Lewis in Farndon and Tim in Shenfield have a mug and a smart speaker to play for.

EP 128 with Ilan Shenfield of Shenfield Forge near Edmonton, Alberta This week we have Ilan Shenfield on the show from the Edmonton Alberta area. We sat down a couple times with Ilan to record a show. The first recording was solo hosted and went into some deep dives on personal matters that go well beyond blacksmithing. Wasn't sure about releasing that so we sat down again. The second recording, this one, stayed focused much more on metal work. Some good info in this show, but some good stuff missing that was in that first recording so that one might just get released soon. Until then, or the what ever comes next, I hope this one brings something good to your ears. Cheers and good beers eh!

In this program, we compare dreaming and improvisation focusing on creative synergies, experiential similarities, and the underlying neurophysiology. These states of mind are mutually illuminating. That is, learning about one provides insights into the other. A key insight here is that we can deepen our understanding of improvisation by exploring other states of mind that have overlapping experiential qualities or brain states. In his book Dreams of Awakening, Charlie Morley writes that “…there are many different ways to tell the difference between [different states of experience], but the easiest way to get to grips with these differences is to spend as much time as we can in these states.” I propose that this is the case for improvisation, as well. By paying more attention to our dreaming experiences, we may deepen our knowledge of the experience of improvisation.

To be or not to be, made in Essex, Canada Eh! fast train from Shoreditch, a wedding ring, moving & pouring and interview with John Kernaghan, GM, Liquorice Wines & Deli in Shenfield. ON THE ROAD with mrCAwine is about California's cool, aspirational lifestyle and awesome wines hosted by Chuck Cramer, a California native, living in London and is the Director of European sales & marketing, Terlato Wines. This is a wine journey covering the hottest topics in the business of California wine, chatting along the way with the people who work in wine, and make it all happen. This week's episode includes an interview with John Kernaghan, GM, Liquorice Wines & Deli. 

In this podcast we talk about the challenge of “designing infrastructure for people” – clearly a vital outcome from investment but too often overlooked.In particular, we are going focus on the architectural challenge of the Crossrail project, a multibillion pound scheme which after decades of planning and construction has given London the new Elizabeth Line beneath the capital - in fact providing 100km service linking Heathrow Airport and Reading in the west across to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.Everyone will be familiar with the criticisms of the project and the fact that it was delivered several years late and considerably over budget when it opened in May last year.  A lot of lessons will of course be learned.But crucially, anyone that has travelled on the new Elizabeth Line will also appreciate – and in most cases eulogise about – the step change that the new service provides in terms of scale, comfort and sheer user delight from a public transport facility.In short, much of that delight is down to good design – of the trains but more importantly of the stations which are, without exception, designed with the users in mind. In fact, the new underground station beneath the heart of London have been described as modern cathedrals to public transport – expensive and complex to deliver certainly, but now key hubs and drivers for a wholesale uplift in the public realm for decades to come.Behind this success is good design and a clear architectural vision for public need. It is my pleasure therefore, to welcome Harbinder Birdi to the Infrastructure Podcast today, who, as a partner at architectural practice Hawkins Brown, was the architect that, over many years and for many masters, drove and clung onto that vision for Crossrail.ResourcesCrossrail Learning LegacyBirdi and Partners architectsDefining and developing the Design Champion role

London's new £18.9bn Elizabeth line has recently opened, with travellers now able to go from Abbey Wood to Heathrow and Reading, and from Shenfield to Heathrow. We went to find out about the line's access features, with Clive Wood of the charity Guide Dogs. Clive was offering advice and guidance on the accessible design of the new line and he believes there is more that can be done to ensure full accessibility. We put his concerns to TfL's chief customer officer, Mark Evers. We also travelled down to South London, to an exhibition at the Outlined Gallery called Do You See What I See? It is an exhibition that showcases the interpretations of how partially sighted people, with various conditions, see and experience art. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: pictured from the left is Sam Leftwich (one of the visually impaired participants in the Do You See What I See exhibition), then stands Elizabeth Manuel (the person leading the exhibition), then Peter White and finally Lindsay Whitelaw (the professional artist) on the right. The group stand in front of some of the art that is showcased in the exhibition.

