Music & Sunday..





well for me they go hand in hand . I wake at weekends and put on the radio for the first hour of both Saturday and Sunday , this is where I hear the clips of new music played and then I can indulge my passion by researching the artists and hearing more. This was how I discovered Bombay Bicycle Club a current favourite and also Michael Kiwanuka who could be a real find !
I found these fab pictures of the Fab Four the other day and whilst never being an avid Beatles fan I got to thinking that somehow we all probably have a favourite tune that belongs to them ! Mine - "And I love Her "which comes from A Hard Days Night album and then another that I can just sing along to the moment I hear it is "Hey Jude" , perhaps even now you are thinking of your own particular favourite

Reflections.............




a very cold frosty but beautiful winters weekend .So armed with new camera a practice session has taken place - not just a case of pointing and shooting I am met with an array of dials and knobs that can be twisted and turned to take advantage of all lights and shades and believe me this is only a slightly up from complete no need to do anything camera ! I wonder will I venture into another of my half finished projects - photography classes sound somewhat appealing and we all like to feel arty at times I think . A favourite canal side walk provide the material for this post , and , I must secretly admit I love the reflections .

Watching Films..........



Well after the excitement of New Years Eve I had a date with the sofa yesterday and spent an enjoyable afternoon watching one of my favourite old black & white movies .
Roman Holiday - stars Audrey Hepburn - a real style icon oh so chic ! and Gregory Peck - well he is suave and just downright handsome !I have watched this film so many times but it never fails to hit the spot and I still cry copiously in all the same places .But , that is what movies are all about you can just be transported to another time and place and be completely and utterly lost in the moment - love it !!
