The picture on the right it the entrance to Brimingham's Childrens Hospital.

Children from all over the country come to this hospital for specialist treatment. Ronald McDonald House provides a loving home from home for sixty-six families who have a child sick in the hospital. Let me play something to tell you more of the incredible work done at Ronald McDonald House in good old Brum.

Don't be shy - tell me about your car.

I'll be playing it on VINYL !  An original 7" single from The Avons.

Today. all morning I will be playing music in West Bletchley Community Centre's Charity Shop.

I'll not be playing vinyl there but using modern technology.

I am only using the modern kit as there isn't room in the shop for my full disco twin deck.I'll let you into a secret - the modern technology is easier to use !  Ooopppsss I never saiid that !

I will report on my adventures with music in the shop on tomorrow's blog.

To bring this edition to an end let me share a picture of a car I used to own. My Austin Maxi. In those days I used to service and maintain my own cars. The Maxi has twin carburetors, I never did manage to balance them properly.
