Thanks to those who have listened to the first Box Tunnel Pod and for your lovely words too. And of course to Hemming, my former Honolulu Heights housemate! There's a reason she just HAD to be my first guest!

St Barry’s Day
Tumblr media
Ships of William the Conqueror. Source: iStock photos
Today is St Barry’s Day. Barry (or Baruc) was a sixth century monk and lived and died on Glamorgan Island in South Glamorgan. He was buried there and his chapel became a place of pilgrimage but quite why, no one is certain. The island eventually became renamed as Barry Island in the saint’s honour, and is now the site of a large permanent funfair.
Today is also the day that the Norman and Gascon army of William the Conqueror disembarked at Pevensey Bay, Kent in 1066. William, Duke of Normandy had a vague claim to the English throne (he was the illegitimate son of Robert of Normandy who was cousin to King Edward the Confessor). The claim of the sitting tenant, and successor to Edward, King Harold Godwinson, was actually far weaker: there was no genealogical connection between Harold and Edward and his claim rested on the fact that he was allegedly promised the throne by the childless Edward on his deathbed. There is some irony in the fact that the English nobility supported Harold’s claim as a pre-eminent earl at Edward’s courts, despite his Scandinavian ancestry, while his rival William was a Norman, a descendant of the Vikings who had established the Duchy of Normandy a century before. Whoever was going to win the the upcoming battle, the huge influence of the Scandinavians on English politics was set to continue.

So Buddy and Ollie love this guy.
Wayne is a natural with dogs and provides a range of pet services (we are petsitters www.sollyandskips.co.uk but we always use him to look after our dogs when we go away).
Wayne first met Buddy when he was a tiny pupster and has walked him ever since. Recently Wayne has taken on Ollie walking duties too!
Wayne is friendly, reliable and goes the extra mile for the dogs in his care. These days Wayne mainly does walks (he became a dog daddy himself about a year ago which makes sits a bit more challenging). So if you want to ensure that your dog gets a walk whilst you are out at work, or you just want someone to pop in the animals are not trashing the place he can do it!
Wayne frequently has a sizable waiting list for his services but he's worth it!
