Day 99 – 365 / April 9th 2015 These guidebooks were bought for me as presents last Christmas, ahead of my holiday this year. I am eagerly awaiting Independence Day in Nashville!

Day 98 – 365 / April 8th 2015 I finally got around to putting my friend Paul’s badges into their frames. It’s quite a lengthy process. But, his cases are now done.

Day 97 – 365 / April 7th 2015 Sarah, Bethany, Liam and I went to the pub quiz this evening. Unlike on previous occasions where we performed acceptably, tonight we didn’t. As my own scoresheet testifies.

Day 96 – 365 / April 6th 2015  Today was our attempt to set a brand new Guinness World Record for the Most Flat Cap Wearers In A Single Venue. The attempt seemed to go well, despite some last minute panics and changes to our planning. If may not seem a high number but we…

Day 95 – 365 / April 5th 2015 When your site box tips over in your van and the drawers open it appears that the contents spill all over. But, that means you have to sort it all out and this allows you to reorganise it better. And doing it in the warm sunshine is…

 Day 94 – 365 / April 4th 2015 This is what happens to your puppy’s paws when you cut the grass and she chases around on it. “Grinchy Paws”!

Day 93 – 365 / April 3rd 2015 “Paradise Alley”. A 1978 film starring Sylvester Stallone. A film that I saw in the early 80’s, possibly 1981, on BBC TV. I loved it! Especially the title song sung by Stallone himself. The lyrics are fab and Stallone’s delivery is great. I bought the album for…

Day 91 – 365 / April 1st 2015 The pile of TBR’s beside my bed is growing at an alarming rate. There are around 20 at the moment. TBR’s? To Be Read’s.

Day 90 – 365 / March 31st 2015 Here is a picture of the match day programme at Bradford City and an article advertising our caps and our attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the “Most Flat Caps At A Single Venue”. Beside me is Liz White and Jeremy White, my colleagues…

Day 89 – 365 / March 30th 2015 You may be aware of my part in creating caps from a bespoke designed tweed. The caps are being sold to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the Valley Parade fire and all the profits go to the Burns Unit at Bradford University. The pocket square I’m wearing…

Day 88 / 365 / March 29th 2015 Whilst looking through today’s Sunday Times Culture section I spied this advert. Now, as a fan of Charlie and Craig Reud, aka The Proclaimers, I get emails warning of upcoming releases and tour dates. One came through a few weeks ago and I looked at the venues where…

Day 87 – 365 / March 28th 2015 Taken from inside my van after today’s match against Oldham Athletic at Valley Parade. We had just beaten them 2-0 to maintain our hopes, rather slim in my view, of reaching the promotion play-offs this season. Two strikes from Billy Clarke, both late in the second half…

Day 86 – 365 / March 27th 2015 The view of the Holywell Ash Lane end of Valley Parade as seen from just inside the six yard box in front of the Kop. I was on the pitch today, along with Jeremy and Liz from BantamsFlatCaps.co.uk, for a photoshoot following a meeting with Bradford City…
