HAPPY New Year to you all, especially the lovely readers who have called by at my website paulcoletravels.com in the past 12 months. It’s been great to meet you – thank you for your valuable time.
I note that the site has now been read in 183 different countries across the globe since I posted my first words back in the depths of the October 2020 pandemic lockdown.
So here’s a delightful video that marries my love of writing with memories of good, old-fashioned journalism and memorable movie magic up on the big screen. Enjoy!
It’s The Typewriter (Supercut) from Ariel Avissar on Vimeo. Thanks to fellow blogger Brian D Butler for bringing it to my attention in his always excellent daily Travel Between The Pages blog.
That typewriter pictured at the top of this post was the first machine I used as an apprentice reporter on the Stockport Express 50 years ago next week, passed on to me by good friend and feature writer Iain Meekley!
