My, I have been busy, it was the end of May when we went to the Great Central Railway weekend and I have to say we were a little disappointed as it was not as good as last year which had all the promise of going back to the old days where all the stations were taken over by different armies but it was not to be.
I was told they have got rid of the woman who used to organise the event apparently as they didn’t wish to pay for her services, I am unsure if this is the full story but I think by penny pinking they have spoilt what could have been a superb event.
Not to be downhearted Angella managed to do a little shopping and we met our friends as usual, so it was not all bad by any means.
Having a quick wonder about we bumped into Alan for a quick jive and a photo.
Last night dinner and with the aid of a waitress we snapped another rather dark image, let’s hope for an improvement for next year. At least all our friends usually come up to standard!
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
Am I seeing double, or have you posted twice? Such a pity that corporate greed should spoil an amazing event!
I have been so busy recently I have absolutely no idea if I have posted twice, I’m trying to catch up from over a month ago I think!
