Old dog, new tricks

Old dog, new tricks

So last weekend Rocksey and I went  to see a sold out show of Seasick Steve.Rocksey moaned for 6 months prior to the gig that it wasn’t his sort of music, he moaned the evening of the show, during the show, after the show and on the way home the next day. However all this week he has been hiding away in the studio at the back of the house where he thinks no one has noticed or can hear what he is…

The story of Burr from Wyoming

The story of Burr from Wyoming

My dad has a friend called Burr. They didn’t start out as friends but were thrown together due to their shared love of music. Burr is 92 years old and as fit as a fiddle. Originally from Wyoming, Burr was stationed on the park when he was a GI in WW2.

Una Boda Gotica

This weekend we had the great fortune to attend the wedding of two lovely people whom we met by chance last summer. The band had been invited to play at a festival last June and although the venue was a bit of a headache to get to, Rocksey agreed as there were other bands playing that we hadn’t met on previous occasions as well as long standing friends from other bands that we were looking…

A meeting of minds, shoes and Jenny Packham wedding gowns

We all think we are unique in this world don’t we, even when we choose our partners and friends whose shared interests and views spark against ours and a bond is formed. Sometimes these bonds form over years, some over a few minutes, a conversation, a throw away comment, a reach out for the same magazine or chocolate bar at the corner shop or petrol station, we instantly recognise at that moment…
