Haven't been to Napton for years. Rarely went when I lived in Southam. I still go back for work every now and then. Will be there Tuesday.

Always difficult as the nostalgia really gets to me.

On my evening walk through St Nicks in Warwick. There's some event on or other. Big stage. Probably some modern nonsense.

Anyway, this guy stopped me. Said he was from Sunderland and he liked my T.

Made my day

I was a nice lad, I wouldn't have done anything like that!

There is, Andrew. I only bought the normal single myself. Brilliant little tune.

I am, Andrew. Hope you are too.

Must apologise for lack of posts and interactions.

Must do better!

Two of my favourite ever records here.

In particular, Jackie Moore is spectacularly good.

Seek it out, you won't regret it.

Yeah, he moved to St Mary's Road.

There are a set of albums called The Sound Of Leamington Spa, which are worth seeking out.

Released when people started noticing just how many records were recorded at Woodbine.
