This is a bit shaky cam but I haven’t posted this amazing Christmas song for a few years so I thought I’d do so with a different version that’s even more fun than the original… “White Wine in the Sun” – Tim Minchin

My 10 Favourite Christmas Songs

I’ve posted a lot of Christmas songs over the years, mostly as Music Monday posts, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried to make a list of my favourite Xmas songs, at least until now. So what makes a great Christmas song in my mind? Weirdly with how joyful the season is, my favourites mostly […]

At the time, I made a Music Monday […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Still A Favourite Halloween Memory

This is still one of my favourite Halloween memories of all time. When Pace was around five years old, he was really into Bat-man.  He had his costume all picked out so the night before Halloween, I figured out a great way to surprise him. I did a quick late night trip to the nearest pop-up […]
