So I was inspired recently by a couple of my favourite VLOGgers to start my own Podcast Journal... and here it is! Amazingly we have made it to Week 4 and we return to the earlier format!
This week I recount, from my memory, how I met my wonderful wife Morag. I wanted to share the story of how we met and got together so that our kids, and future generations have this memory of us. I then cover some of the other things we have been up to this week.
If you are interested in any of the places I mentioned this week, here are some useful links.
https://www.bkrailway.co.uk/ - The reason I ended up in Scotland, and place where our friendship blossomed!
https://www.theladeinn.com/ - The Pub where it all began on Date #1 with an adjacent Scottish Real Ale Shop!
https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/falkirk-wheel/ - A fascinating attraction I visited on my first trip to Bo'ness.

So I was inspired recently by a couple of my favourite VLOGgers to start my own Podcast Journal... and here it is! Although a little late published this week, here is episode 03 of my podcast Journey.
This week we take a slightly different route (a bit like London's Big Bus Tours, but more about that in the podcast) with no big question of the week. Instead we start with a little listener feedback, then I share with you a blow by blow account of a very busy week where we visit LONDON, the Capital of England, and home of so many wonderful places to visit and things to do!
