Edit Post ‹ vincetracy.com Blog — WordPress ...There´s a new blog and a new podcast. I hope you find them interesting. The weather is absolutely fantastic today. We have mountain to sea sunshine with a wonderful definition on the mountains and beautiful blue sea. The world really does look a different place. Butterflies are now beginning to appear and I am trying to remember which month of last year we had the major butterfly fly past. It went on for days ansd this location is obviously on their flight path. They came in thousands and were a novelty for our cat for the first few days.The novelty eventually wore off and he went back to chasing birds. Sadly to say he catches too many. We've had words but he's like the kids. He just ignores what we say. I've threatened him with a visit to0 the cattery. He's already had his testicles pruned and we cut down his treats but NO.

Wales First No1 Hit in UK

...There´s a new blog and a new podcast. I hope you find them interesting. It's an absolutely beautiful day here in Benidorm. We have wall to wall sunshine. Very well, mountain to sea sunshine and it is a very manageable 17 degrees. For those who have not yet visited the resort let me tell you we have a lot of mountains all around Benidorm and the skyscrapers are dwarfed by nature's majestic offering. It's Grand National day and the expat community will cast its eye towards Aintree. My own memories are of the shows I produced after Aintree. I had gone to the transcript recording of the race and every time a named horse fell I included it in my show. It took me hours and I was well out of pocket but I loved every minute of that experience. I interviewed Emlyn Hughes and Ray Clemence who were playing for Liverpool at the time, Judge Dread who had had several records in the charts and felt pretty good about the whole thing. On the BBC stand I spied a huge personality an...
