Which is Gloucestershire's most scenic golf hole?

The 14th on Cleeve Hill has been nominated for the stunning view of the Racecourse and Cheltenham. However Stinchcombe has been mentioned as the best for these stunning views of Nibley Monument.

What do you reckon? Cummings@bbc.co.uk

Jason sent me this photo of his super-sized Camper van.

This is a converted 1973 Single Decker Bristol Bus...complete with solar panel, full shower, boiler, massive double bed, flat screen TV, full sized cooker and oh such much more. This beauty is based in Littledean and it might be making a European debut later this summer.

Keep the camper van photos coming in...one day I might get one...Cummings@bbc.co.uk

Phil Vickery was my guest throughout this week on breakfast. He talked about his life, his family and of course his rugby.

He revealed how he mentally prepared to go out onto the pitch

Feeling moody

Thanks to John for this moody winter "skyscape" with the silhouettes of the trees from Smallpox Hill this Wednesday morning.

I would love to publish any photos you have of this mild winter and early budding flowers...cummings@bbc.co.uk

Come on Cheltenham Town. Good luck to the Robins against Spurs this weekend and Gloucester up the road versus Worcester. We will have full reaction to both on Monday's show.

Rugby legend Phil Vickery will be on the programme all next week sharing his morning routine with us ...it's cracking stuff so don't miss it.

It will be a cold but refreshing bike ride for me this weekend...whatever you are up to have a good one and more treats on the blog next week.

New Year cheer

Happy New Year!

Reluctantly I've been persuaded to give you an early January laugh.

My 15 year old daughter thought it would be a good idea if the family wore identical Christmas day outfits...so here we go...a romper suit for all of us.

I have to confess it was rather snug!
