The incomparable Ed Baxter (pictured hiding behind tree) is leaving Resonance FM after more than 20 years. Anyone who knows anything about Ed or Resonance will know that this is a pretty big deal. Resonance will continue in safe hands (also pictured - Mr Peter Lancely examining the ground and not pictured Milo T-M).
But if anyone who sees this has reason to thank Ed I encourage you to contribute to his “retirement” fund. Link in bio (there’s 10 hours left).
PS. You all have reason to thank him, even if you don’t know it. Especially if you don’t.
Doing the Clovelly Swim on Saturday where they make you jump out of a boat and swim back to the harbour (Margot is doing full distance of 2 miles and me they will push out half way).
It’s raising money in aid of the RNLI so please give a few £ if you have too much and love people being bravely saved at sea.
I am not a strong swimmer.

A month tomorrow with my good, big son Leo Kolya Gibbs Umney. I predict that in 2023 he will grow bigger and better than any baby previously known.
Already a person of rare quality and a fine son to his ravishing mother.
I made a Radio 4 documentary about / with the natural phenomenon that is Peter Greenaway to celebrate his 80th birthday. I’d love for you all to listen to it - link in bio.
Peter Greenaway says “I enjoyed it” and I hope you will too.

I’ve been having a high old time in Mayfield doing interviews as a small part of @petertreherne ‘s extremely good, epic, rural-Sussex-Arthurian “Matter of Britain” project.
Please have a listen to the people who were kind enough to be pestered by us at matterofbritain.org
