Adavale Resources Ltd (ASX:ADD) executive chairman and CEO Allan Ritchie talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress at its Parkes Project, following a busy quarter of reconnaissance and exploration work in New South Wales' Lachlan Fold Belt. Adavale Resources, a junior gold and copper explorer, completed the acquisition of the Parkes Project three months ago. Since then, the company has undertaken seven site visits, completed extensive geochemical surveys, validated historic rock chip assays, and delivered a maiden JORC resource estimate at the London-Victoria license. “We've been moving very quickly. We've got great relationships with landholders. We're moving swiftly but systematically,” Ritchie said. The company highlighted a standout result of 22.2 grams per tonne gold from recent rock chip assays at Parkvale South, describing it as a key priority target. Parkvale South lies within one of four licenses at the project, and the team continues to test historic prospects across the broader tenement area. Ritchie also discussed near-term plans, including announcing an exploration target and beginning maiden drilling across other prospects, particularly Ashes Myalls and Parkvale. The company expects continuous news flow in the coming months as it advances further work, including potential resource extensions. Beyond gold and copper, Adavale holds uranium interests in South Australia and nickel sulfide assets in Tanzania, although its current focus remains firmly on the Australian gold and copper opportunity.

On the afternoon of 23 March 1988, Deborah Linsley was murdered on a train between Petts Wood and London Victoria stations in Greater London. Although there were about 70 people on the train, and Linsley apparently fought and injured her attacker, only one passenger reported hearing anything suspicious.

When Debbie Linsley boarded the London Victoria train that early afternoon at Petts Wood Station, she had everything to live for - life was good. But when just over half an hour later the other passengers left the train at Victoria, Debbie didn't. It was the British Rail guard who found her body. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at just what happened to Debbie Linsley on that fateful day.

It was full steam ahead for railway enthusiasts across the Petersphere on Saturday (6th November) as Merchant Navy Class No.35028 "Clan Line" chuffed through the South Downs. “The Hampshire Pullman” was virtually on-time for the entirety of its six hour long trip from London Victoria and down the Portsmouth Direct Line before looping back round towards the capital via Eastleigh and Basingstoke. The train made its first stop at Haslemere to allow the locomotive to take on water. It was there that Shine Radio's Noni Needs and Harrison RB were invited for a tour of the iconic British Pullman carriages used on the London-Folkestone leg of the Venice Simplon Orient Express. Noni and Harrison also spoke to volunteers from the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society - Clan Line's owners - who are supported entirely through donations. This particular tour was organised by UK Railtours. But the excitement wasn't all up the A3 in Haslemere - Stephen Martin was at Kingsfernsden Lane level crossing where families gathered to catch a glimpse of the train as it headed for Petersfield station. Stephen spoke to Gill who lives close to the railway line. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trainspotters are gearing up to witness the first steam-hauled railtour along the main line through Petersfield for more than two years on Saturday (6th November). “The Hampshire Pullman” – hauled by Merchant Navy Class No.35028 “Clan Line” – is formed of the iconic British Pullman carriages used on the London-Folkestone leg of the Venice Simplon Orient Express, and will also pass through Liss and the Petersphere's spectacle of level crossings on its journey from, and to, London Victoria. The tour was originally scheduled via Andover and Southampton but has been diverted through the South Downs as the recovery operation continues at the scene of Sunday's train crash near Salisbury. After a water stop at Haslemere, 13:12-13:42, it is expected to pass Liphook at 13:47, Liss at 13:53, Petersfield at 13:57 and Rowlands Castle at 14:08. Noni Needs is joined by her fellow Shine Radio presenter and steam locomotive enthusiast Harrison RB. Image: Rob Hodgkins. Licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

Visit our website https://psycho-killer.co for exclusive videos, photos, articles, and transcripts.In straight-laced Victorian Britain, the railway line between London and the seaside town of Brighton was a bordello on wheels. Inevitably, the secret trysts and dodgy deals conducted in its curtained carriages led to some unsavoury crimes. A series of murders on the Brighton Line shocked polite society and some remain unsolved to this day. Others saw their perpetrators sent to the gallows. Brighton's reputation as a Bohemian playground was matched only by the town's notoriety for violence. The curious characters of Grahame Green's novel Brighton Rock were typical of those Simon Ford and detective Jacques Morrell encountered on this journey through the archives.The Six O'clock Knock is a Psycho Killer production.TranscriptHello and welcome to the Six O'clock Knock, the true-crime podcast that takes a fresh look at murder I'm Jacques Morrell I served as a police officer from 1985 to 2015. my last 12 years in the job was spent exclusively dealing with homicides as a detective sergeant and