We’re writing to you from a special watery bolthole on the magical estuary of Wrabness – hunkering down in a friend’s beach chalet for a weekend of good food, rest and recuperation…and for the gathering of new material for our live music and vibrational healing work. Ever the eternal students of the ‘university of whatever […]
I bought a new saxophone last week – a “pocket sax”! It’s rather an odd looking object…and despite its name, it doesn’t look OR sound anything like a saxophone. There’s no shiny lacquered brass – just a plain wooden body resembling a recorder, with a clarinet mouthpiece stuck on the end…and blown gently it emits […]
Last night I was leafing through a diary I kept while in New Zealand back in 2014…..beginning to plan a trip for early next year to see my wonderful family again.

I snuggle round a roaring open fire on this chilly eve, wondering if snow will descend tonight in East Anglia, as anticipated by the BBC forecast? I mull over my travel plans for tomorrow….mindful of leaving in good time whatever the weather decides to do. Even the thought of snow slows me down – […]
A tiny barn near Cambridge hosted the first “her&her”creative retreat this weekend. Moving on from its former use as a storage space for beer barrels, the outbuilding has been lovingly transformed into the perfect place to withdraw from the hubbub of everyday life. Cydnei B and myself set off from our respective homes in Nottinghamshire […]
