I’m trading the “stocks and shares” of my regular work in investment banking this week, for “Stocks and Chairs”! .. as I take you for a trip around Christchurch along some of my favourite running routes.
We start at Christchurch Castle, built by the Normans in the 11th century and join me on the top of the “Motte” (a man made hill on which stands the ruins of the keep - see pic) as I survey the rooftops of the town.I avoid tomatoes and swedes, as we go past the old wooden Stocks. The chair is actually a “stool”, as we visit Christchurch’s Ducking Stool and tell you about the crimes that led to a Ducking in the past. One for the ladies!!
I also talk about Bob Wilson (Arsenal FC and BBC legend)’s book “Life in the Beautiful Game”. I met Bob last week and he recorded a message exclusively for YOU …the subscribers to this podcast. I talk about Burns Night, listen to a lone piper who I met in the High Street and discuss a Little sporting psychology. I also review “Slumdog Millionaire”. Its all on this weeks edition of 1 by 1.
Opening theme, courtesy of the podsafe music network at music.podshow.com is “Melody of Life” by the Fluid Boys. “A man’s a man for a’that” by Robert Burns was performed by Lionel McClellend (from YouTube). There is a brief snippet from the fabulous song “Paper Planes” by MIA which is on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.

On edition 3 of One by One, join me as the weather thaws a little here
in the south of England after the coldest December for many years
Training has been going well and the swimming sessions are starting to pay off
pay dividends, but still a long way to go!
I discuss my training, some “interesting” observations on front doors and light bulbs and the dormant vigor that
resides in all of us, so even if you are feeling like “January” right now, awaken your
inner “June”!!
I also discuss the new Kelownagurl podcast

Join me on Southbourne Beach at sunset in Winter and find out about the Christmas tree thats too big for the house, in a story of ambition and achieving the seemingly unachievable!

Complete my first Triathalon
Help add to the £70,000 we have already raised for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust through running Trailwalker the last couple of years

To be happy with whatever life throws
