#introduction
I live in South Devon with my two Romanian rescue dogs (#LoriTheRomi & #BeanTheRomi) and two cats (#SmokieCat & #KipperCat). I escaped office life in London 20 years ago and moved here to run a B & B with my late wife.
I'm now fully retired, enjoying walks in this beautiful part of the world, but worrying what sort of world my grandchildren will grow up in.

#PaletteMusic is the theme of today's #tuneTuesday, songs with colour in the title etc.
Let's go old school with Booker T. and the MGs with Green Onions.

Living in rural Devon, this week's #ThursdayFiveList, #SupportYourLocals isn't easy.
For mine, I've selected bands from or near places I've lived over the last 70 years.
Weather With You - Crowded House.
I spent my early childhood in Otorohanga, Aotearoa New Zealand, near Te Awamutu, birthtown of the Finn brothers.

(I Just) Died In Your Arms - Cutting Crew
I went to school with Nick Van Eede (he was Nick Ede back then).

Gay Pirates - Cosmo Jarvis
Cosmo grew up in Totnes, and many of his early gigs were in The Pigs Nose, East Prawle, where I lived at the time.

Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
The Davies brothers were born and raised in East Finchley, where I lived for 16 years. When we were in the process of moving to Devon, I showed Ray Davies round my house.

Founding member Martin Turner was born in Torquay, not a million miles from here.
