Welcome and hello,
I live in West Wales, United Kingdom and I occasionally read and record a few stories and put them on here, just for a bit of fun and if some of you enjoy listening that's fine with me.
Also, if you have a moment take a look at brother Richard's Cotswold Woollen Weavers on-line shop using the link below.
Thanks, Nick

All is fair and decent again! This morning I tried to see how much more content had been purloined by Mythicast Drama to find a blank page with a line from YT stating the channel's termination due to multiple complaints of copying content from others.
It wasn't the end of the world for me as I don't monetise this channel (hence no ads) but it was bare-faced cheek!
Thanks to all of you here that showed your unstinting support and appreciation - from all over the world!
Maybe it won't be the last time it happens but good to know that when it does, the system works well to put things right.
All the best Nick

Hello,
I don't often comment on here but I have just been alerted by a regular listener in Italy (thankyou) making contact via my brother Richard in Oxfordshire, that a new YT channel has popped up hosting some of the Wodehouse recordings that I have made for you on here.
This is just to let you know that the new channel is nothing to do with me and I have no idea who or what they are as there has not been any request for reproduction. That would have been polite. However I suspect that the channel is actually a machine - and they are not well known for manners or conversation!
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer we are having here in the top part of the ball and if you are from the lower bit, you have it all to look forward!
Stay with me and more will come.
Cheers

If anyone is interested in seeing some of this area of West Wales, here is a link to a video made by Crashbangbikers when I was invited to join them for a day out on the bikes up in the hills near Aberystwyth.

And a taste of the coast a little further South, with some lovely drone shots

Christmas is not far away now! So too is another of Mr Mulliner's tales, hopefully for tomorrow evening.
As you know all of the stories here are available free for anyone who wants to listen them. I have no desire or plans to change that but occasionally some listeners do ask if there is a way of contributing financially towards the channel. There is now a way! I have added the link 'Buy me a coffee' which if selected leads to their site where a small, variable and completely voluntary payment can be made. I should say that I am more of a tea drinker but I don't think that matters too much! And I can assure anyone who does find their way to do this, that I would be immensely grateful and appreciative.

Hello,
Recently my little channel here clocked up 2 million views and there is nobody more astonished than myself.
You see it wasn’t something that I set out to do, it just sort of happened. The thing started I suppose when I read and recorded a few Roald Dahl stories for the children, on cassette tape back then and later for the grandchildren on cd. Then discovering that it was quite easy to put them on Youtube, I recorded a few more Roald Dahl stories for easier access and thinking that other children may also like listening to them. It turned out they did and I had some very sweet comments from some of the regular listeners. That was before YT switched off comments on content made for children. Even the channel name was not intentional and just got copied over during registration from an old gmail account that I never used. However, it served a purpose and still does.
Then one of my dear sisters gave me a Wodehouse collection of short stories for Christmas and suggested I should try recording some. I’m not much of a lad for books, to quote the boy Bertie but I eventually read most of it and recorded Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit followed by many more over the last couple of years.
Why?
Is a good question!
Fame and Fortune?
Well, the constant recognition in the street and the lines of autograph hunters gets a bit weary after a while and there is zero money involved, so no its neither of those!
Maybe part of the reason is that I have grown to love the character Bertram Wooster and have enjoyed bringing him to life all these years later. Of course the world and society he lived in was a bit different back then but his qualities of unselfishness and general decentness work just as well now. I would make a guess that Britain now is a lot closer and more recognisable to Bertie than our country would be to me in a hundred years from now. Actually the way things are going, make that ten or twenty years. However, I do know many people dismiss these stories as dull and irrelevant tales of a frightful snob. Oh, what a treat they are missing! And a snob, he most certainly wasn’t.
The main reason though for continuing, albeit sporadically, to put up more recordings is that there are many of you that like to listen to them! The comments, either from regular listeners or one off have been so heartening and encouraging and have been a great driver to continue.
So all this is by way of saying a big thank you, wherever you are in the world, for all your support and lovely much appreciated messages.
Thank you!
Nick
Also at last, a new PGW story going up this Friday evening. A ghost story - well sort of!

Its been a quiet late summer for me story wise - just had not found the time to get down to it.
But shorter days are approaching and Bertie will soon be out and about again with more tales of scrapes and delight. I think all the compiled book form short stories have now been read but there are still plenty more available that were only seen as magazine stories - now around a century ago!
In the meantime, for younger listeners I have finally got round to reading, The owl who was afraid of the dark. Its a slow, gentle, old fashioned type of story. Quite long and may be needed in two or three dollops.

Merry Christmas, hope, love joy and happy times ahead for all!
If you have tuned in here for a story reading or two over the last year, thank you for following and all your comments. Its been fun doing it.
More recently I have been slow to get more stories up but having just gone through the three thousand subscribers count, maybe that's a sign to get cracking and get on with some more.
So 2021 with luck means more stories.
All the best
Nick

Its been a long, quiet spring!
But a few more amusing tales have been delivered on here with Bertie and Jeeves, oh and the occasional aunt!
And now finally, as we get back to normal, holidays to Wales can be resumed.
The horsebox glamping accommodation will be available again for booking from 1 August.
Just get in touch here or via Airbnb
Cheers Nick

Its been a wet start to the year but the snowdrops are here. Surely a sign that Spring is next!
Visitors to the cosy horsebox all through the winter come rain or storm and Bertie's life trundles on in New York with another tale from Carry On Jeeves