I'm Simon Ford a journalist and writer I have years of experience in radio and broadcasting I still have a nose for a good story and Jacques is still keen to apply his copper's brain to cases whether solved or not that's right and this episode will focus on murder on the railway of course we touched on the railways a few episodes back didn't we the Frederick Deeming case serial swindler and bigamist with a parshan for murdering his wives yes indeed he used the opportunity to travel that steam trains and steamships gave 19th century society he travelled extensively and he used a different name in every town the Victorian era meant that travel was so much easier and quicker the railways had revolutionized transport replacing those horse-drawn stage coaches that up to then were the quickest way to get from one town to another right mass travel had arrived passengers were less conspicuous traveling in greater numbers the commute had arrived and with it the travelling criminal yeah we're looking at this subject after someone suggested a particular case known as the murder on the Brighton line but when we started digging we found two others on the same stretch of railway line between London and Brighton well as your fellow journalist the late Sir Harry Evans said keep digging the truth is down there somewhere wow it's not often I mentioned in the same breath as the late great Harry Evans so um thanks for that mate and in terms of the truth yes it certainly is so we're going to dig into all those grisly crimes and trust me they are grisly Jacques did you ever deal with any railway cases well not really because railways in the UK have their own police the British Transport Police, or BTP, we occasionally asked them for information or made inquiries relating to people moving through railway premises but to be honest we really saw BTP officers at our police stations well the British transport police force has its roots very early in the history of British policing the earliest record of railway police predates the formation of the metropolitan police usually recognized as the first modern police force in England and Wales by at least four years no one knows just how many individual railway dock and canal police forces existed in the 19th century but they probably numbered over a hundred largely unsung and in many cases unremembered I suppose a modern equivalent would be private security firms in the united states safeguarding the interests and assets of corporations these early forces combined to form the modern BTP we looked at the recent crime figures for the BTP there was a significant rise in all crimes of 12 percent in 2019 Adrian Han stock the deputy chief constable said the record number of passengers using the railways was behind the jump in crime rates which were mainly theft and anti-social behaviour Hanstock put a lot of this down to the fact that railway stations are becoming increasingly commercial environments well that's certainly true anyone familiar with some pancreas station in London will know that the original storage areas below platform level they're now a stylish shopping centre and the Victorian booking office is a bar and a restaurant the force also reported a surge in the number of vulnerable people it dealt with including through providing mental health support officers and rail staff performed 2529 life-saving interventions up 32 percent on the year before despite this there were only six homicides on the British railway network in 2018 to 19. one was the awful death of 51 year old Lee Pomeroy who was stabbed to death by a paranoid schizophrenic after an argument on a train maybe there is an argument for the BPT to be amalgamated into the regional forces to share experience and intelligence public transport will only increase in the years to come integrated management of our transport network imagine that so do criminals use the rail network as a way of getting about or do they prefer to use the roads instead well of course they use both but you know over the years I've thought about how the world has changed not just in a policing sense but how society has changed in how it moves around if I'm completely honest the core has a lot to answer for this may be just my opinion but the car has made us selfish and anti-social we treat the car as an extension of our private lives whilst it's given us choice and freedom to move around when we want to we seem to enjoy the anonymity that the car brings us and as policing has taught me the public don't like it when they're challenged do they no I suppose not we all resent being stopped by the police or getting a fixed penalty notice through the post I know I do how dare they take a photo of me driving through that red traffic light not that I make a habit of it incidentally I suppose the car has also allowed criminals to operate in even wider areas and as you say Jacques being less conspicuous you're spot on burglars are the best example dwelling house burglars usually have a rule of not [ __ ] on their own doorstep they prefer to steal from neighbouring estates or areas they were passing through they always had a problem though how to transport their ill-gotten gains now jewellery and cash is not a problem electrical goods not so easy the car changed all that not only does the car provide transport and storage they don't stand out or look out of place do they it's just another car driving on a public road privacy no interaction with the public yeah I get it I'm trying to imagine myself as a burglar and having to use public transport while carrying the contents of