Three weeks ago we went to Brooklands for the Relived weekend and took the old 1947 Bentley Mk VI and as usual didn’t got around to taking a photo of the car until we got home, just to prove it had ventured out of the garage.
We did however take advantage of getting our photos taken by Sian T photography in the rather lovely Barbara Cartland waiting room prior to having a drink in the Members bar.
I wore a jacket which I recently bought in a vintage clothes shop in Edinburgh when I went to pick up my recent Bentley Arnage, rather amazingly the jacket belonged to a member of 617 The Dambusters Squadron and came with history and whilst the owner Alexander Sinclair was not on the Dams raid he did take part in the raids to destroy the Turpitz, it seemed highly appropriate to wear it to the wartime base of Barnes Wallis.
To cap it all, Angella was dragged into the best dressed competition, something she is reluctant to do but the young man organising things was most insistent, resulting in a win as the best dressed overall. A nice drive home in the Bentley and a quick ‘ruby’ to finish off the day, what more could you ask?
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
