I am a man with many hats and outfits, having adventures everywhere... I admire the bowler hatted man from 52 Festive Road.
When I was a youngster, I saw Jimmy Cricket on tv and followed his career. What a funny man he was. Proper family entertainment. So sad that he's left us. RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.
If you like cricket, and are looking for an adventure this week, come to Wormsley in Buckinghamshire to see The MCC play Holland. There is a T20 tomorrow at 2pm, a 50 over game on Wednesday at 11, and a T20 on Thursday at 11. I am doing music & commentary etc. Come & say hello.
Blimey! What a match! 6 to win, one ball left... Windy Miller on strike hit a 6!! He said he saw 4 balls through the cider fog, and managed to hit one!! Congratulations Camberwick Green!!

Windy Miller wanted his old friend Colonel Sanders to play in the cricket match because the Colonel is finger clicking good!!
The Trumpton v Camberwick Green annual cricket match is called The Tea 20. Everyone loves their cricket tea, and Mrs Honeyman has made lots of cakes with the help of Mrs Dingle, Miss Lovelace & Sargeant Major Grout.
A Pinch & A Punch for the first day of the month. Rabbits & Hares. White Rabbits. Whatever you say, have a Fabulous Day!! Welcome to August...
The other umpire for tomorrow's Camberwick Green v Trumpton cricket match is Roobarb. He always takes great pleasure when he gives someone out!!
The Mayor of Trumpton is umpiring the annual Trumpton v Camberwick Green cricket match tomorrow. He loves giving no balls!!
Scotland is Fabulous. For breakfast every morning I had poached eggs... Till the farmer caught me!!
Next to Smiddy Bridge, Stronmilchan, Dalmally is the war memorial. As the sun was going down, I paid my respects to the locals lost in the wars.
Smiddy Bridge, Stonmilchan, Dalmally. Very very beautiful. I am loving my Scottish Adventure!!
Another legend from our childhood has left us. But there was so much more to Bill Oddie than childrens tv. He did so many other Fabulous things, and his nature shows have changed the way we look at the world around us. RIP Sir. Thank you for the magic.
A view over Loch Awe & Duncan Ban's monument. So peaceful here...
The train leaving Dalmally station on the way to Oban. The West Highland Line is one of the most beautiful railway lines in the world.
At the top of the Rest & Be Thankful, you go round the corner, and this is the view... This was 6.30 this morning.
If you're heading to Scotland, make sure you go to The Highlands. The road on the left is called 'The Rest & Be Thankful' after the horses that pulled the carts up the long hill. Jackie Stewart told me there was a very popular hillclimb event there too.
Heading off on an adventure. Just about to drive 500 miles...
I did some events with Kevin Keegan. He was a lovely man. Extremely down to earth, very amusing, extremely likeable and wanted to make every event the best it could be. He will be greatly missed. RIP Sir. Thank you for the Magic.
Windy's dancing along... Cider flaggon in one hand & mug in the other. When I say dancing, it's more of a drunken stumble!!
After watching the build up, Windy Miller has started his hydration break early!!
I see there is a no fly zone around the stadium for the World Cup Final. Good Luck with that. I do my best to enforce a no fly zone at 52 Festive Road. I use this:
