Saw him in Pontefract once at a book signing. He was happy to chat to everyone.

I love Lindisfarne Castle.

Thank you. I always wondered what Swillington Tower looked like. If only the castle hadn’t been demolished.

I saw the hermitage when I worked at PGI in the early 80s. It’s a pity it isn’t accessible now.

Love that painting of Pontefract Castle. There’s a model of the castle in the town’s museum.

I live in the north of England (Yorkshire). Beautiful painting, and yes there’s always a cloud lurking.

Currently watching all episodes of Warship from 1973. The opening credits are brilliant.

I passed mine 49 years ago in an orange Ford Escort. My driving instructor also taught a certain journalist, TV presenter and now farmer.

The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley. Read it as a teenager. Very scary.
