What does this really mean? Simply put, in business your connections reflect your influence – and often determine how far your products or services will reach. That includes our customers. When they buy from us and have a great experience, they become part of our network too, recommending us to friends, family and colleagues.
After a few months away from the business networking scene – and after finally walking away from a toxic day job – I decided it was time to refresh my business plan and commit to getting back out there.
Today I attended my first networking event in months: the GrowBiz Entrepreneurs Meet-Up in the Perthshire town of Auchterarder.
I’ve been supported by GrowBiz since 2019 and have always loved their events. They’re friendly, relaxed and genuinely welcoming. There’s always complimentary food and drinks, and at some of the more spectacular evening events we’ve even been treated to three-course buffets – all at no charge.
So yes, I was excited.
I woke up with a feeling I hadn’t had in a long time: looking forward to the day ahead instead of dreading it. No longer a slave to the day job, I was actually excited about heading north for a morning of connection and opportunity.
I’d done my prep:
• Planned my route on Google Maps
• Checked where the EV charging stations were
• Looked up the parking options
• Packed my book portfolio
• And tucked in my brand new business cards
I was ready to roll.
What I’d forgotten was just how challenging Scottish winter driving can be.
The first problem hit quickly: my screen wash nozzles had frozen. As the windscreen started to get coated in road salt, my despair grew just as fast. I pulled the spray lever – nothing. The wipers simply smeared the salt across the glass, dramatically reducing visibility on a country road where stopping wasn’t really an option.
I eventually pulled over at the first junction and had to make my first strategic decision of the day. I still had 35 minutes to get to the event, but my battery level was just over 50%, giving me around 50 miles of range.
My options:
• Turn back home, grab a bottle of water to clear the windscreen – using more battery and almost certainly arriving late.
• Give up, go home and cancel – and then sit with regret for the rest of the day.
• Carry on, trusting that at the Crook of Devon petrol station I could pick up water en route.
I chose to carry on.
As I drove through the remote Glendevon hills, range anxiety began to creep in. At 50% battery, my Mini had about 50 miles of range, and I wasn’t entirely sure I’d have enough to get back home.
Images of being stranded on the roadside for hours waiting for recovery started to float through my mind. I knew there was a charging station in Auchterarder – but would it be free? Would it be working?
I kept going regardless.
What was really happening, of course, was an inner resistance to change. When we move from the security of employment into the unknown, the mind will often do everything it can to pull us back to the familiar – even if that familiar is painful.
Pain and frustration with a salary can feel safer than freedom and possibility without one.
This is something I’ve often heard Jay Hastings of Serious About Success coaching services talk about – and there I was, living it in real time.
By the time I reached the main road into Auchterarder, my battery was down to 30%. That’s when I hit the next obstacle: the road was closed.
The sign cheerfully announced it would be closed for the next 32 weeks.
Despair made another appearance.
One of the workmen directed me back onto the motorway to follow the diversion signs. Once again, my windscreen had quickly became coated in road salt, so stopping again, I used some Highland Spring water to wash it down. With magical life force of its own, the bottle cap flew off, disappeared under the car, and for a moment I just stood there thinking, Really?
I was wearing my good trousers and didn’t exactly fancy crawling under the car. Fortunately, the cap was just within reach. Small win.
The motorway sign said “Auchterarder 4 miles”. At 30% battery I knew I had at least 20 miles of range – enough to breathe a little easier. Hope started to replace the despair.
When I finally arrived at the public car park, I was already five minutes late for the event. The first few charging stations I tried were either occupied or not working. Despair, again.
Then I saw one last charging station with a green to go light on, I raced to get the parking bay and plugged in. Relief washed over me as the car began to charge.
A bonus: the car park itself was full, but thanks to having an EV, I got a space at the charger. Sometimes the future does have perks.
Now I was ready to network – only 30 minutes late.
Aytoun Hall was just across the street from the charging point. I headed in and was welcomed by a friendly group of fellow entrepreneurs. Within minutes I’d introduced myself, started chatting, and begun learning about their businesses and stories.
I was especially grateful for the tea and biscuits after such a stressful journey – and reassured knowing the car would be fully charged for a relaxed drive home.
I met:
• Mark, who has started his own whisky distillery
• Gill, a Respite Carer
• Angie, a Brand and Marketing freelancer
We agreed on a few important things:
• It’s good to get out of the house and network.
• Hot-desking or working away from home can be refreshing, even if staying at home is cheaper.
• Human contact matters – especially when you can build genuine relationships and potential collaborations.
