Wow a hot and sunny weekend and boy did we have the music to match today.

Hopefully you’ll have taken your radio into the garden with you so you could enjoy the music we were playing – a whole heap of summer fun sounds of the recent past mixed with some of the greatest recent releases.

Phoenix FM, the ideal companion to make your lunch in the garden just perfect!

For that crowning glory had you then added an ice cold beer, glass of Pimms or a refreshing bottle of wine, you would have enjoyed a meal fit for a King.

For me the crowning glory was the arrival of Frances Clamp who took us on a nostalgic walk down Billericay High Street as it was in the 1950′s. Of course the decade opened in a period of true austerity. Rationing was the order of the day. No supermarkets then. Butchers had rabbits, and at Christmas, turkeys hanging on hooks outside their premises. Greengrocers stocked only the fruit and vegetables in season. Private cars were few in number. The sights, sounds and smells were all different back then, but listen again to what Frances had to say on this subject right here: – Bygones 9th July

Well that’s me done for another week. Starting an hour earlier next week at 11am so don’t be late. Enjoy your weekend and get out there “in the great outdoors” to enjoy the sunshine.

See ya,

Scott
