Very sad to hear of Bernie's passing. I interviewed him on three occasions, including a live event at @ColesBooks in Bicester: each time he was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable and a true gentleman. And, of course, a great, great guitarist. RIP Bernie. Rockin' heaven down!

Thank you @helenamerriman for today's #BBCRadio4 programme featuring Poppy and her battles with #CRPS My wife suffered with CRPS after breaking her arm, fortunately she recovered well with #NHSPhysiotherapy although not back to full 100%. An inspiring programme.

Picked up this lovely collector's item today, a circa 1930s Erika typewriter commissioned by Karger Publishing in Basel. It's a wee on the rough side but has such a lovely feel. If only it could tell me its stories...

@SoundsClips Guessing the headline to the right is 'Beating About The Bush'? Good old Sounds, Kate and (almost) AC/DC in one headline...🤟😎#BeatingAroundTheBush
