Summer Solstice at Coldrum Long Barrow, Kent. This Neolithic site of burial and worship predates Stonehenge by 1000 years, built around 4000 BC.
Look what I found! Possibly the only recording of Xpress 2 broadcast live at Glastonbury 2002 on the Radio 1 stage. I remember recording this & being in tears of happiness/ sadness for not being there that year. Coming to a Mixcloud near you, the recording quality has lasted exceptionally well!
RAYE at London 02 Arena for the ‘This Album Contains Hope’ tour closing date last night
Please take a moment to watch this short film about the incredible work the PRS did to protect my Dad & Jo in their most challenging time. youtu.be/1kCCGM6Me_0?...
I got this DJ Magazine with Dad on the cover framed at the brilliant Peppercorn Frames in Headcorn. It has a special back that allows you to lift out the magazine to read it. Dad was really chuffed.
They took requests and the penultimate track was my favourite, getting to see Lazy Line Painter Jane was a treat and I sing very loudly about licking railings! 😂
A joyous ‘Boy With the Arab Strap’ by Belle and Sebastian from last night’s Royal Albert Hall gig, complete with stage invasion and fey dancing.
Here’s mine. I have no idea why it tickles me so much but it does. Maybe it’s the passive aggressiveness
Dave and Kano bringing generations together at the 02 last night. Kano finished with tears of happiness at the end of ‘Chapter 16’ Bucket list gig.
A few from my garden in 2025. Leopard moth, Elephant Hawk Moth, Clouded Border, another White Ermine. I’m getting an Elephant Hawk Moth tattoo next month.
The hare is in good company. With a detailed lithograph wildlife print from the wonderful Borg and an original watercolour of a sparrowhawk egg by Jim Moir. Yes, that Jim Moir.
Saw Fred Deakin’s interactive autobiographical show, ‘Club Life’ & it was superb. Hope he does Part 2 The Lemon Jelly Years.
If you ever want some Stonechat chat; I’m a member of our local village wildlife group and absolutely love all things wild bird/ wildlife related. On that note, look what I saw on the beach at Holkham yesterday! 😳
The turkey can get stuffed! Rare sirloin of beef for Christmas dinner this year
This week Dad moved into his new home with Jo. The home that was made possible because of all of you. Thank you so much for every person& donation who made this home happen. I spoke to Dad earlier today about The Move. He said, (after 2 years of acute hospital care then nursing home care), (TBC)
Thank you so much Tom, and thanks to your Mum. I really do love hares, both on and above my record player, as you can see!
