Some, very, very sad news. The family dog Ghillie has died. He will be very, very much missed!! Thanks so much for a great 14 years xx
So glad I also filmed this video, so I can always remember him.
BBC Olympics HD coverage
So glad I have Freesat+ HD, means I will have 24 extra free HD channels, for the Olympics. The only down side, I can only record two channels at once. So making up my mind what to record is going to be hard work!!
Check out www.freesat.co.uk/bbc-olympics for more information.
Since the Olympics, is just over a week away. You still have time to buy yourself a Freesat HD box! Prices start at £70 for standard HD box or £165 for a Freesat+ HD box. You will of course need a working satellite dish. Check out www.freesat.co.uk/how-to/use-your-sky-dish for more information.

At long last I have gotten around to fixing the YouTube widget on this website. Just taken me a while since I could not work out why it was not working. But it’s working again and even better than before!

Vlog: RST Pro Series 1 Piece Leather Suit
Wearing my RST Pro Series 1 Piece Leather Suit in some local woods. I am bit hot, since I don’t have a motorcycle. The only way to get myself and leathers to woods was to cycle there.
