Take a Hike (Facebook page)

Image
I like walking, a lot. Over the past few months, there have been three of us, having fun, walking around the fields, within miles of Banbury. There are some obvious places, but many people do not know about them as they are hidden. Natural beauty. Because images on Facebook are popular, i decided to combine walking with social media, its is called Take A Hike It is good exercise and three of us have been walking long distance for a couple of months. Sometimes there is an odd weekends that we do not, but weather has been very good so far. Part of this idea is to open a live photo album. Live? yes, while i am walking and upload, straight to.the Take A Hike page. People can then see where we are walking. The Longest Distance so far Walking long dustances, is best when it is not blazing hot. You can walk in blazing hot weather, but as i found out, when doing gardening work  it zaps you of energy pretty fast. Depends on the direction of the sun.  We walked ...

In November, i invited, Chris Oakes down to be a guest on the show. He was going a show on local charity station, Horton Radio, which is in the local hospital.  He had to stop his shows as the Bicester gig he now organises was on the same night. He organised night at the Jericho Tavern, Wheatsheaf, (Oxford), The Bell ( Bicester) and anywhere else he lands He popped up on Facebook one day and i happen to say " Why don't you join me?" And then, that was it After the first one, which i was pretty fun. We did one two weeks later, once a month. Chris is now joining me, once a month live on Music World Radio Chris has had many guests down on his show, although there was not much room, but managed.

There is always a glitch with moving, ugh The words, "This mission, if you choose to accept it" comes to mind Over the past few weeks i have been waiting to move in a flat i viewed..   You learn things pretty fast as you go through this process. There is a reason for estate agents and reason for renting through a private landlord. I would go through a private landlord any day of the week The problem i have come across with private landlord letting, is they are not easy to find. Estate agents are everywhere, but, of course, got to pay for the office they are in. This time, due to time constraints, i had to go through an estate agent. I knew this was not going to as straight forward as the first time. The first time, which was still an agent, but more personal. Only one fee, plus rent and deposit, no fuss. The second time, however, i was ready, well kind of.  I thought, go in, view, pay a few fees, gets keys, well, not that fast, unfortunately. Its not that the fees add...

A House?

At the moment I have now been living in a flat for the past 3 months. Its very nice, although would be nice to have some sort of outside green area.  When i first moved in, i didn't even thinking about it, as i just wanted to get out from under my parents feet at long last. It was well, well, well overdue.  After a while, i realised, having a green space, was what was missing. It depends where your flat is, but i find it funny that bedsits have a shared green area and flats don't, even though you pay more for a flat. That never registered before, until now. I am here until October 2014, which is when my contract runs out. I can either stay or move.  Moving is probably what i am going to do, if the next stage falls into place Moving A few issues have arose since i have been at the flat, that i really didn't notice, until a little while after. The rent is more than i thought. I never go over a certain amount, or i got it wrong to start with. The flat lets every bit of...
