Spent last Thursday and Friday carol singing in Emmerdale,  Due to be aired in two episodes on Christmas day.  Note to self, must watch Emmerdale occasionally,  I was in the 'Church' surrounded by at least four of the main Cast, and I hadn't a clue as to their series names or their real names.

Yesterday I was involved filming a new quiz show in Media City, Manchester.  It will be on in January and is hosted by the delightful Claire Balding.  Other than that I am not allowed to say anything.  Look out for it, it will be entertaining.

Tomorrow I am going to Manchester to film a scene for "Shameless"  apparently to be shot in a Jazz club.  I'm looking forward to that,  I love Shameless,  and I understand this is to be the last series.  I shall have to get my fix from repeats.

Dumfries and Galloway

Just back from a few days away in Dumfries and Galloway,  South-West Scotland.  The area used to be known as Wigtownshire, but that was absorbed into larger areas as so many other small counties were.

We stayed just to the south of Newton Stewart, about half way between Dumfries and Stranraer.  A lovely area with lots of Hills, Rivers, coastline and Countryside.

On the only Sunny day we had we touched lucky and had a drive out to the area known as "The Rhinns of Galloway"  Visiting Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway lighthouse.  See Pictures below.
