I am a man with many hats and outfits, having adventures everywhere... I admire the bowler hatted man from 52 Festive Road.

Message from The Wombles:
'Anyone lost a wind mill?
We found one while we were tidying Wimbledon Common after the storm'!

We have lost some incredible ladies recently.
It makes me very sad, but what Fabulous lives they had.

'While my mill is 'missing' I'm using my time very wisely!
Cheers to you'!!

Has anyone seen my wind mill?
It took off in the storm last night.
If it's in your garden - let me know.

Today I went for brunch at Cecconi at Biscester Village and they had two Fabulous chandaliers.
Amazing what you see when you look up!!

I'm Mr Benn, the man in the hat.
I've been away, now I'm back.
All my suits are from Savile Row.
All my hats are from Lock & Co.

On a Scottish adventure many years ago, I met a singer.
He was called Aitch, from Stepps.
It's alright, I've got my coat on...

Here you go...
Probably the last time David drew Mr Benn.
It's a treasured souvenir.

Bet you they can't do a Mr Benn in with a circus mirror to make him look fat; can they?

Finally, after many years, this vending machine agrees with us!
£4.50 for a Twix?
Yes... Totally out of order!!

Apparently there is a new Amazon advert where they deliver to Festive Road.
Have you seen it?
Mr Benn is all about the small independent shopkeeper.
Amazon are responsible for closing thousands of these shops, so I find it incredible they are using Mr Benn for publicity.

I have just spent the weekend running the music stage at a food frestival.
I chose all the acts & did all the production.
It was Fabulous fun & a real joy to work with loads of extremely talented musicians.
I am so lucky to do what I do.

If you are looking for an adventure this weekend, come to the Thame Food Festival.
It's always Fabulous fun.
I am running the music stage.
Come and say hello!!

This time last week I was at Ray Brooks memorial service.
I feel very lucky to have known him.
Here he is with Mr Benn outside his favourite pub in Kew.

Dickie Bird was a legend.
He cared massively about cricket, and had a great sense of humour too.
I'm sure he'll already be umpiring upstairs...
RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.
