Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]

Saturday Snap – Santa Tractor

Pace’s first “big” word was “tractor” and we were so impressed, we bought a Christmas yard decoration that year to commemorate the milestone he’d reached earlier that year. Now I’ve set it up for Sasha and guess which word she repeated back to us today? Yep…

Music Monday – “Line one/Is the time/That you/You first stayed over at mine”

Here’s a set from a reunited Beautiful South at Glastonbury 2014’s “Introducing” stage (I guess being re-united qualified them?) featuring Shea’s and my first dance song at 4:30…
