It was lovely to attend an event in the Forest of Dean this afternoon - the launch of the HLF project for @readingthefod at @The_DHC. I’ve worked with @JASONRADIO & @RogerintheFoD for many years on radio series about Forest literary heritage & look forward to more collaborations!

I am thrilled that Abu Dhabi have won their first big European trophy after all those years in the footballing wilderness. Heartwarming. And global warming

Last year I made a radio feature about Bilson Mission in Cinderford & the @voicesfromfod project to collect memories. The chapel has since gone but I recently went to a film launch & recorded stories of some who feature: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0f48k… (3 parts from 2hrs, 12m in)
