I had Dad’s old regatta umbrella with me, and I was wondering if I would actually need it… I settled into my deckchair for the afternoon racing and the ominous dark clouds were gathering. When they decided
Henley Regatta was one of the events that Dame Deborah James loved to attend. When I saw her make it to Royal Ascot last week I allowed myself the hope that she might make it to Henley too. Sadly that wasn’t meant to be. We never managed to meet up at the regatta. I think

The debut album from my music project Fields of Dawn was released in September and has raised over £900 so far. A New Dawn is available on vinyl, CD and digital download.
Tomorrow I will be heading north to Leeds to stay with my brother this weekend. It is unlikely to have the same level of excitement as my last trip 6 weeks ago, which saw me visiting the King Power Leicester City ground on the way up and then to Leeds United’s Elland Road Stadium with
I have spent the last couple of days doing the finishing touches to the Fields of Dawn album. Not without unexpected niggles, which resulted in me deciding to do a final remix of the No Man’s Land track. However, the biggest and most fiddly task is getting all the tracks at the same volume. I
