JFK inaugural speech, 20 January 1961
I thought it would be apposite to look back to the values America espoused at the beginning of the 1960's.

Yes, I know I am British, but it's the message JFK put out to the world. It's the words which matter.

Bram Stoker - The Judge's House
Stoker's classic story of the old Judges house.

In “The Judge’s House” by Bram Stoker, Malcolm Malcolmson, a student seeking solitude to study, rents an old, abandoned mansion in a small town, ignoring local warnings about its dark past. The House once belonged to a notorious judge known for his harshness, and strange occurrences soon disturb Malcolmson’s peace, particularly the eerie presence of rats. As Malcolmson delves deeper into his studies, he is haunted by a giant rat with unsettling, human-like eyes that seem linked to the Judge’s malevolent spirit.

Apologies for some of the pronounciation. As you may hear, my Welsh pronounciation is not top notch. But far more prevelent, is my lack of ability pronouncing English.

This is a bit of a poor read but my throat was sore. I'll probably rerecord it but I didn't want to let anyone down.

A.M. Burridge - Smee
In the second Christmas Ghost story we enjoy a game of 'Smee'. Twelve friends playing a hide-and-seek type game inside a huge, dark house, and then suddenly – there is this mysterious thirteenth player that hides with them!


Alfred McLelland Burrage (1889–1956) was a British writer. He was noted in his time as an author of fiction for boys which he published under the pseudonym Frank Lelland, including a popular series called "Tufty". After his death, however, Burrage became best known for his ghost stories.
'Smee' takes place one Christmas and is about a game with more than an opportunity for another player. A hide and seek, where the hidden is often so for a reason.
