Join Sally and I, as we take a trip 'up North' with Sal's mom and dad. 

Our ultimate destination is the Lake District but we also visit the market town of Skipton and the seaside town of Morecombe. 

A packed weekend and lots of fun!

One of the many privileges of working at QAC (Queen Alexandra College) is that I meet so many interesting people from all walks of life and from all over the world. 

This is an interview I recorded recently with Mohit Gupta, an 18 year old lad who is spending two months with us. 

Mohit is from Delhi in India.  Meri zindigi Mera Dash Ma is the title Mohit chose for this Podcast and translates from Hindi to English as My Life in my Country. 

Mohit talks about his life; Food; languages; his visual impairment and shares some of his favourite music. 

He was a joy to interview and Iâ??m sure you will enjoy hearing about his life in his country.

Join my dad, Sally and I as we go on a day out to the Severn Valley Country Park.

We walked about four miles and made some fantastic recordings along the

way including steam trains going along the Severn Valley Railway.

Join us on a day out to Weston-Super-Mare, one of the many stranger sounding place names in the UK.

Starting with a brief history of Weston read by Charles, one of AT&Tâ??s Naturally Sounding Voices; a chat and a mooch by the sea; a ride on an open top bus and finishing up in Weston town itself with its cafes; gift shops and much moreâ?¦ 

Parts of this recording were made in very windy conditions so, mind your ears!

As ever, enjoy!

 Join us, two people who know practically nothing about gardening, for a relaxing Summer afternoon (2005) at The Gardeners Weekend in Kings Heath Park in Birmingham UK.  Brass Bands; a French Market; craft stalls; donkey rides and even a few tips from experts about gardening, make for a great Soundseeing Tour.

   Join me as we take a boat trip up Loch Ness in search of the Loch Ness Monster. 

This is a recording I made a few years ago when my brothers and I took My dad to Scotland for his 60th Birthday.

Are the claims of sightings of the monster fact or fiction?  Does the monster really exist?  I don't know!  But The captain of the boat has some pretty expensive Sonar equipment and some compelling and interesting explanations and personal experiences to share with Us. 

Listen carefully and hear the convictions of some on the boat that â??there must be something out thereâ?? and the scepticism of others (mainly my brothers) That there certainly is not! 

As ever, Enjoy!

 Join us as we visit the city of Lichfield, about 20 miles north of Birmingham England.

We walk through the medieval city as well as hear the choir rehearsing in the cathedral (parts of the cathedral have stood for 800 years).

This audio gives you an idea of the majisty and Ambience of this remarkable place.
