It’s been a funny old week here. Firstly, I have been on my own as Steve has been working away. Don’t panic! It’s all within the Covid laws – testing and a work bubble has been created. Professional musicians are allowed to rehearse which has meant that for the whole week I have been atRead more
I don’t know about you but I eat peanut butter every day in some form. Be it spooned onto my morning porridge, whizzed into a smoothie, whipped into frosting, or simply on some toasted sourdough after I finish my online ballet classes. For me it provides comfort plus it helps it’s darn delicious. It’s theRead more

It had to happen but why with less than a week to go? Why not last week when people could switch up/cancel plans/food deliveriesRead more
