About Me

Well here I am.. a thirty-something yr old grrl from the UK: getting here has meant singing, guitar playing, loving, drinking, partying and working damn hard too!I've done things I'm not so proud of - and some that really make me pleased to be who I am..... guess that makes me kinda average eh?More? Well ... by day I'm working hard to save the planet, and by night playing hard at keeping house, garden & friendships together .. what more could I ask for !!I still sing whenever I get the chance (shower, karaoke or just in the car) - but need to pick up the guitar again (...sheesh.. it'll be painful).Where next.. hmmm.. that's what I'm thinking!I'll let you know.

Did the earth move for you?

Sat in Manchester today... the airport again, rather than the city itself. It is a flying visit so I guess it's appropriate... I'm quite used to sharing my evenings now with holidaymakers.. either fre...

No.8’’s coming up.. ho hum!

It's a grey, murky Saturday today.. not much of note to note - but a quiet weekend at least is welcome. It's been a busy week - Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and London this week - and on call too.....