somebody else's house with me I've got a heavy hold all bulging with jewellery and ornaments candlesticks that sort of thing a Sony PlayStation and I'm having to plan my getaway so 10 minute walk to the station buy a ticket wait around a bit I'm restricted by the timetable several people might see me look at me heavens even speak to me that's it and the car changed all that within a couple of hours at any time of day a criminal could drive to another town commit a crime drive to a different town dispose of the goods then return home the risks of being stopped by the police you'd take your chance even if the police showed an interest in you, you could hide any evidence in the worst case scenario you could fail to stop for them and try and get away yeah I see what you mean there the car allows people to move around unnoticed at a time to suit them protected by a metal shell things were very different 140 years ago it is 1881. the telephone has not long been invented Matthew Webb has recently swung the English channel and unwittingly his image has made it onto millions of matchboxes the first Boer war has just ended in south Africa where the British got their butts kicked two years ago 75 people died in the Tay bridge railway disaster in Scotland this case is much further south almost as far south as you can get on the British mainland in Brighton on the south coast of England [Music] the London and Brighton railway opened in 1841 and it brought Brighton within the reach of day-trippers from London the population grew from around seven thousand in eighteen hundred and one to more than a hundred and twenty thousand by nineteen hundred and one in 1881 there was overcrowding and disease clean water and sanitation would desperately needed just 47 miles from London the train was popular the regular service to the capital went to Croydon and then split into two one line to London Victoria and the other to London bridge stations on the route from London included East Croydon, Three Bridges, Hayward's Heath, Willsfield, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Preston park. It's Monday the 27th of June at 2pm Preston park is a small quiet station serving a village on the outskirts of Brighton the ticket collector watches the arrival of the train from London bridge a male passenger gets off there's something about him that draws the ticket collector's attention the man emerges from the first class compartment and steps onto the platform he seems unsteady on his feet he's not wearing a hat which is unusual nor is he wearing the collar and tie even more concerning he's covered in blood he seems distressed the collector goes to his assistants the man mumbled something about having been attacked as the train entered Merced tunnel now Merston tunnel is just south of Croydon and several stops from Preston park probably a 30 minute journey Read more: https://bit.ly/brighton-line-transcript

On the 23rd March 1988 Deborah Linsley boarded a train headed for London Victoria. She had been visiting family in Bromley, South East London and was heading back up to Edinburgh where she worked as the head receptionist at a hotel.She boarded the train at 2:18pm and it pulled up to Victoria as planned at 2:50pm that afternoon. Staff went to check the train carriages for lost luggage but instead came upon a horrific sight. They found Deborah on the floor and the carriage covered in blood. This episode is in thoughtful memory of Deborah Linsley. Important Information provided by: https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2018/03/23/police-appeal-for-information-30-years-after-woman-stabbed-to-death-on-train/Crimewatch Episode April 1988- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gunvNwICLMhttps://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/unsolved-murder-bromleys-debbie-linsley-16293127https://www.findmypast.co.uk/https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/feb/16/ukcrime.foodanddrinkIf you want to support the show on Patreon here is the link and thank you!https://www.patreon.com/theunseenpodMusic by: www.dl-sounds.com (http://www.dl-sounds.com/)Follow us on social media:Twitter- @theunseenpodFacebook- The Unseen Podcast

Oliver Ormson is currently playing Rob in High Fidelity at the Turbine Theatre in south London.  The theatre was recently founded by its Artistic Director, Paul Taylor Mills. High Fidelity is the theatre’s second production and its first musical.  The show originally opened on Broadway in 2006 where it closed 10 days after its opening night.  The show is about a north London record shop owner called Rob who ranks everything in his life in top 5 lists and whose girlfriend breaks up with him. It’s based on a novel by Nick Hornby. You may have seen Oliver before in shows such as Cats at Kilworth House and The Addams Family UK tour. We had a chat before a midweek matinee in the auditorium which was built beneath a railway arch on the mainline into London Victoria. You can follow Backstage With… on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to find out which stage door we’re going through next.

This is a little different. I recently purchased a device called an "Ether". The device converts the electromagnetic spectrum to audible sound. It can make for a quite interesting experience. This recording is of my journey to London Victoria station. It's about 20 minutes long. At times the audio is quite interesting, and others not so much so. This really is an experiment, and one I'll be repeating when I've found more electromagnetically interesting environments to record.

