I recently hosted the Summer Walk for Hospiscare at Darts Farm. The weather was a bit of a challenge (hence the footwear) but the participants were in great spirits and 10's of thousands of pounds (£) were raised for this vital charity.

I’m genuinely gutted about the passing of Steve Wright. I grew up listening to him and he definitely inspired me to become a radio presenter 📻

I got to be a member of Paul Hopper’s possé at BBC Devon back in the early 90’s on his show Out Of Order. It felt like being part of Steve’s possé to me.

RIP Steve 😢

It's that time of year again where I share this video starring Benjamin, STILLYANO and myself making absolute t**s of ourselves...

Apparently, we made this SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, 16?

I remember the day we made the video well. And yes, I was doing Movember, hence the slightly out-of-place moustache.

Gemini FM's very own christmas song "It's All So Christmas" performed by Stillyano featuring Gemini FM's Matt and Charlie.The single is now available to down...

Alright friends…

Men's Health Week starts tomorrow, and I'm kicking it off with a driving experience at Land Rover Westcountry (near Honiton).

It all kicks off at 5pm, it's £55 per head (normally it's £150) and should be a good challenge and great fun too.

There are 3 or 4 spaces left if anyone can make it, please book yourself in today so we can finalise numbers -

Come and Drive a Land Rover through some of the toughest terrain around.

Just to keep you guys in the loop, here's what I'm up to this February. A fortnight of free journaling prompts...!

Please excuse my absence from this page, I've been working on some very important things.... namely, THIS BELOW!

I've launched my 'How to Journal'. I'm delighted to say that despite my best attempts at procrastination and time wasting, I've completed it and it is now 'LIVE'.

https://www.thejournalingguy.com/

It's a video training course and takes you through all the steps, from beginning to end, of how to journal.

There are 4 frameworks in there for you to use, and a whole host of downloads to go with the course as well.

I'm really excited about this course as I really believe in the power of journaling to help with our mental wellbeing; I know it's been a life-changer for me.

Learn everything there is to know about journaling, in this simple how to journal course, from Who Needs Instructions.

This is probably the quickest way of letting everyone know where I’ll be for the next 10 days… at home!!!

I picked a bad time to cancel my Sky Sports & Prime subscriptions, didn’t I?

My radio family ❤️

We held a Radiothon last Wednesday and raised over £3k for a couple of brilliant charities 💷💷💷

It was a special day. I got to spend time with people I genuinely care about and LOVE working with 📻 🎧 🎙

I’m a sucker for a sea view sunset, and Cornwall offers them up in abundance 🙏🏼

Followed by dinner at Lewinnick Lodge, a Cornish tradition for us. Always superb!

The Pandemic changed me!

I'm sure it gave a lot of you time to rethink all kinds of things in your life... relationships, your career and possibly yourself too.

I've changed, but I'm still me.
I've tried lots of new things.
Some I have adopted.
Some I'm never doing again.

I've been having lots of conversations with people recently about changing and it's nothing for us to be afraid of or even ashamed of... it's growth.

TRY NEW THINGS!

I journal.
I meditate.
I swim.
I practice mindfulness.

BUT....

I still work hard.
I still play golf.
I still love football.
I still like a drink.
I still eat bad food occasionally.
I'm still a bit of an arse... I'm just an arse who looks after himself better and feels so much better for it.

TRY NEW THINGS!

Remember, by looking after yourself you can be better for everyone around you... at home, at work and with friends.

Adopt the things that make you happier or make you feel better but if you don't like them, just don't do them again.

I'm fundamentally the same person I was before... just happier.

TRY NEW THINGS...!

What a wonderful start to the day…

I can highly recommend this. The 3.45am alarm call WAS worth it.

The temperature up there was perfect, the wind light, the company was great (thanks Bez), the sheep and the ponies were friendly and the scenery speaks for itself 😮

Haytor gives you a full 360 experience but I was focused Eastward this morning.

The Matriarch of our family and her successor… my Mum and my Sister.

It was so wonderful to hang out with them over the last few days. I showed them the sites and sounds of Devon and they’re now heading home to Lincolnshire… wishing they both lived in Devon.

“Love you both, see you again very soon".

There are very few things in life better than a decent cream tea. And this cream tea from was double decent.

I’ll be back to test more of their menu, as well as the wine and the cocktails too 🍹