After years of delays, spiralling costs and a name change, Crossrail, now the Elizabeth Line has finally begun service today and I'm one the first train to take passengers this morning. The Elizabeth Line promises to make travel across the capital far quicker and much more simple for passengers, joining Reading out in the west of London to Shenfield, out in Essex. Though the line is open now, there are still works ongoing to deliver what's been promised to tube passengers, but those behind the project are for now enjoying the moment of finally opening.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.

It is Sunday and I have been driving our existing car for the first time, we are buying a new one tomorrow, as in Phase 3 we can go to a car showroom. Can I say that the gear box stick is in quite the wrong place and while we are at it, so is the steering wheel.  Find out more: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 84 Car Share   Sunday the start of a new week, Monday brings us phase 3, we have jumped a week, the Alarma itself finishes June 21st, the central Government hands over its central control to the Juntas – the Regional Government.  So only 14 more of these special Podcasts left and I am saving my best story to last, one clue, it was major misjudgement on my behalf that I will pay for the rest of my life.   First we should get a Royal Decree, a Bill that will detail everything that will happen after the Alarma, Lockdown ends, then that will be interpreted by the Regional Governments who in turn will make their own rules about the de-escalation of Lockdown.. complicated isn’t it.   And all the while the rules change and alter.  Tomorrow we pick up a new car, not sure what the sales service will be like, guessing, a bit average by British standards.   There is a lot of paperwork to fill in, all written in complex Spanish, the stuff that doesn’t not translate with any proper meaning.  Laura our Bank Manager is coming along to help Chris through the process.   Banks here are more, I guess old fashioned, you get a named Manager, she is principally employed as a salesperson, up selling insurance, TV sets sometimes, yes the Bank here will flog you a TV or a mobile phone.   We did a test run to discover where the dealer was located, a Google map put them about 300 metres away in a different road, that turned out to be a Mercedes dealer.  Driving around what is known locally as Gasoline Alley, we found the dealer and we found our new car, sitting looking rather dustily in the disabled parking space.   Chris collects the car at 10am, so hopefully they might give it a clean and stick the matriculation plate on.   A few months ago, we looked at buying a new car from the local Fiat dealer, as we currently have a Fiat.  We were with our dear friend Maria, she went up to the salesman who was on the way out to the back for a ciggy.   “This hombre is interested in buying a new car.”  The salesman looked at her wearily, let out a long sigh and slumped himself back down into his chair and started jabbing at the computer screen.   “Marca?”  Chris replied Fiat, 500, sports.  “Mmm Desportes.” He said, his eyes narrowing, thinking here is an English with some money.  The next thing he said was too quick for us to catch.  Monica said, “He is asking if you need finance.”  Chris told him we didn’t, we would pay cash, but trade in the old car.   Then came the Spanish moment, he said “But your car is only three years old, why do you want to buy a new one?”   To be fair he has a point, but it is not something you would ever hear come from the mouth of a British Salesman. He jabbed the keys of his computer some more and showed us an Abarth with an eye watering price.   “No no” said Chris “a sports trim Fiat 500 not an Abarth.”  “But this is very nice car, go very fast.” I asked, “Are there any deals on at the moment?”  Monica translated – the Salesman looked at us puzzled – so no deals then, if ever.   In an earlier Podcast I told about our friend who bought a very expensive Range Rover, in excess of 38 thousand Euros and the Salesman whispered in her ear after the sale, “I have left you a little present on the back seat, for being such a good customer.”   When she opened the rear door of the car, there laying forlornly was a single sachet of Turtle Wax polish.   So we found the Dealer and found the car, now it was my turn to drive our current car home, as I will need to do this tomorrow.  I drove in the UK, often having to pick up Chris from the Railway Station or wherever the Railway Company was giving up running a service, which was usually a small village called Shenfield.   So I am a very average driver, but could get myself around our local town fairly well, hardly any scrapes or misjudgements.   But driving in Spain is a whole new ball game, and to save Chris screams and shouting, did you see that car, can you see the cyclist and so on and so on, I have refrained from driving.   So the first thing I notice about sitting in the driving seat of our current car is the gear stick is in quite the wrong place and while we are at it, so is the steering wheel.  Chris also sits up very erect and he has the driving seat set to, upright, electric chair, which I find quite uncomfortable.  I prefer the setting comfortable Lloyd Loom wickerchair, further back but not as far back as out friend who practically drives looking up at the roof of his car.   Driving off, and after driving small urban cars in the UK, if feels like I am driving one of those enormous American Jeeps.  Chris points out that this is a Jeep but in Fiat clothing. So that would explain that.   Changing gear is problematic, one, I am not used to the gear box and two, force of habit makes my left arm move to change the gear, and in correcting myself I seem to swerve across the road, well that’s my excuse.   I just wish Chris would stop screaming, he is a very bad passenger, and there was nothing coming the other way, so I am not sure what his problem is?   The Fiat 500X is a very nice car if you have a family and need enough boot space to hold a baby elephant, but we have both found it too big for our needs, I shall be driving it very carefully tomorrow as it has a new home to go to, someone who actually does have a family for the family car.   I am sure everything will go smoothly tomorrow, we might be pleasantly surprised, I might find I will actually find fifth gear on the way back home, subscribe to the Podcast and find out tomorrow, if you go to the secret spain dot com you can find every episode and full transcripts too.     