I thought it would be wise to share an excerpt from my very first book, The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love on Your Terms to celebrate it pre-launch. Well, it's available for pre-order now and the reason you might want to order it before December 31st, is because of all the goodies I'm giving away to you early birds! The pre-order goodies include: Access to the Creative Introvert Book Club: 6 live monthly calls with live coaching, Q+A and a read-along for each part! (value $600) Membership to the online community, The League of Creative Introverts for 6 months (value: $150) A copy of The Creative Introvert Troubleshooting Companion – a self-coaching guide to work through any last niggles you might have in creating a life you love, on your terms (value: $11) “The woman leaned over, smiling kindly as she offered me a fruit pastille. I graciously accepted candy from a stranger, as though in doing so the sugar would somehow absorb into my bloodstream and make life sweet again, rather than simply causing an insulin spike. If this isn't evidence of the kindness of strangers, I don't know what is. To really set the scene: this was a rainy day in the October of 2010. I was still proverbially wet behind the ears, having recently graduated from the University of Reading with a fairly respectable degree in Graphic Communication and Typography. I was three months into my internship at a small digital agency in London's West End, and I had stormed out of the office in tears approximately 45 minutes prior. I was still sobbing, red-faced, as I sat on the train, urging it to leave the station and take me away from the hell of London Victoria as swiftly as possible. Come to think of it, the kindly, sweet-bearing lady didn't have much of a choice. You can't really enjoy your fruit pastilles if you're sat opposite someone showing signs of hysteria, increasingly turning as red as her hair by the second. Might as well offer her one. So… what was the reason for the waterworks and the storming out, two hours before the day's end? There were a multitude of reasons, from unfair salary to a narcissistic CEO, but what persisted – and what sparked this book into being – was the dawning of a discovery I wouldn't fully grasp for another three years. I left that sadistic internship the next day – yay – but the underlying problem causing my chronic distress and dissatisfaction followed me into my next job. There, I found a much more fair, friendly and above-board company to work for. Yet whilst my circumstances improved on paper, the storm brewing inside me did not. Let's piece the evidence together and see if we can diagnose the Cat of circa 2010–2013 with the real underlying problem: • The highlight of her workday is the first hour. Quiet time to herself before the remainder of the office (comprising 30–40 individuals at any given time) clocks in. • After this, she starts to exhibit signs of quiet distress. Her brow furrows, and grooves get deeper throughout the day, until 5:30pm comes and she resembles a raisin you might consider putting on your cereal. • She is in a state of constant lethargy, despite the fact she spends approximately 80% of her day sitting. • The kindly co-workers around her, who mean well with their table football and darts, just can't understand why she is spontaneously crying. Is it something they said? When I looked at these symptoms in the thick of my malaise, I assumed that I was fatally flawed. A broken human who couldn't hold down a respectable job that plenty of other young graduates would have given their left eyebrow for. I actually never figured it out whilst I remained (miraculously) employed there. It took a leap of faith and a holiday to Japan for me to finally pack it in and save my boss and colleagues the discomfort of keeping Mount Cat from erupting. My plan was to simply take a shot at this thing called freelancing, for the six months of savings I had. I can honestly say I had no idea what I was doing: I just had to test my hypothesis; that the 9–5 office grind was not a match for me. It turns out, I was on to something. Overnight, I discovered energy I hadn't had in over three years. I woke up without the need for an alarm (and several snoozes), eager to open my laptop, inspired to start creating and refining and emailing and tinkering each and every day. So what changed? What was it about my newfound lifestyle and work day turned me from Sourpuss to the Cheshire Cat? Did I just hate people? That didn't seem fair: I liked my colleagues very much. Plus, the more ‘difficult' clients hadn't disappeared: I was still dealing with some of the same people and arguably some even more prickly characters now. Was I just spoiled with years of schooling and university that sheltered me from the grind of commuting each day to an office full of diverse characters and pressure to demonstrate initiative? But I've always been highly conscientious, hard-working and tolerant of rigid routine. Again, this didn't add up. Eventually, discussing my confusion with a friend, he casually diagnosed me. “You're an introvert, then.” “An introvert?!” I balked. I could admit that I was a shy child, and had my own share of social anxieties, but on the whole I'd made huge progress in my social skills and increased my confidence over the years. I couldn't be an introvert! Then he explained what the original definition of introvert is, coined by Carl Jung, Swiss psychoanalyst, and later expanded upon by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. The confusion I had over my work history – and much of my school years – started to