As the conversations flowed, all my earlier travel stress started to dissolve. It was replaced by a feeling of wholeness – a deep sense that I was exactly where I was meant to be, doing the work I’m meant to do, with the people I’m meant to meet.
Freelancing in media and books gives my life a sense of meaning and purpose that the day job never did.
You don’t get paid for networking, at least not directly.
But it is one of the most powerful ways to market yourself and your business. Once people get to know you, like you and trust you, they’ll share your details with potential customers. They’ll remember you when someone says, “Do you know anyone who…?”
Your network really does become your net worth.
I drove home with a renewed sense of achievement – a feeling I hadn’t experienced in months. The stress of the morning had transformed into connection and momentum.
I’m already looking forward to my next GrowBiz Christmas lunch event.
Is that really “working”?
Of course it is.
Because building relationships, showing up and being seen is at the heart of any successful business – and your network will always be a big part of your net worth.

STALKERS Book Launch
I’m delighted to announce the release of my latest book, Stalkers. A year in the making, the manuscript could not be completed until my final court hearing concluded. Further delays during formatting meant I missed my planned Halloween launch — fitting, as the story itself culminates on Halloween, Kinross-shire.
I chose to prioritize this project over my 30,000-word book on the mind, recognizing the urgent need to make this resource available to victims of stalking as soon as possible. Stalkers is a concise, focused work — a low-content book in structure but one born from necessity and purpose.
Stalking is a relatively new criminal offence and, disturbingly, one that continues to rise.
The crime was brought into legislation in Scotland, Great Britain, and across Europe largely thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr Ann Moulds CBE, herself a survivor of stalking and the founder of Action Against Stalking — the only dedicated charity I know that exists solely to support victims.
When people think of stalking, they often imagine the stereotype: a woman pursued by an obsessed man — perhaps a rejected lover or estranged partner. The reality, however, is far broader. Men can be stalked by women, men by men, and women by women. In my own experience — being stalked by another man, and knowing a woman stalked by another woman — neither of us found justice in the courtroom.
I wrote this book initially as a therapeutic exercise to help process trauma. Research shows that writing stimulates brain activity through hand–eye coordination, reducing stress and supporting healing. But beyond personal recovery, my deeper motivation was to help others — to give current and future victims hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
Some alarming facts:
• 11.8% of men and women in Scotland have experienced stalking.
• Across the UK, an estimated 1.6 million stalking cases are reported annually.
• 1 in 11 men in the UK will experience stalking in their lifetime.
• 25% of stalking victims report suicidal thoughts.
• In 76% of femicide cases, the victim had previously been stalked by the perpetrator.
• Victims typically report their stalker only after 100 incidents.
• Action Against Stalking receives around 50 new cases each month at the time of writing.
If you know someone who may be a victim of stalking or feels powerless against it, please share this pocket-sized book with them. It could quite literally save a life.
Riding into the Future: My Eovolt Afternoon e Bike Review
When I first laid eyes on the Eovolt Afternoon,I was struck by its unique charm. Its chunky Z-frame, solid build, and delightful desert sand color immediately caught my attention. But as they say, looks can be deceiving. This wasn’t just a bike with style—it was a marvel of practicality and performance, tailored for both urban adventures and rural escapes. Purchased from Winstanley’s Bikes in Wigan, England, this French-made folding e-bike has been a revelation in my cycling journey.
Built for Dual-Purpose Riding the Eovolt Afternoon is marketed as a dual-purpose bike, and it’s not hard to see why. Its wider-than-usual thick tires make it adept at handling both smooth city streets and uneven paths. Whether it’s cobbled roads, forest trails, or leafy bike paths, with its 20 inch full sized tires, the Eovolt Afternoon rises to the challenge with ease. The manual highlights its suitability for urban and mild off-road use, but I’ve found it excels even in rural terrains, like the rolling hilly back roads of Perthshire. The bike’s sturdy frame and wide tires provide excellent stability and traction on uneven paths, while the Shimano gears ensure a smooth ride up steep inclines.
Design: A Mini-Tank on Two Wheels
The bike’s solid Z-frame design exudes strength and reliability. The closest comparison I can make is to a little two-wheeled tank, or perhaps driving a Mini Cooper. It’s compact, sturdy, and charmingly robust. And then there’s the Transformer-like ability to fold down to a quarter of its size in under 10 seconds. This feature is a game-changer for me: I can fit two folded Eovolt Afternoons into my Mini without needing a bike rack. This portability makes the bike ideal for commuters needing compact storage or travellers looking to explore new places without the hassle of a bulky setup.
