I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016. Since I retired it’s like a second childhood but with more expensive toys.

published by Ulysses Press and can be purchased from:
AMAZON UK
AMAZON USA
Gear that I use:
DJI Mini 3 Drone.
Iphone 15 Pro for camera, generally front facing so I can see myself in frame. Super quality especially if I keep the lens clean.

Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone
SE mini microphone to do voice over on computer
Video editing with Final Cut Pro X

I am a follower of the Bahá’i Faith and some of my philosophical ideas may show through in comments that I make, but, by and large, I’ll not make direct reference to my beliefs.

I play guitar and write songs and have written about 14 songs for the local BBC radio station. I run a weekly (weakly) evening Acoustic session at a local pub and have been doing so for 14 years now.
Much of the music I use on this channel is taken from epidemicsound.com free to use on Youtube for a reasonable monthly fee, and sometimes I suffer you with my own music.

Thanks John suppose there's one thing about riding the tow path its always on the level and flat.
I remember stumbling upon Corley Rocks a few years after we moved to North Warwickshire, and thinking "where on earth did they come from!" It's so unlike the surrounding geography 🙂
I loved this John. I'm 60yrs old, lived in Nuneaton all my life, often heard of Corley Rocks, but have never known where to find them, until this. I now know where to look. Thank you, Dave x
Police were there a few years ago looking for a body they believe is buried around that area! Was in the coventry telegraph some years back!
Don't know if you've ever seen it John but if you carry on up towards Tamworth Rd, just before the right turn there's a profile in the rock face that looks like a witches face
We used to play there as kids.
The name Burrow Hill, come from the fact that there was an Iron age fort just above the rocks, some even say it could be Roman later too.
I used to come there often, as I worked for 14 years at Littlehurst Nurseries at the end of Burrow Hill Lane