vanish. When I understood this new (old) definition of what an introvert really is, a whole world of self-knowledge and understanding of others opened up to me. An introvert, defined in this book is: • Someone who gets drained by socialising in groups and recharges by being alone. • Someone who processes information slowly and deeply. • Someone who is NOT necessarily shy or quiet! Newly armed with this information, my fascination grew. I started to understand why networking was so exhausting. I realised why in-house freelance contracts were not ideal, why I couldn't stomach networking, why I grew tired long before my more extroverted friends at the pub. I started to shape my business around remote work and clients who could accommodate that. I started turning to more strategic ways of getting my work in front of people. I started letting my friends know why I had to pull an ‘Irish Exit' so often. The biggest relief was knowing: I wasn't broken. I wasn't a freak. I was in the 30-50% of the population who also fell on the introverted side of the spectrum. A real ah-ha moment came as I started to see a correlation specifically between the creatives I knew and my newfound self-diagnosis. I was finding that the vast majority of these creatives; illustrators, animators, writers, even musicians (who I had assumed were all extroverts if they performed on stage) were also introverts. We lamented, over tepid pints of dutch courage, how much we wanted to relax into a hermit lifestyle and commit to our art. Self-promotion, social media, talking about what we do, pitching clients and agents… that was the drag, the painful side of our creative path we would do anything to avoid. I felt this pain acutely. I also felt called to doing something about our conundrum. I committed myself to first working out an introvert-friendly way to make a career that suited my personality type and preferences, then to helping my fellow creative introverts. I committed to finding a way we could have our introverted cake and eat it too. In this case, our cake is creating work we love, and eating it is… well, making a living from it without selling our soul to our extrovert overlords. This became my obsession, the one that kicked off the Creative Introvert blog, podcast, the League of Creative Introverts and the book you're reading. Are you a creative introvert? There are a plethora of tests online that will give you your introvert diagnosis, but really it's very simple. Do you identify with more than three of the following? • You restore your energy when you spend time alone. • You generally dislike being at the centre of attention. • It takes you some time to get involved in social activities with a new group of people. • You usually find it difficult to relax when talking in front of more than one person. • You prefer to express yourself through writing or other non-verbal forms. Well my friend, you're an introvert in my books! Misconceptions about introverts Common misconceptions about introverts are that we're all shy and socially anxious. Whilst these traits do overlap, and it is very common to be both an introvert and shy, I do want to clarify that these are separate traits. Even if you consider yourself shy, you probably recognise that your shyness is situational: it depends on the context. Introversion however, is less fickle. I can't control whether or not I feel my energy drain after a few hours in a large group situation. I can't control how my brain processes information and how long it often takes me to find the right word when I'm speaking (especially compared to when I'm writing.) In addition, this isn't a book about becoming more of an extrovert: that isn't my goal and I don't believe it needs to be yours either. Nor is it a simple description of what it is to be a creative introvert, and an excuse to rant about our struggles. Instead, you'll be given tailored, experience-based and evidence-based guidance on building a thriving creative career, taking into account your introversion. Now to define creativity… oh my. This is a little trickier to pin down than introversion. Unlike personality tests, I'm less fanatical about ‘creativity' tests that get you to think of multiple uses for a pencil, and decide your creativity based on that. I'm a believer in creativity being in the eye of the beholder. You can feel creative in a niche area like flower arranging, whilst regarding yourself as unmusical, a terrible painter with two left feet. Creativity comes in myriad forms and outlets, and more than anything it's a description of how we connect the dots, how we generate novelty, and how we play. I'm not going to ask you to take a test to bolster your belief in how creative you are: I'm going to take a guess and say that you ARE creative. How you utilise that creativity and bring it to fruition is entirely up to you, and I would love more than anything for this book to reveal how you can best do that for your specific personality type, preferences, skills and desires. If anything you've read so far about introversion and creativity resonates then there is a good chance this book is for you. The clincher is this: have you experienced challenges in your career ambitions? It might be communicating with your boss or coworkers. It might be feeling exhausted in an open plan office space. It might be clarifying your target market and building a coherent body of work. All of these challenges – and many more – you might face as a creative with a degree of career ambition will be explored in this book. The difference from other career advice books is that this will take into account