These articles contain my weekly diary entries, my bucket list, my food recipes & other things that I find interesting. Along with general information about the place that I live in, Los Alcazares, it also contains my often told stories of how I have met many 'celebrities' during my travels, memories of my past that sometimes come flooding back to me & the occasional joke or three.
I hope you enjoy reading about my interests & that if you disagree with some of my opinions in this section of my website, that it won't stop you buying me a beer when you see me next.

This week was most notable for the loss of my friend & neighbour Russ Morgan. His favourite saying was 'It's nice to be nice' & he was certainly a nice man. He was always available when I needed any help & kept all his friends laughing with his stories & tales of his adventures in the Dominican Republic last year. RIP Russ, you will be missed.
