One week down 259 still to go
Well for me at least the first week of presenting the Good Afternoon Show has been completed. So to the end of our initial 5 year licence there are now only 259 weeks to go!!
Presenting in my view is the best part of being involved in Radio as you get the opportunity to talk to some great people. People who have a story to tell, who are really enthusiastic about what they are doing and who give you hope for our town and country.
This week I have talked to Peter Brown, Bournemouth’s Leisure Facilities Manager, Beryl Bye of Fit Lives, Vic King and Patricia Davis of the Westbourne Orchhestral Society and Amy Kemp and Nicolas ??? of the Volunteers Section of Dorset Police. Quite a mix , but all of whom have a real passion for what they are involved in.
So thank you to them all for giving me a real HOPE.
What are your passions ( clean ones only please!!). You never know you may get the opportunity to talk to me on the radio about them.

Guess I have to say my passion is helping people see how they spend time, to see if that’s really how they want to spend it!
But I’m very nervous of the word passion, which to me means out of control. I’ve often, in the past, spoken up for how other people are feeling and it’s got me into a lot of trouble! And, despite all wise words to the effect that one cannot possibly speak for how others are feeling, I recognise ‘heat of the moment’ when the opportunity comes to go where ‘angels fear to tread’ and air the viewpoint!
Anything unfair, unjust or plain stupid is up for grabs for being passionate about I think! Yet, I was at a talk this evening where it was claimed young people are likely to have bone problems in future due to calcium being leached to balance modern acidic drinking habits. That’s something to be passionate about, isn’t it, yet I need more to change my family!