Today Monkees and Post Day Forty of the Spanish Lockdown, the sometimes amusing, diary of a Brit in southern Spain under the 'Alarma' - normal life has stopped.   To find out more:  https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 40 Monkees and Post   It is day 40 of our Spanish Lockdown and if I was Noah in the Bible the floods would have gone, and I would be getting off my Ark by now.   Today thin beardy boy, from the local courier delivered our spare microphone, as the other two have succumbed to the heat and humidity. At first, he gave me a large box full of wine, but that was for the house down the road, then he gave me the plastic package the microphone had arrived in.   I undid the plastic, threw it away and washed my hands.  The box the microphone was damaged at the side, if only the company I bought it from had packed it a bit better.  You suddenly get that sinking feeling that things are going to get complicated.  But plugging the thing in, it seems to work ok.    I have a love hate relationship with microphones, it took me a long time to get used to using one.  I was working in a well-paid but noisy and dull factory job when I jumped ship and joined the new radio commercial radio station Essex Radio.   A few months earlier I had been given an opportunity to start working there on a Saturday Sports Show, for my travelling expenses and usually one of the presenters would all take us for pizza after the show.   I can remember being so nervous that first Saturday morning that I threw up in the local park on the way to the railway station. I had to travel to Southend where the radio station was and that involved a tortuous journey halfway across Essex then back again toward the coast, stopping off at the delightful railway station that was Shenfield.   Of course, none of the trains coincided with each other and you would spend sometimes almost an hour in a freezing cold waiting room waiting for a connection.   So what had started as a Saturday job turned into full time freelance work, I was paid the paltry sum of £2 an hour but they told me they would also pay me net and pay my National Insurance, one of those was true.  Years later I discovered my National Insurance wasn’t paid, so I lost a year in accrued state pension.. thanks Essex Radio.   But wow what a job, there were popstars popping in like lovely Alyson Moyet who was just a kid then, with a face full of acne, or Davy Jones from the Monkees, .. what a complete fruit cake he was, he sort of clung to the walls when I took him down to the studio.   I remember there was a large pile of Essex Radio stickers on a window ledge.. “Oh man can I have some of these?”  I said “Yes help yourself.”  ..he took the lot, I have no idea what he planned to do with fifty Essex Radio car stickers, but he filled both pockets full. Then carried on clinging to the walls till we got into the studio.   One of the things the Radio Authority, called the IBA then made Essex Radio do, was a lot of local speech, this included a local farmer with whistling teeth who came in to record a local history spot called Essex tales.  There were two very nice ladies from the local library, one with a guitar who came in to record a children’s spot.   Nobody wanted the onerous task of recording all these worthy features, so it fell to me to make sure they were recorded and made ready for air each day, the rest of the time I engineered live shows with the presenter sitting opposite me just playing records and the odd jingle.   It was a great time.    Day 40 and I long for freedom, I read today thanks to a Facebook friend, that the Spanish Post Office has completely fallen over and there are thousands of pieces of undelivered mail. What was most surprising was that the Post Office is run not by a business Director but by a former Union Official turned Politician.    I just assumed like the UK, the Post Office was run as a public company.  In recent years there has been an explosion of parcel and mail carriers here and with the advent of email, I think it is only the Spanish love of pieces of paper that have kept Correos going.   Our local post office is a tiny little place, inside it looks very much like the Blue Peter Appeal office, - awash with parcels, marked urgent and Amazon Prime on.  They have even started using some of the offices as an overspill.   Usually there are two members of staff peering into computer screens, slowly processing whatever the customer has asked for.  Nothing in the Spanish post office is in any way efficient.  It always involves all that peering and then reams of paper being printed off, followed by a lot of stamping of paper. My favourite lady in there is a tiny shrew of a woman who smells strongly of tobacco that brings down her precious post office stamp with such ferocity it sounds like a K.O. punch from Muhammed Ali.   The man sitting next to her, again when you get to know him, he is a polite enough person, but he wears a constant pained expression, usually he will almost get to the end of his painful slow tapping at the computer when he will let out a great sigh, throw his hands in the air, and you know you are in for an even longer wait.   Finally there is a feisty lady who is our delivery person.  She drives into our estate entrance with speedy determination, jumping from the little yellow van, already wielding the keys to the post boxes at the bottom of the mountain, looking once at her sorting the mail into the little boxes we all have, it was like a scene out of that old Post Office film from the 1930s when they are sorting mail on the Mail Train.   I’m not sure that it has changed that much from when the Spanish Post Office started in 1716, maybe that is the problem?                         