your introverted nature. It will take into account your preferences for alone time, rich conversation with one person at a time and other subtleties that make being an introvert different. You'll learn how to use your introverted strengths in your creative career and mitigate the blind-spots that you might experience. If that sounds like something that might help you, then this book is most definitely for you. How to make the most out of this book This book is divided into six sections: the key areas I've identified in working with hundreds of creative introverts in coaching and teaching settings. They are: 1) Prepare: Learn what you need to be at your best This section shows you how self-knowledge, mindset and positive psychology are foundational to creative career success. Without this foundation, taking action and applying all the nitty-gritty strategy will likely fall flat; you'll run into all sorts of sticking points and tie yourself in knots, if you don't have these firm foundations. You'll find out what you need in order to thrive: to be at your creative best, both internally and externally. There will be multiple quizzes so you can identify more about your own personality type and we'll explore the various routes to learning more about yourself, and how to apply this knowledge. 2) Plan: Get the clarity to move forward with confidence Next, you'll learn how to break down the daunting tasks of planning a career shift, starting a new project or building a creative business from scratch. You'll be guided through a process specifically tailored to creative introverts: including a new take on business planning that is not going to induce sleep. You'll gain clarity on what kind of life you're carving out for yourself, and how to remove the overwhelm from that grand concept, breaking down any size of dream into practical, actionable steps. This section will include helpful worksheets which can be filled in online or downloaded to print. 3) Produce: How To Actually Get Things Done If you've ever struggled with the procrastination gremlin, you'll be relieved to know that the battle ends here. You'll learn strategies and tools you can use in any situation to finally get it DONE. Regardless of your old habits and limiting beliefs, this section will help you find a way to make strides in anything you set your mind to: on your terms. 4) Promote: Time To Get Your Art Out! This is the section that many creative introverts will be most challenged by: but I promise you that this is where the biggest rewards lie. You'll learn how to market your work without feeling sleazy or pushy. You'll learn how to identify, attract and sell to your dream clients or customers and get the exposure you so deserve. Plus, you'll do it all in a way that suits your introverted nature. 5) Progress: Taking Stock and Correcting Course Throughout this book you'll find an emphasis on experimentation. This section is where this scientific approach comes into its own. You'll learn how to run your own experiments that will show you exactly what you're doing that is working, and what you need to tweak. The point is to have fun: this is more like the Mento and Diet Coke type of experiment than the Hadron Collider type of experiment. 6) People: Introverts Need Them Too Just because we're introverts doesn't mean we can do this all alone. People are on every corner of your creative journey, and learning how to manage these relationships effectively is going to be the make or break difference in your success. This section delves into collaboration, communication and energy management. Note: This is not a straight-forward how-to guide book. I encourage you to find your own formula. All I can give you is ingredients (Tips + Tools) and recipes (Action Steps) that myself and others have tried, and have found helpful. This is a bit of a ‘choose your own adventure', in that I want to give you as many options as possible to find what works best for you with your personality type and preferences. This was the good news I so badly wanted to be true when I started to understand myself better: that just because something that works for someone else didn't work for me, does not mean I'm a lost cause. It just means there is another way to get there. This book aims to show you the other way. If you're ready to get started and finally build a successful creative career that fits you like a tailor made glove, then let's get going!” Excerpt From: The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love on Your Terms    POWERED BY PATREON This podcast is made possible only by means of my generous supporters on Patreon.

Edinburgh by coach from Brighton. A 4am start and a 15 hour journey, door to door. Ok let me explain my choice for transportation for this city break. I could have got a train (half the time) or flown (a 10th of the time) but no, I chose the coach. A choice that most people don't make, if they can afford a bit of extra cash. And while I'm not exactly rolling in it, I probably could have splashed out a bit more than the mere £30 return the coach costs (which is a ludicrous bargain my mind is still boggling over.) No, my reasoning was: I actually wanted to go on a coach trip. I see these National Express coaches coasting up the - er - coast on a daily basis, and they always look so big and exotic... and convenient: no hauling myself through airport security, or switching trains in London. The coach stop is less than 10 mins walk from my house, and leaves you in the heart of Edinburgh... just, 15 hours later. So, much to all my friend's dismay, I opted for my coach journey. The early