Navy on the HMS Crumpet transporting cargo acros the globe. Yes! Before being plucked from obscurity by Huron City Radio, and then fading back into it once again, I travelled the world.
And you know there was a time when I was in Marrakesh, back in eighty eight. I was working a ship that was transporting tripe from the North of England to specialist restaurants in Cape Town. We had docked for a couple of days in Casablanca so I made the trip inland to Marrakesh..."

Uncle Walter's Year of Wonder. Near Lake Huron, in the Grey Water Area, Uncle Water recalls growing up in the 70's, before computers, before unsocial media, and before people forgot what was important.
July, the time of fireworks and celebration of a country's birth, but the land was here long before anyone had called it a name.
Walter and his friends are trying to stave of the boredom of the long Summer Holidays when they find something buried on the beach. It turns out to be nothing but his friend Thomas thinks he knows where real treasure may be buried.
Off they go to the woods, and find things that have been buried for a very long time.
Listen as Uncle Walter tells a July story about the land in which Walter and his friends discover something that had not bargained for.

June, when the days are long, and time seems to come to a standstill. Young Walter is struck by how time would take him from one end of the Summer holidays to the other, but how? What is time?

A tale of self-awareness, the passage of time, and where we are in it.
Listen as Uncle Walter tells a June story about discovering the mysteries of time and space for a sixteen year old. Featuring Marty Garavaglia as Uncle Walter.
