Whitby

Having returned from another fantastic week in Whitby I have been reflecting on the whole time we spent there. It was truly wonderful to share with close friends a week of music talks walks meals laughter and more and more music. We held a party for our friends J and N who met a year ago, our musician friends played so magically, entertaining our ever expanding friends including the lovely neighbours. they played music until darkness fell then it was time to go join other friends for more music.

I was delighted to be asked to write some lyrics for a very talented young musician who then performed his piece the following evening to great acclaim. I feel he has a great future ahead of him and hope to write more as requested.

Hexham

What a beautiful town.     enjoyed a few days with my lovely daughter Carole son in law Rich and grandchildren Kara and Luke. Hexham Abbey is awesome. Carole and I enjoyed a deeply emotional evensong on the 31st July the eve of her Birthday at Hexham Abbey.

On the 1st August we travelled to Angel of the North together then on to Durham Botanical Gardens, Carole wanted to see the century flowering cactus. We enjoyed our time together, unfortunately, Kara could not come as she was working but we were all together in the evening.

Carole;s Birthday cake was delicious apparently,  Kara and I had gluten free chocolate cake which was scrumptious.

Bonnie Raitt

Went to Bonnie Raitt concert at the Empire Theatre Liverpool last night, what an amazing performer and her band is extraordinary. Will definitely go see them again.

Tonight I hope to view the biggest moon, nearer to the earth than it has been for years,so here’s hoping!

A beautiful tree in our garden has blown over and been destroyed by the gales this evening, cracked and felled, only roots remain-so cruel and sad to see such destruction.

Poem

Today I have finished editing a poem which I wrote a couple of years ago. Following a conversation with a friend following her personal trauma I was so moved following our talk I drove home and wrote the poem. Did not mention it to her until last week and she has requested it. I will not publish it here but it will be in my book when I publish.
