- MUSIC
- Music has kept me sane!
-
- Music is a personal thing but I still get a thrill from :-
- Rock/Popular
- Emerson,Lake and Palmer.
- Dire Straits
- The Who
-
- Classical
- Tchaikovsky
- Elgar
- Holst
-
- HI-FI
-
- I was one of those who spent money on various fads until I realised that most changes
just changed the sound picture slightly.I decided it would be better to spend my money on
buying recorded music and listening to it rather than having few recordings to choose
from.
-
- ANIMALS
-
- We used to have a pet dog and we have had an outcast cat which died.
- The dog was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Tina.
- I try to encourage wildlife to visit my garden and I have kept a couple of baby
hedgehogs over winter and released them in the spring.
-
- SPORT
- Swindon Town Football Club has been followed by my family and I stay interested in it.
- Professional football has changed for the worse especially since satellite TV has thrown
even more money at it.