start - yes, 4am - wasn't too hard for me. It was only an hour or so earlier than usual - yes, I'm that person - plus I like early starts if I'm going on holiday. It reminds me of the one big family holiday we went on. I was 6, we drove to Italy (ahh now I understand why I'm a sucker for a long uncomfortable journey) and we had to wake up at 3am I think. I ate my rice krispies too fast and puked in the car. OK so, coach! It was 2 hours to London Victoria, on a very quiet, fairly comfy, air conditioned coach. Then there was an hour wait at the Victoria coach station, which is a bit of a hell hole, but I was happy enough with my oat milk cappuccino (word to the wise, there's a Pret a Manger, Cafe Nerro - my choice - and a Starbucks at the coach station. But I'd definitely recommend bringing your own food - the one food shop there is ludicrously overpriced and understocked.) Then at 8am, I was on the coach. Yes, time went slowly. I alternated between writing my book, listening to podcasts, reading The Untethered Soul and staring out the window. I really do get my best ideas when I'm on transport. Somehow, I survived. There was a stop in Leeds, which was a bit depressing - like I said, coach stations just aren't glam places to hang out - and I had a little Chinese boy next to me for the rest of the journey. He entertained me, patting his brother on the shoulder to get him to turn around, then giving him the finger. Smart kid. I got a taxi to my Airbnb, because, rain. Ahh rain - this was another reason I was determined to come to Scotland this summer. I really wanted a break from the heat down south - and I got it! Very satisfying, knowing it was 10 degrees cooler where I was - a much more temperate climate for gingers, I believe. Ok so my Airbnb was lovely, one of the sweetest hosts I've ever met, though that night I basically zonked out shortly after arriving because coach travel - somehow - is tiring.   Full episode and show notes >>

Life on the mainland was, however, pretty normal for most people. For twenty-six-year-old Deborah Linsley it was the day she would return to her home in Edinburgh following a few days visiting her family in friends in Bromley, South East London, following a training course in London. Deborah was going to be her brother's bridesmaid in two weeks-time and the trip was a welcomed break that allowed her to catch-up with the wedding plans. At the time the train was most sensible and economic way to travel around the UK, so her brother took her to Petts Wood train station some twenty-minuets away so that she could catch the Orpington to London Victoria train and then onwards to Scotland.

We’re meant to be talking about October 6 in ‘Riddle of the Sands’, but frankly this is a period in the book where not a lot is happening, and we’re essentially gearing up for the main spying action starting on October 15. Having been stood up by a man who may (or may not) have had a boat in Norfolk that looks a bit like Dollmann’s Medusa, Lloyd (notDavies) and Tim (notCarruthers) decide to go on a ‘test adventure’ in another part of the world. We’re going back in the book to September 25 when Carruthers set off from London Victoria to catch the Flushing steamer. Can you still do this trip? Is there even a train line anymore, let alone a steamer? We find out. VIDEOS OF THE TRIP COMING SOON AT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcWszEM8KPjYDc01Isxo97g Lloyd (notDavies)’s deep knowledge of train timetables gets us as far as Sittingbourne (04:45); we arrive at Queenborough harbour (06:54); we find the old trainline (07:45); we find the steamer pier! (10:15); we smoke a pipe and talk of encounters with an invading German sailor and a peregrine-protecting birdwatcher (13:35). This is exactly the kind of adventure btw you can expect to be have access to every day in September & October if you pledge some money at http://unbound.co.uk/books/riddle-of-the-sands CLUB BUSINESS: John on how to recognise the Kaiser (22:19); Kevin shares our enthusiasm for the actress who plays Frau Dollman in the movie of ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ (23:17); Emma remembers that she borrowed a Rippingille stove from Lady Rozelle Raynes (24:52) Janet warns us against sailing beyond the Elbe in October (26:53); Ian writes a fabulously supportive blog post about the Adventure Club (30:08); ahoy to the Literary Platform for highlighting the Club (31:20); Nick offers to do some legwork on Juist this summer, and we encourage him to row to Memmert (33:30) MISSIONS FOR NEXT WEEK: Wangerooge, pink gin, sluices and fog (36:24) MUSIC CREDITS Great Open Sea by Wellington Sea Shanty Society (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Wellington_Sea_Shanty_Society/none_given_1098/12_-_Wellington_Sea_Shanty_Society_-_Great_Open_Sea) is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License.

California Sewist seeks inspiration at the Victoria and Albert In the June Enchanted by Swing podcast I shared some of my favorite sewist sights in London: Tana Lawn fabric at Liberty, street fashion and a trip to a special exhibit at Buckingham Palace. Before the show returns to a California sewing scene,  I take you along with me on a tour of the Victoria and Albert fashion gallery. It's just like we're walking the floor together (and yes - we do take a tea break too), looking at all the details dear to a sewists heart. Did you see that cuff? How did they make those roses? What is giving that bodice it's structure?  Yes, the sights and sounds (even some of my camera clicks) of the gallery are all there. It's an in-the-moment show.