Battery and Performance
A key feature of any e-bike is the battery, and Eovolt has nailed it with this design. The battery, cleverly integrated into the seat post, can be removed for indoor charging or safekeeping. With a range of 50 miles and a full recharge time of approximately six hours, the battery provides consistent power for my weekly rides. Importantly, its secure connection ensures that power isn’t disrupted on bumpy roads—a significant improvement over other e-bikes I’ve owned.
The Shimano 7-speed gears are another standout feature, offering the versatility needed to tackle steep hills and rougher terrains. This gearing, combined with the bike’s power assist levels, ensures smooth and efficient rides, even in challenging conditions.
Practical Features
The Eovolt Afternoon comes with thoughtful additions that make it ideal for both commuting and leisure rides. Its solid metal mudguards and sturdy pannier rack enhance its utility, allowing me to carry shopping bags or even pack for a weekend tour, and the anti-puncture tires offer anxiety-free biking adventures.
Accessories
Like my Garmin Radar, Garmin Explore GPS, and Rock Bros soft top box with fold-away panniers further enhance the bike’s practicality.
Despite weighing over 20 kilos, the bike’s robust build feels like a worthwhile trade-off for its durability and versatility. For flat terrain, I’ve found keeping the power assist at the lowest setting works just fine.
Cons to Consider
No bike is perfect, and the Eovolt Afternoon has its drawbacks. The paintwork is prone to flaking, particularly around the nuts securing the side stand. The lack of suspension might be a concern for some, though the thick tires absorb most shocks effectively. The single front LED light and small power assist buttons—which require removing winter gloves to operate—are minor inconveniences.
Finally, while it’s not a Smart bike (there’s no accompanying app), I’ve come to appreciate this simplicity. It means fewer chances of tech failures interrupting a ride.
Value for Money
Priced at £1,800 from Winstanley’s Bikes (with an option to upgrade to Shimano brakes and Schwalbe tires for an additional £400), the Eovolt Afternoon offers excellent value. Its build quality, versatility, and features rival those of more expensive e-bikes.
Opening Up a New World
This e-bike has transformed my cycling experience. Whether commuting to the next village, boarding the Edinburgh city trams, or exploring Scottish Highlands like Loch Katrine or Loch Rannoch, the Eovolt Afternoon has proven to be a reliable companion. It also excels when peddling through historic sites like Culross’s medieval salt mines, adding a sense of adventure to every ride. It’s also introduced me to a thriving social scene of e-biking enthusiasts, opening doors to new friendships and shared adventures.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a London city cyclist or a rural e biker, the Eovolt Afternoon is a bike that delivers on its promises. Its practicality, solid construction, and versatility make it a worthy investment for anyone seeking a folding e-bike. While not without its flaws, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. For me, it’s been the most ultra-practical bike I’ve ever owned, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me next.
Web Design Project for Shieldbank Coffee Shop
After a few years of carrying out Voluntary media content, I recently was given the opportunity to create and design a website for Shieldbank Coffee Shop in Saline, Fife, Scotland. It was a totally unexpected opportunity and I grabbed the chance at once. At first I was going to build the site using WordPress (of course!) but discovered the client was already subscribing to IONOS. I very quickly realised how easy it is to create web sites with IONOS and immediately started shooting photos for content. I had a lot of food photography to shoot seeing as food and drinks are the main products being sold. I also dusted the dust off my quadcopter and was pleased to get some aerial shots.
After 23 hours I had the site ready to go live and was very satisfied with the finished site. So much that I have decided to offer this service to more clients in future.
Don’t give up on Learning
Spring is in the air and so is the birth of a new chapter in life long learning. I have just recently embarked on a certificate course in IT Support.
Previously as a customer service agent, I had been offered the opportunity to apply for a job in the IT Support department – however, this would involve having to sell up and move to London. After doing some quick sums, I realized that although my wages would increase, the cost of living would also increase to the point where I would just be working to pay my bills and have nothing left over. The negatives outweighed the positives and I decided to withdraw my application.
I didn’t foresee that in the not too distant future I could have the best of all worlds, I could find a new day job, run my Mindful Relaxation Wellbeing classes, helping my local community with a much more fulfilling variety of work, including working on my publishing business. Now to me, if all goes well, this would be my dream state of being – AND – I don’t need to move. Better to work for yourself rather than some CEO lazing in his London penthouse suite, getting paid millions to spend his day organizing meetings about having meetings.
