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
Hello all. We seem to have made it through another week in lockdown so let’s give ourselves a pat on the back for that. it’s challenging and we are all doing a great job. However we get through the week and whatever we do is alright. If you want to spend a day in your PJ’sRead more
Here we go again! Lockdown 3.0 started on Tuesday here in England. I did manage to get one evening in of live ballet classes with my primary-school-age children before resuming online from Tuesday which was lovely. A chance to reconnect with the children albeit briefly. Obviously, with lockdown 3.0 I haven’t been out and aboutRead more
2020 has been challenging for all. Work has been sparse for some and non-existent for others. Loneliness for many has become a real issue.

What a day. It was filled with emotion and joy. I can only liken it to how I must have felt as a small child. By the evening I was pretty much wiped out from feeling completely overwhelmed. All the messages, cards, phone calls, zoom chats and even socially distant curbside cake eating were amazingRead more
Happy New Year! In fact, it’s a new decade, isn’t it? How about that! In my last post, I mentioned how I don’t really go in for celebrating on New Year’s Eve. I much prefer waking up on New Year’s Day fresh and hangover free. So over the past 3 or 4 years, I haveRead more
Happy midwinter everyone! I always seem to be a bit delayed with posts of late. Life seems to get in the way of writing but I thought I would share a few photographs from my Christmas build-up and of course the big day itself. With Steve being away on tour around USA, Canada and MexicoRead more
New York is one of those cities that you never get tired of exploring. I have been lucky to visit four times over the course of my life and have never had the same holiday twice. The city, like so many others, is constantly changing and evolving which makes visiting so exciting. It’s been atRead more
