Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog
Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.
WALMER CASTLE - THE LYDIAN STRING
Date: 23rd July 2010
WALMER CASTLE - THE LYDIAN STRING I don't often write my blog immediately after a great event but I've got a busy weekend and really do want to write this up whilst it's fresh in my mind. I'm ashamed to say that for seven years I've lived within easy walking distance of Walmer Castle and have never visited it. ... Read more...
FUTURE BLOGS
Date: 22nd July 2010
I've been so busy over the last fortnight I simply haven't had time to keep my blogs up to date. So, when I've got the time I'll continue the Florence trip, tell you about Rye in Sussex and also about my visit to the Musical 'Hair'. I must also catch up with photographs in the Gallery. They have to be... Read more...
CHANNEL FOUR - PARALYMPICS 2012
Date: 21st July 2010
CHANNEL FOUR - PARALYMPICS 2012 I had to go to London yesterday for a meeting with a producer at Channel 4 and my friend/agent Simon asked if I would stay on to attend the Press Launch of the Ch. 4 Paralympics.

GENOA - SACLA - AND ITALIAN FOOD
Date: 18th July 2010
GENOA- SACLA - AND ITALIAN FOOD What a fabulous couple of days I've just had with the Sacla people in Liguria and I am a total convert to Italian food. I don't think I've ever really had “Good and authentic” Italian food. In the UK one expects the ubiquitous pizza and then there are the meat... Read more...

BATTLE OF BRITAIN - 70TH ANNIVERSARY Where does one begin? This was my fourth year of attending the Battle of Britain Memorial Service and Lunch and, of course, this year was extra special it marking the 70th Anniversary of the commencement of the Battle which raged from 10th July through to 31st...

UNSOLICITED PHONE CALLS
Date: 6th July 2010
UNSOLICITED PHONE CALLS I am getting heartily sick of unsolicited phone calls, particularly as my phone number is Ex-directory. Today I received an automated call offering to sort out my Debt (I have none thank Goodness) and then a real person offering to sell me a hearing aid and yet another... Read more...
GREAT BRITISH WASTE MENU BANQUET
Date: 5th July 2010
GREAT BRITISH WASTE MANU BANQUET I was invited to attend this function which will be shown as a TV programme probably in the Autumn. The venue was the Great Hall at Lincoln's Inn - a staggeringly beautiful place. The Hall was originally built in 1489 but has been extensively renovated in 1625, 1652, 1706 and... Read more...
EDUCATION, ILLITERACY AND BAD TEACHERS
Date: 4th July 2010
EDUCATION, ILLITERACY AND BAD TEACHERS. Sorry I've been off the radar for a while but had a small operation and have been hors de combat for over a week. Anyway here goes - Catching up on the weekend papers (last weekend 26/27th June) I was interested but not surprised to read that Sir Mike Rake,... Read more...