I find that IT is one of the most challenging areas to study and work with – it requires having the ability to somehow translate computer technology into simple English so that things work. It requires spending much time researching in order to understand. IT problems causes stress and anxiety and can result in a person’s life grinding to a halt if the technology solution is not there.
I have found that this course is not easy, the learning curve for me is so steep, you could paraglide off the top of the apex. So much jargon that doesn’t mean anything to me, so many target pass marks that need to be obtained in order to gain the certificate. I was quite overwhelmed by how much information needs to be read and understood, so much so that I wanted to give up after the first night.
Taking a leaf out of my own course notes, I had to stop overthinking this, pull back, take a break from reading jargon, have a cup of tea and re-think. Then the realization came.
If I can just learn one thing from this course that will help me with computers that’s enough, my expectations will not result in disappointment. Being honest and upfront with yourself and others is the best way to go. I immediately informed my tutor of my true feelings about the course to let her know what I’d like to get from the course. I’m sure she’ll appreciate my honest communication and I’m glad I’m not quitting too soon.
NEW BOOK!!
STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESS
For 2023 I am pleased to announce work has started on the next book. My genre is Mind Body Spirit because these are the types of books I like to read and buy.
So the next book topic will be on the subject of Mind.
Producing a 30k word book takes a long time. My initial project was going to be a Self Help book which I estimate would have taken me approximately 3 weeks to write and it would have been for sale on Amazon by now – BUT – this topic failed to pass Proof Of Concept. So I had to go back to square one and start again.
I have my new topic and having to work a day job, and volunteer and various other duties, research is going to take me much longer than anticipated. I do try to spend at least one hour each day getting some research done. Once the bulk of the research has been carried out, and if I can write 30k words or more I can then proceed to passing the manuscript to the editor for the next stage in the process.
In my opinion there are 3 types of Writer. There are writers who just love to write and do not care if the book sells. There are writers who write books purely to make money – they may not even have an interest in their book subject but they know that topic will sell. And there’s the 3rd type of writer who enjoys writing their book and wish to only write books that will sell. This is the category I think I would fall into – this time but not perhaps in future. The nice thing about being a publisher is you can organize a book by pulling in a team of researcher, ghost writer, editor and book cover designer – so you are managing a project for a book that you may even have not much interest in.
NEW BOOK LAUNCH THIS MONTH!
This book is as the title suggests, a workout routine for people who don’t have time to go to the Gym. It’s a routine that you can do at home, in the office or even on holiday.
The exercises which last approximately 30 minutes also includes your warm up and warm down exercises too, and there’s an extra Mind Body Spirit Bonus section included which complements your physical workout.
All you ever need to invest in is a pair of hand held weights, an exercise / yoga mat for your back techniques and that’s it!
If you’re on a budget this could be the little pocket book for you!!
Available now on Amazon as an e book or paperback
We’re Upgrading!!
Well followers, it’s that time of year when you’re old camera gear is starting to look a bit too long in the tooth – you’re competitors are making vlogs about their fancy new 2020 cameras and they are looking forward to impressing their clients with the best dressed kit!!
We now live in a world where camera gear is obsolete within the year and we are under pressure to keep up with the pack. In the last two years I’ve seen myself go through both Panasonic and Olympus kit, each time thinking “this is the ONE!!!” but soon after, a new improved piece of ‘must have’ tech comes out and you feel a little disheartened after just investing large sums of money on what you thought would be ‘in vogue’ for at least another 5 years.
So – I’ve been looking around the net to decide on which brand to invest in next, as there’s just so many. I decided that this time I want to go “BIG BIG BIG” as opposed to my previous ‘small is best.’
I’ve tried most brands of camera except the Fujifilm range – however as this year most of my projects are more moving image oriented – I feel the Fuji range is more ergonomically suited to still image capture rather than video. Fuji cameras have that retro photography camera design and feel.
So I’ve narrowed it down to 3 brands – the Sony A7III – the Canon C70 and the Panasonic S1.
They all have their advantages. The Canon C70 has all the audio ports built in so no need to add a cage to strap on your mic. The Sony A7III (described as a computer with attached lens) has the fancy and useful flippy out screen (loved by all vloggers,) and the Panasonic has a fantastic full frame sensor with its defocus to focus system utilising the Leica SL mount lens mount.
The Canon is the most expensive of the Top 3 Video cameras however, if you’re serious about movie making and you want to come across as a Professional on set, then you want to be seen using the Canon C70 which will induce instant respect and awe from all clients and bystanders alike.
