I’m delighted to say my wife has had a sudden change of heart and has now decided to brave the elements of social networking by allowing me to upload a photo from our weekend away at Riviera Swing.

Once again, thank you to all who made this weekend such a fabulous time for both of us.

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother who had dementia, hence the lack of acting work but shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
What a marvellously striking couple you look.
Thank you.
You both look fabulous. Also, I need your wife’s coat.
Thank you, it’s surprising how smart everyone looks when dressed in 40’s clothing. Unfortunately my wife needs her wrap too!
Wrap!! That’s the word I could not think of.
You still can’t have it, even if you know what it’s called!
You both look amazing. Tell your wife thank you for sharing with us. 🙂
Thank you, I will.
I have a big soft spot for Torquay, as you know, so I was thrilled to read your account of Riviera Swing, which sounds wonderful. I’m so glad that your wife agreed to have her photo published; please tell her that she looks stunning. I love her wrap.
Thank you I shall tell her, perhaps it might make her a little less reluctant to share her photo in future.
