Dear Lord, He’s Back!

Posted on November 5, 2020 by charliecountryboy

Everything was going swell (do you like that? A little word thrown in there for my american cousins) Anyaways, life was great. I rejoined the gym last Thursday and I’ve been doing cross-country in the dark on Wednesday evenings with … Continue reading →

My Last Time

Posted on October 29, 2020 by charliecountryboy

Nope, this isn’t one of those posts either, although it could have been in a hotel room😂. It’s been a funny old year. Last winter I trained hard, only to get one go at it and now I have to … Continue reading →

Yeah, like I’m really going to put that up here, although for those that are curious it was at the rear of Morrison’s supermarket by the bins. 😉 Oh! we had such class in the 70’s! Nope this is my … Continue reading →

Wild in the Country Day 2

Posted on October 23, 2020 by charliecountryboy

The majesty of the wilds encourages you to reconsider values. These rocks, these meadows, along the coastline, formed between 200 and 145 million years ago, are totally untouched by our present situation. They don’t care if we have a bad … Continue reading →

In The Wild Country (Day One)

Posted on October 12, 2020 by charliecountryboy

Some’at f’nowt

Posted on October 6, 2020 by charliecountryboy

Seaside, Smugglers, a Dragon or the Devil

Posted on September 19, 2020 by charliecountryboy

Posted on September 12, 2020 by charliecountryboy
