Today I began work on the CDs for the Fields of Dawn album. Whereas with the vinyl label where I went quite traditional, for the CD I have based the label on the cover design. It should look quite striking. I will post the master CD off tomorrow and then can sit back and wait
I arrived home tonight to find this wonderful gift in the post. I’ve made so many amazing friendships over the years following Mum’s bowel cancer diagnosis and all that followed as a result for me. I know one thing for sure, that Mum would be so happy that something so positive has happened to my
Sometimes you can have the most fascinating and rewarding experiences. I was at the final day of Henley Regatta today having an iced coffee with my friend as you do.

The news tonight of the death of the amazing Dame Deborah James is utterly devastating. This awful and cruel disease, bowel cancer, has taken yet another wonderful human being. My thoughts are with Deborah’s family tonight xxx I’m sure I will find the right words in time, but I am going to just leave it
I love this time of the year when the colours are so vibrant everywhere. I think May is my absolute favourite month, but driving around today it was so stunning.