BIG is indeed BEAUTIFUL as they say and I can’t but help accept defeat on this arguement. As I write this I can only stare at pics of these magnificent big beasties while salivating, trying to decide which one to go for!!
Christmas is coming!! And perhaps there may be some bargains to have in the seasonal sales towards the end of 2020. I can’t wait!!
Only thing is, in 2021 my newly obtained prize camera will be obsolete once again…….c’est la vie – damned if you do and damned if you dont!!
e Life
If you’re looking for something different to enhance the quality of your mind body and spirit then e Biking may just be for you.
I’m still a relatively newbie when it comes to e bikes but in this article I’m going to explain why I decided to join this global community and why I chose a particular brand.
I’ve had bicycles and motorcycles my whole life and have always had a passion for two wheels. I had been out of motorcycling for a few years and after watching many youtube motorcycle reviews, could feel myself being pulled back in. The problem being that I don’t have a garage and in Scotland, you really need to keep a motorcycle garaged to protect it from the winter elements. I wanted to experience the joy of motorized two wheeled transport again but I needed a bike I could physically pick up and keep indoors.
The solution was an e bike. I started to realise how many advantages an e bike has over a conventional motorbike. Because of the weight factor, I would be able to take the e bike on a train or tram and really adventure much further a field. From the social aspect I could join the Cycle Touring Club and meet other cyclists and join up for cycling holidays. I would also have the motivation to explore places I had never been to before, locally and in the central belt areas.
As a form of exercise, an e bike would help me burn off much needed calories and enable me to go on much longer rides as e bikes are designed to help eat up any hills on a road trip.
I wanted to combine e biking with my passion for vlogging and photography and I would be able to start producing e bike tour vlogs on youtube, encouraging others to take up biking and visit new places of interest in central Scotland.
I also felt it was time that I join the 21st century and invest in my first electric vehicle, which would help save the planet and help me cut down on my car fuel prices which are just rocketing.
Once I had made the firm decision to commit to purchasing an e bike I had to spend many hours researching for the right brand as I knew nothing much about electric bikes. I narrowed the search down to a road runner style bike rather than a mountain off roading bike or an electric Tricycle.
Being an x motorcyclist I at once was attracted to the new Triumph Trekker GT which had just come out this year. I wanted to do something to support the motorcycle industry and as I had never owned a Triumph motorcycle, I wanted to join the Triumph community. I was attracted to the bike’s slim design and beautiful color scheme – it is most definitely a lovely looking machine! I had to commute through to the branch in Edinburgh to collect the bike, and then started teaching myself how to make the thing go.
An e bike is quite simple to operate, some have a twist grip that allows you to just go on electric power and many just give you power assist when you pedal. One advantage an e bike has over a conventional motorcycle is that if you do run out of power on the road, you can at least cycle your way to your destination and charge up the battery.
After adding all the accessories, my maiden test voyage was going up the hills of Milnathort and you can imagine my amazement of cycling up steep hills effortlessly – the torque of an e bike is insane.
As I write this, I am one of Scotland’s first owners of the Trekker GT and I soon went about shooting a couple of vlogs on youtube to explain how to operate the bike and my first impressions. I then tried doing my first weekly shop on the Trekker which was a return trip to Cowdenbeath. I did work out that I was saving approximately £5 a week on fuel costs by making most of my shorter trips on two wheels. Out of all the bicycles and motorcycles I’ve owned, I can say the Trekker GT is the best bike I’ve ever experienced.
My future plans are to produce an e bike tour vlog on Loch Leven to highlight some of the cafes, farm shops and places of historical and ornithological interest that e bikers and cyclists can make pit stops at. I’d also like to experience taking the e bike on the train into Edinburgh to see if this could be a viable alternative to commuting by car. And I’d like to do a cycling holiday in Harris, Outer Hebrides, as it’s the perfect destination for e bikes with those terrific hills and breath taking scenery.
I’ll finish by saying what e bikers said to me before I caught the bug – If you haven’t tried it, you’ve got to try it!!
UFO Debriefing
The UFO Show Scotland last weekend was a great success. Put together at the last minute, I wanted to do some kind of media project to commemorate 25 years of the famous Falkland Incident which occurred in 1995, Fife, Scotland. I also wanted to get the broadcast out on Saturday 6th June 2020 as this was to be the weekend of the Scottish Ufo and Paranormal Conference, sadly cancelled due to lock down.
