Rick Edwards (Heart FM Presenter)

Local Radio,

rickGreetings from sunny Devon! Oh sorry my mistake, not quite so sunny is it? Hmmm never mind at least its warm…..ish

I’m Rick Edwards and having moved here to work on the radio 6 years ago I am still loving every minute of life in the west country. When I’m not giving it some Heart at drivetime you can find me doing all kind of things in and around Torbay. A friend of mine is a proud owner of a boat and I love nothing more than bobbing around in the bay or cruising down to Dartmouth and having a picnic on the river.

One of the best things about Devon is the variety of food and drink establishments and of course the cream teas. When the weather permits I like to go up on to the moor and go walking and end it all with a nice cup of tea in somewhere like Widecombe in the Moor.
Actually, I have changed my way of life from pitching up in every curry house in the TQ postcode to doing things like visiting Becky Falls, coastal walks, going to James Blunt concerts, arghhh its happening miheartddle age!! I was planning a whole load of DIY projects this summer including big garden makeover, paint the house, etc but fortunately that is one thing the weather has done me a favour with.

One thing I am back into big time is classic cars. After a break of some years I am now a fully fledged petrol head and looking forward to saving up for an old car to spend loads of time hanging out of the engine with and polishing on a Sunday morning. Just reading this back I have suddenly realised… I am changing into my dad!

Join me for drivetime every weekday from 4 on Heart 96.4FM and drop me an email via www.heart.co.uk

Have a great summer and give it some Heart
