Blue Peter's last ever live show was yesterday. Amazing memories of appearing with my school class in 1969. The BP pets in the corner of the studio + Noakes pacing around trying to learn his lines — editor Biddy Baxter wouldn't allow autocue.

Spotted on a Facebook group which features images of old vehicles. Perhaps this unfortunate image sums up what local print/online journalism has become today. #Reach plc.
#Gloucester Docks 1974/75.

🎬 An enjoyable morning producing this pro bono community video as volunteers gathered to plant over 1,000 trees on land off Besford Road in Woodmancote / Cleeve Hill, #Gloucestershire

Reach plc weather articles never cease to amaze. Posted four hours apart ⬇️.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Johnnie Walker, one of my radio heroes. Honoured to meet him briefly in April 1989 on a boat on the Thames as BBC GLR celebrated the 25th anniversary of Radio Caroline.
📷 Gerry Burke, Mike Aherne, Johnnie Walker, Tommy Vance. Sadly all are no longer with us.

Just spotted a breaking news alert on my local Reach title. "What is this major story affecting Cheltenham?", I pondered.
Ah yes, it's about when the Coca Cola truck is going to Cribbs Causeway, 45 miles away.

Fantastic to watch #pickleball being played earlier at @eastglos.co.uk #Cheltenham. They've recently introduced the sport to complement their existing racket sports offering.
It's a sport for everyone, easy to learn and low impact, so it's easy on the joints!

Just made the mistake of trying to read an article on a Reach plc website on my phone (usually use an adblocker on my PC).
I'd forgotten how impossible it is.

📩 Pleased to have just published the weekly E-News for
@eastglos.co.uk #Cheltenham, as I have been doing for the past 23 years. Another packed edition with players of all ages on the road, competing in events.

A quick walk around the fields near home. Not quite a winter wonderland, but pleasant nonetheless.
📍Woodmancote, #Gloucestershire.

Everyone else seems to be posting nice images, so here's mine: Cleeve Hill, #Gloucestershire pictured from Woodmancote playing field.

Honoured to film the #Remembrance Service in Bishop's Cleeve, #Gloucestershire once again. A large turnout, as ever.
(Would have posted a short video clip but the size limit on here is only 50Mb).
