cancer fundraising
I was very pleased with myself last night, as I turned 4 lines of lyrics that I had about checking poo into a complete song. Well tonight it really has taken shape and I’ve made excellent progress and it’s sounding good! Guitars and bass all done with a guide drum rhythm beat, which basically leaves
When it comes to fundraising ideas, they usually come to me in an instant and I act on them impulsively. During bowel cancer awareness month I knew that this was a strong possibility. So, today I’ve decided to write and record a new Fields of Dawn music release Check Your Poo! to raise funds for
The last few days have been busy busy busy! The start of bowel cancer awareness month and what would have been my parent’s 62nd wedding anniversary. Big deals and had to take their rightful place in my journal posts. So going to see The Alarm in Leeds on Friday was slightly overshadowed. It’s weird because

The hydrangea cuttings from Mum’s plant have now been in the pot kept in my kitchen for two and a half weeks. The good news as you can see from the two photos is that they are still looking healthy and growing. I’m really hoping that these will take, and even if it means keeping
Last Friday I went to see The Alarm play live in London. My first gig in over two years and what a fantastic evening it was. Well what is the phrase about all buses coming at once. I have now booked up to see them in Leeds on Friday night, so I will head up
One of my favourite local landmarks is the Cobstone Windmill, famously known for being the windmill in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I drive past it most weeks as I cut through the back lanes to Junction 5 of the M40. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to get a couple of photos with the Life