There is currently one web page still on line regarding the Falkland incident and I wanted to produce something more, to act as a kind of time capsule, a resource for future researchers and truth seekers.
I decided to do a Live Stream show concentrating on 3 of Scotland’s most interesting Close Encounters of the 3rdKind – namely the Bob Taylor Dechmont Classic case, the Falkland incident and the Blairgowrie incident.
My chosen formula was to do a virtual tour of each location and complimented with a more detailed report from Ron Halliday, a renowned Scottish Paranormal Investigator and Author of several books on the subject.
I was blessed with good weather during the 4 day shoot and on one visit to Falkland, had to do a hill walking trek just to get one shot of a landing location. I had 6 days to shoot and edit enough content for a one hour live broadcast.
The show ended up being one hour and thirty eight minutes in duration. There were many ‘raconteurs’ as I coin our online contributors. The beauty of live stream is that it’s interactive. The viewers can comment and ask questions to each other and the presenter using the comments box.
Ron Halliday was able to join us during the broadcast and did a sterling job answering the viewer’s questions and comments.
I started off by giving my own opinions about the UFO / Alien question. I have been interested in this subject for over 40 years. During the 90’s I enjoyed travelling down to Sheffield and Leeds in England to attend the big UFO conventions with some of my Scottish colleagues. I did work on some video productions which were used by Scottish researchers as part of their presentation materials.
I enjoyed listening to headline speakers such as Budd Hopkins – the alien abduction guru. During the 90’s it was a golden era of ufo abduction books, documentaries and movies. It was also a golden era (pre digital) of the ufo channellers. These were psychic mediums who were able to be the voice of extra terrestrials from other worlds such as the Ashtar Command. On Sundays, my friends used to meet in a house and after enjoying a fantastic vegetarian meal, would sit and listen to audio tapes of the ufo channellers.
Although I’ve never personally witnessed a flying saucer or aliens, my conclusions about the phenomenon were:
- Weird Shit happens
- UFOs are real, they have been captured on photographic plates, video, radar and have been reported by credible witnesses such as pilots and police officers
- The phenomenon is temporary, much in the way Taoism describes reality – we are manifest on this world and then we are unmanifest
- As science now accepts the holographic theory of reality, I mentioned a scene in the Matrix Reloaded movie where the Oracle describes UFOs and Ghosts as ‘software errors’ in the Matrix which shouldn’t really be here. This may be why the phenomenon is temporary and then simply disappears. This may also explain why in 70 years since the classic Rosewell Crash story of 1947, there has never been any physical evidence / proof of a craft from outer space in a museum for us to examine.
- And finally I made reference to the Children’s 80’s TV series Chocky, which was based on the book by John Wyndham. This is the story of an extra terrestrial who contacts a young boy and is able to project it’s mind as a hologram that the boy can see and hear. Chocky’s mission is to advance the boy’s knowledge of science and the arts. It was developed into 3 TV series, continuing with Chocky’s Children and Chocky’s Challenge. Many of these shows are available on Youtube to watch. To me the idea of telepathic communication is the most likely form of contact between humans and extra terrestrials as the distances to cross space in a metal ship are just too huge. Again these are my own opinions, and during the show I welcomed any of the viewers to voice their opinions of what they thought.
So this was my first Ufological media project in over 25 years, and I was very much enjoying the whole process of gathering content then sewing it together into 8 short videos for the live stream.
The Falkland incident involved a family encountering the typical Grey entities who were standing by a black triangular shaped Ufo. One of the main researchers of this case was Malcolm Robinson of Strange Phenomena Investigations and he has written about his research into the Falkland Incident in his books available from Amazon.
The Blairgowrie incident involved a family witnessing strange unmarked black helicopters over their house and seeing men in black walking up their neighbours path, complete with the gate opening ‘magically’ by itself.
The Dechmont Incident with Bob Taylor is Scotland’s Classic Ufo story, where by Bob was attacked by two strange spherical entities that emerged from a semi translucent saucer type craft in the Dechmont Woods area of Livingston, West Lothian. Malcolm Robinson’s book on this particular case is also available.
After the show I received many positive comments from the viewers on the show’s content and it was very gratifying indeed! I look forward to doing another Ufo Live Stream show next year, perhaps an outside broadcast from the 2020 Scottish Ufo Conference would be an exciting project to work on.
To watch the show you can find it on my Youtube Channel: Vincent Anthony Media. If you would like to find out more about the Scottish UFO scene then you can contact the following organisations / researchers here:
