The summer has arrived! Probably only for a day or two... No, I mustn't be negative. The weather is beautiful. Holidays in Britain in the old days were great. The roads were clear, no potholes, driving was lovely... Did you go to Spain for your holidays back in the 70s? English fish and chips, English beer... You'd think we were back home!

Welcome to another Midweek Message. I've had a great deal of positive response about the Nurse Diane Interview so, I might try and set up more interviews. Thanks for all your emails, keep them coming. The weather here has turned colder... there's a surprise! But, we have a wall of heat of the way! Whatever that is!

In this episode I welcome Diane, my sister-in-law, into the studio. She's a retired nurse and she chats about her days working in hospitals and a GP's surgery. The operating theatre, the wards, the matron, a nursing school, sticking needles in people, giving patients alcohol... Please, join me for a very interesting chat with Nurse Diane this coming Sunday.
Customer Reviews
Probably the most wholesome podcast made in Britain
I come here to get away from doom and gloom of UK politics which I follow daily.
When it all gets too much, I turn on Ray’s soothing voice and listen about pubs and food and jokes and old castles and it works like magic ! ☺️
So, if you are looking for something to lift your mood with no negativity, no polarisation and no politics then give this lovely man’s podcast a go!
