I’m collecting red ribbon brooches
Not the fabric ones. I’ve started to look out for the enamel lapel brooches that are red ribbons and usually representing HIV/AIDS awareness. This is my latest one. I’ve seen the real Swarovski version of this for sale at £350, but this has to be a copy at just £5.90 on Amazon.

Another box frame and a re-think
I noticed the same deep shadow box at The Range that I had seen on Amazon, and since it was priced the same, I decided to purchase one. It’s slightly larger than the one from Hobbycraft, and this particular one has a white finish with a wooden embroidery design incorporated into the door frame. I…

Poppy Brooches on display
Today I took a trip out to IKEA and Hobbycraft, ooh and McDonald’s. In Hobbycraft I bought a deep box display frame with door. Then I need some foam board and plain black fabric. That was the frame built and ready for the handful of Poppy lapel pin badges and brooches.

I love the TV show: The Traitors
This series of The Traitors (UK, series 3) has been the best so far. It has been so intense. I’ve loved every minute of it. I really wanted Freddie to win, but he didn’t. The final was amazing. I’ll not let on in case anyone reading this is watching the series but hasn’t got around…

Bluetooth adapter
Late in the evenings or even in the early hours of the morning, I sometimes like to sit up and watch TV, but I don’t want the sound to blast through the house, even if I’ve closed my door. To solve this problem, I bought myself a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver on Amazon, which was quite affordable….

Bluetooth Headband
Okay, this might be my third pair, but it’s only because I use them regularly and don’t wash them. They’re incredibly comfortable to wear to bed, whether you prefer talk radio, soft, gentle music, white noise, or other sound effects. They’re simply amazing. However, if you get a pair, be warned: don’t tap the centre…

New Mic For The Mac
I recently got a desktop microphone for my Mac Studio, because I’ve been having a bit of a problem. I can’t seem to use my iPhone as a webcam and mic for things like Teams, Zoom, and FaceTime all of a sudden. And guess what? I just found out that Apple pulled the plug on…

“The biggest loss in my life that is… my dear father. He continues to live on inside of me: with his laughter in my mind and his love in my heart. Broken and lost, I spend the never-ending task of picking up the pieces… and re-living some of my most cherished memories that have Dad in them.” ~ Wayne

This section of the website is a tribute to those who have been near and dear to me during their life but have now passed on.

On Saturday 6th November 2021, Jezz and I got married. It was also a celebration of Jezz’s 50th birthday and our 21st anniversary.

This page has links to almost all the mini-videos that I have created over the years. Some are humorous, some nostalgic or feature a particular event, and some are in memory of a loved one.

This page is all about the cars that I have either had the privilege to drive or ones that I have owned or co-owned. Some of the photos are of the actual car but of the ones where I didn’t take a photo at the time, I have had some fun trying to find one that best matches the car.

Here’s a page of photos created from using an iPhone app called Halftones that started a trend of photo editing in comic strip style, just for a laff.

waynealton.com has its own recommendations page: if there’s a business you’re after, then have a look to see if we used a company in the same line of work from someone… if they were fab, they’ll be on this page!

New in 2024, Wayne lists his favourite songs of all time.

We would like to remind our infrequent visitors of the “Previous Quotes” page. Some folk have contributed to waynealton.com over the years without even knowing it! The Previous Quotes page is all about wacky, hysterical, inappropriate and even beautiful statements that have been said by mostly those near and dear.

My fascination of the underwear brand Step One has meant that I have collected over 90 pairs since I bought my first pair, 12 April 2022. So far, my collection has cost £1,323.86, but if you include the pairs I’ve bought for Jezz as well, the grand total is ££3,008.82, as of January 2025.
I’m in love with my underwear… what can I say?
