I love Sunday. We’re a busy family and are always rushing round in the evening, but Sunday is roast dinner night and all of us around the kitchen table for the evening, I wouldn’t miss it.
Today's podcast has generated more emails than any podcast I've ever produced, it's great that the medium stimulates conversation.
Ah, thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it - I know Berwick well, I have family in Norham, where Laidlaw VC is buried.
Up bright and early tomorrow to head to Guildford and Anderton’s music to pick up a new bass guitar!