LWTFB - Research Analyst Katrina Shenfield by Girl Talk Finance Bunch

Welcome to the 27th CONKERS’ CORNER recorded on the 5th August 2016. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with @PaulJKavanagh1 Paul Kavanagh the CEO and founder of Patronus Partner: a discerning, accessible investment management and stockbroking service that provides a comprehensive approach to investment management. Paul grew up in Shenfield in Essex where, as a young boy doing his paper round he shrewdly noticed, “big houses took the Financial Times”. This married to his love of maths led to him being very keen to leave school without even pursuing A levels, which he was more than capable of doing. He instead took an opportunistic leap into the City of London as a sixteen year old, taking his first job with Extel Financial (EXTEL), where he started off with administration tasks. However within eight months Paul alongside colleagues in the U.S, were tasked with building a Mergers & Acquisitions (MNA) database. Having successfully put the database together his bosses tasked the then eighteen year old Paul, with selling the database and service to all the major institutions in the City of London. This led to Paul holding meetings with all the major partners in the City in the late 80’s and early 90’s. To put this into context, it would be the equivalent of a teenager holding court with a combination of the today’s Anthony Bolton, Neil Woodford and Gervais Williams and many others, on a daily basis! Through his work with the EXTEL MNA research database, Paul ended up providing due diligence on potential acquisition opportunities. It was through this connection that he met Paul Killik and Matthew Orr, the founders of Killik & Co. He joined that firm in 1993, becoming Partner shortly after and enjoying 21 years there. During that time, the firm grew significantly and spawned other businesses including 7 Investment Management, Raymond James Investment Services and Killik Employee Share Services. Paul’s role at the firm included managing clients and assisting the build of Killik Capital, leading the research offering and providing media presence. On a personal level Paul is a high conviction and high risk investor who prefers to invest in AIM stocks. He is often looking for special situations and trading opportunities which will provide him with significant returns. Paul has spent most of his career in the stockbroking industry. With a natural interest in stock market investing, he spent five years writing for the Sunday Times Money section, discussing over one hundred individual businesses in some detail during the 1990’s. Paul went on to be a regular contributor on the investment conference circuit and in the media with the BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg and Sky News. Paul formed Patronus Partners Ltd http://www.patronuspartners.com/ in January 2015 with two former Killik & Co colleagues, Kareem Khouri and John Prior, each of whom has extensive experience in investment management and stockbroking services. Listen now to gain insights into how Paul invests and learn from the lessons in his successful and insightful investing journey.
