This is my latest creation. A black tie printed with the poppy logo of my favourite band, The Alarm. This is not for any kind of fundraising project and just a one off I’ve made for myself, and is in fact for an outfit I am currently working on just for little old me. I

I feel such a close connection with this Instagram post from @wearefeelgoodclub, which was brought to my attention by the wonderful Natalie Woodward. I am going through a period of change, especially when it comes to one friendship, which sadly seems to be slipping away, and for which I do take complete responsibility for. I

If yesterday was a time for taking a breath, today I’m right back on it with the launch of the pre-sale for the vinyl edition of my Fields Of Dawn cancer fundraising album, A New Dawn. You may think it strange that I seemed to have done an about turn since yesterday, and to some
And breathe… I took this slightly wonky panoramic photo at work at lunchtime as I was giving Prince his pit stop. I was struck by just how busy and full on life has been recently.
