CALL me crazy, but I hope I may have had a vision of the future. The other day I sat and watched Les Miserables (the movie, I saw the original stage musical back in the day in 1986 at The Palace Theatre just after it had transferred from the Barbican).…

SO we’re well into 2013 now. How is it going for you? Have you already broken your resolutions or did you even bother making any this year? I am a complete sucker for resolutions. I love the beginning of a New Year, it’s like opening a fresh notebook and using…

HOW was your Christmas? We did something we haven’t done before, we went out for lunch, to quite a fancy pants place. But you know, one of the best things about Christmas, in my opinion anyway, is the leftovers from Christmas dinner. Cold turkey and stuffing (we call it ‘scurly’…

IN our house we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a fat man in a red suit. I say we, well you know what I mean. La Gidg still firmly believes in the fella which is just as well as no one wants to be caught out as a liar…

WOW, how did it get to be December? That snuck up on me! This is the season of Christmas markets in Mallorca and we’ve got some nice ones coming up. Already last Sunday La Gidg spent the afternoon helping out on the cake stall run by her Synchronised Swimming team…

As I write this I am in the UK. Although I have never attempted space travel before, it does feel as if I have landed on another planet! I am trying to re-enter the atmosphere at as slow a speed as possible in order to appreciate all the differences, good…
HAPPY Movember to one and all! Yes, you read that correctly, this is Movember, not November, or at least it will be in my house. Movember is a yearly event to raise awareness of men’s health issues and as such is responsible for the sudden appearance of furry growths on…

'THE only thing better than singing is more singing," said Ella Fitzgerald. I’ve got to say that I agree with her, I’ve always sang: in the car, in the shower, occasionally on a stage, mostly to myself, but since being a grown up I’ve never had the chance to sing…

I WAS a teenager in the 80’s. I grew up with Duran Duran, Wham, Bronski Beat, The Smiths, The Jacksons, Madonna well not literally, but you know what I mean. Their music was continually playing on my little radio. I was fanatical about it all. I would record the Top…

We went on a wholesome walk last weekend. It was a lovely sunny Sunday and that’s what you’re supposed to do isn’t it? Not laze around at home eating cereal out of the box and watching the Formula One, no, you should be hiking. So we did. My husband…

THE summer holidays are almost at an end. Parents all over the island are looking forward to breathing out and getting back to the old routine. Every year since La Gidg started school it has been a three month long struggle to juggle work and keep her entertained and even (fancy…

It seems rather fitting, what with it being the Paralympics starting this week to be doing something to benefit and encourage disabled people who live in Mallorca. Next week on Wednesday September 5th I’m getting together a group of young musicians to do a benefit concert for Aspace. Aspace is…

GOODNESS what has come over me? I don’t recall being a raving fan of the Royal family but for the past week every time there has been mention of the Jubilee I’ve come over all sentimental and tearful.
When I first visited Mallorca the island and the way of life here reminded me of my childhood in the UK in the 70s.
