Music Monday – “Allow us to take you to the palm trees/Put your mind at ease Lay out in the sun Yuh feel the cool ocean breeze/Take a trip from Canada/I want all of us to go” @tasmanjude #ThePalaceLife

Twenty-four hours until we’re heading for the airport! Not sure how I first came across this groovy western Canadian reggae song (I think it was used for someone else’s travel montage video on YouTube?) but it’s become a staple of my “Tropical Holiday” playlist. The lyric version of this song is easier to understand… …but the live […]

Music Monday – “Remember me/Don’t let it make you cry/For even if I’m far away/I hold you in my heart/I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart” #ThePalaceLife

One week until we go to Mexico and the preparations are heating up (you’d think staying for two weeks instead of one simply means you pack twice as many bathing suits but unfortunately, that’s not the case!) Plus we’ve got a busy week ahead of us with a variety of appointments, meetings (though I found […]

Music Monday – “Down through Durango, Colima, Almiera/Then in the Manzanillo/Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico” #ThePalaceLife

Less than a month to Mexico… (And it’s like a time machine working through the versions of this song – from the original Hank Snow to the 80’s era Haggard-Willie duet to the more modern George Straight version with a video shot in Tulum – aka the only place that I have ever got really […]
