We went to Kelham Hall in April and due to circumstances beyond my control I am finally uploading some photos which were taken when we were there by the rather splendid Anna Marriage from Marriage Photography.
I have to say Angella came out particularly well, however as my agent used to say to me, ‘you have a very good character face’ which sounds good but actually means quirky and although not handsome it did earn me a fairly decent living for some many years, so I can’t complain.
Here are a selection of some of them.
Angella looking pensive
In this one I seem to be heavily back lit as if anointed by some heavenly glow, one has to wonder was I being called for some higher purpose?
I think this may be my version of looking lovingly into Angella’s eyes, either that or I’m laughing at one of my own jokes, which is entirely possible.
I’m not sure why Angella is clinging to my jacket in this photo, it’s not like I’m going anywhere.
This is a rather good one of our friends Jan and Steve and that pretty much sums up our visit to Kelham Hall, good fun meeting friends, shopping and a quick dance with Alan and Julie.
Same note to self as usual; must try to remember to take some photos of our own when we go out!
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. 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 and 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.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
The Diary of a Country Bumpkin 
Pity there is no female equivalent of Dapper because I’d like to describe Angella that way. As always, Joe, the two of you look amazing!
Thank you.
