It says ‘BHS’ but that doesn’t mean it’s a handout from the late, great ‘British Home Stores’. No, the letters stand for ‘Brow House Spirit’. More of that later.

What a delightful couple. All they need is a nice dog to look after, maybe they could call it Buzz.
Meanwhile, what books? They’ve written books?

Listen to MikeScantlebury – I don’t want to die in Tokyo on Official.fm
Blimery, I’ve been quiet recently. You might almost have believed I was dead. Well, no. Not me. Plenty of other people, though. Yes.

This is Woden’s Cave in Ordsall, Salford. It’s where hermits lived in the Middle Ages. Now that I am approaching middle age, I shall be retiring here tomorrow, after I have spoken to Alan Beswick on his Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Manchester at 8.45am and explained to him that my novel about electing a Mayor in Salford is finally finished and up on my website, http://www.Salford.me/

Here I am, on my flying lessons, with that other famous man.
(No, actually, it isn’t Barton Aerodrome in Salford. It’s nowhere near that, man. Nowhere, man.)
The point is that the middle guy is Prince William. At the moment he’s busy in the Falkland Islands, but in June he’ll be supporting the Olympic Games, here. (I know that, because it says so in my ebook ‘Hartliss Protector’, which you’ll find on Amazon’s Kindle shop.)

He’s not usually a wizard, but this is Mike on the Halloween Night that involved marching around the old St Ignatius church in Ordsall, Salford. (You know that Ignatius is the Patron Saint of luck, right?)
