    Mar 22 2026

    A short but sweet delve in to a book from my formative years......... dangerous enough then and nowadays would never get published in it's original form.

    So sit back and enjoy a 40's look at children's hobbies.

  • THE INTRODUCTION TO OUR DUROTRIGES SERIES
    Mar 8 2026

    Hi

    This is a brief introduction to the ancient tribe(s) that lived where we dwell now. The Romans called them the Durotriges and this is a brief timeline snapshot of the Rise and Fall and partial ressurection of that tribe. This will give you an indication of places we will visit later this year.

    The follow on podcast from this will be some of TRB's work in his more specialised field as a poet. This will be aired next wednesday.

  • TRB - The Runic Bard - a brief introduction
    Feb 1 2026

    Podcaster TRB gives us a brief but candid look at his life so far here in Dorset. I have known him since the mid nineties and to date it has been a priveledge to be classed as his friend. He is a published poet and I think it best if we leave the rest to him.

    Enjoy and comment!
