Just celebrated releasing my first track You Just Might Try with some chai tea in my new Blondie mug...

The CD is also being made available in selected stores. The first to sell it is the La'l record shop in Bolton-le-Sands which is just off the A6 in the village. This is a terrific old school record store, with a fabulous atmosphere and great stock: tinyurl.com/yc296ubn

Out walking in blustery weather, this Little Egret landed next to me. Pottered about for a few minutes, then flew off.
