evening at Leeds Arena watching Prof Brian Cox. Started off with the Snowflake having six sides and delving into the atomic level of stuff. Second half about our journey into space via the Voyager and other probes. I can highly recommend his live tours.

Ever since I was a nipper I've been a lover of castles and the stories they reveal. Also a massive fan of Dan Jones and the way he writes about history. Two birds, one stone.

I've just finished reading this excellent book by @profbillmcguire.bsky.social It is one hell of an eye-opener on the climate crisis. A must read.

Why make a film about the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 and then pander to the bloody American cinema audience at the end? That shit final 5 minutes or so totally ruins what at the heart was a great film. I wouldn't mind but the folklore it is based on dates to 150 odd years (if not more) earlier.

Started out as one track cover of 'Everytime I'm Kissing You' ended up with a whole album. Recorded at Tony's coffee shop, Bloomfield Square in Otley. The cover of Jolene will drop your jaw, done using the old upright school piano upstairs it is truly a haunting and heartbreaking cover.

The James Herbert novel this is based on (The Shrine) is one of his best horror stories. Trust the Yanks to butcher it.

Chatting at work today about the Nonce Bonnet Brigade and their Reform/Restore ilk. I was reminded of a quote by the late Carl Sagan.

I've been a Duranie now for 45 years. I stuck with them even through their lean years. A great tribute to the guys to have Royal Mail produce stamp sets.

A local from Portsmouth posted this on Insta. The Nonce Bonnet brigade are truly thick as pigshit.

I've been waiting for the James Hunt collection to come out so I could order some goodies. The only trouble is Racing Spirit only delivers in Italy & Europe. Bloody brexiteer wankers.

This is the monument to Grace Darling at St. Aidan's Church. A daughter of a lighthouse keeper. She became a national figure when at 22 years of age she rowed out with her father in a coble boat in a violent storm to rescue 9 survivors of the SS Forfarshire in 1838. Awarded the Silver Medal by RNLI

I've had a lovely final wander around Pembrokeshire today. Carew Castle, Lamphey Bishop's Palace and the breathtakingly beautiful Barafundle Bay. It's safe to say I've fallen for the place. Going to miss it.

A busy day getting in as much as I can of South Wales before I head off home via Ludlow on Saturday. Today was Abergwili Steam Railway, Carmarthen Museum and Dinefwr Castle in the grounds of Newton House & Deer Park.

After a rainy start it brightened up around dinner time so headed out on foot to Pembroke Castle. Wow! What an amazing place. Spent a good 4 hours just wandering about. It rained for a quarter of an or so but being a Yorkshire lad, I'm used to it.

Nice day out at Kidwelly and Llansteffan Castles. The view from the top of one of the Towers at Kidwelly was stunning. Llansteffan is basically a husk, worth it for the views though.

Two reasons why this film is in my top three of all time. Swayze and Healey.
Dalton & Cody. Roadhouse. Patrick Swayze and Jeff Healey.

I saw the trailer for this the other week. Looks like a cracking film. The 1381 Peasant's Revolt. Historian Dan Jones was the historical consultant.
