FOR GOD’S SAKE SADDLE ME A DONKEY
Radio New Zealand, National
Wake up with me, Dinah Priestley, travelling from Wellington to London in an accident-prone WW2 truck called Leviathan. Friends said to us “You are mad! Those toddlers of yours will be dead before you reach London.” But we were lucky.! We survived, with help from peasants and prostitutes, missionaries and maharajahs.

Burton’s Grand Tootling Tour
I wrote and broadcast this script a year ago. Its a commentary on Burton’s and my argumentative method of travelling through England and Spain. We travel in a more harem scarum way than most folks. We both love England and eventually Burton succumbed to the charms of Spain. This is more how not to travel than how to travel. Lovely music too.
