Hottest Day On Record - Ramble By The River

So I decided to go for a walk on the hottest day of the year & the hottest day on record in the UK...

It’s Not You - It’s Me! 😉😂👍

“Sorry I haven’t called darling. I’ve been busy. What with work, going to the gym, watching TV - there’s never been a spare moment. But I promise I’ll make it up to you - and it’ll never happen again” 😉😂👍

Shortest Podcast Ever!

I had been getting many messages through various different social media channels asking me when I was coming back with more fun travel podcasts. The answer to that is - “Sometimes soon”. But here’s a slice of my sexy voice until then ❤️🤗....

Machu Picchu 2001 - An Adventure

Back in 2001 I got involved in a charity called SCOPE and ended up on a 5 day/4 night trek up the Andes Mountains in Peru to the sacred Inca temple city of Machu Picchu. This 1:42:35s podcast - that's right - one hour and forty two minutes takes you through the whole adventure. It's in three parts:

• Part One - (20 minutes) - All about how I got involved with Scope and how I ended up in Peru.
• Part Two - (36 minutes) - Cusco & coca leaves. 
• Part Three - (46 minutes) - The Trek. Camps, hiking, Machu Picchu, hints and tips - and oodles to great stories and audio content from the trip itself.

If you haven't done this trek yet - do it now. If you have done this trek - I hope you've found this podcast brought back memories and made you smile.

Great American Adventure 1988 - Part Two

So I arrived in Los Angeles after three long days on a Greyhound Bus. What a journey that was! (You'll have to go back to Part One to listen about that). 

Now it was time to experience the Land Of Fruit & Nuts - sunny California and all it had to offer.
What happens in this show? I changed my name once (nearly twice!), almost get ripped to pieces, and find myself in the Beverly Hills Yacht Club!

Down By The River Thames.. or As I Walked Out One Mid Winter’s Afternoon

Down By The River Thames - Not quite Laurie Lee style, more like jolly hiker mode - I set off for a brisk walk on this sprightly winter’s afternoon. Little did I know just how COLD (!) it was out there. Equally - I ran out of battery on my phone as well - unheard-of I know - but it really happened.

So I could have edited this and stuck a “proper” ending on this - but I didn’t. I want all my shows to be as natural as possible.

So as much as it was a surprise to me that my phone suddenly died on me - it will equally be a surprise for you when I suddenly stop talking and it’s the end of the show ... a kind of “Podcast Musical Chairs” 😀👍

Stamford, Lincolnshire, England - Winter 2016 - The Audio From A Facebook Livefeed Video

Everyone was talking about doing podcasts on YouTube and saving the audio and blah, blah, blah. And I thought - "Wait a minute - I've got loads of Facebook Livefeed videos where I'm just wandering around describing things. They'd make cool little podcasts?!"

So, this is the first one from a business trip to a small market town called Stamford up in the county of Lincolnshire, England back in the Winter of 2016.

The "back story" behind this is that I'd just finished dinner in my hotel, and I went out to find a shop to purchase a bottle of water (at a much cheaper price than in the hotel). I also wanted to get out and discover the town. As it happens... well... you'll listen to what happens.

Note: Throughout the audio you you'll hear me pause and then answer someone or make a comment to someone - that's me reading the comments on my iPhone from people who were viewing the live video.

This podcast also hails the introduction of my new rebranded intro and intro - "WRF".
Please go over to my website and leave a comment there: https://wrf-podcast.blogspot.com/ - let me know what you think. And thanks for listening :)

Dreams - I Love Dreaming - How About You?

Dreams - As Bill Shakespeare once said:

 “We are such stuff

As dreams are made on, and our little life

Is rounded with a sleep.”

So I wanted to talk about dreams. About my dreams. And the whole concept of dreaming. We spend a third of our life in bed - generally asleep. What a wholly useless waste of time. I’m so glad for my Dream Land.
