busking, music, street life

Keeping cosy!

It’s a lot warmer than it has been the last few days. Even so, I’m not going to be hoodwinked into breaking out my summer wardrobe! The trick to not being cold is not getting cold in the first place… no point putting on extra layers when you’re cold! However that’s easier said than done when you’re standing around on the street in the middle of winter! So that’s why I have 10 layers on and 3 pairs of leggings!

The last few times I’ve been out even that wasn’t enough, but I think 10 layers is about the limit… after that it doesn’t seem to make any difference!

When it’s cold the voice sometimes just disappears as the cold air hits the throat and the fingers slow down. Today is feeling positively balmy! Hurrah 😁

Blue sky-is that a whiff of spring

So I’ve dropped the girl off at school and it’s a lovely sunny day. So much milder than yesterday when I got so cold I started to forget the words to songs and my fingers stopped moving… time to stop!

I like town before I start playing, it’s emptiness, but that’s no good for busking so then I wait. Usually I have some knitting with me but I’m working on something a bit tricky which doesn’t lend itself to being shoved in a bag and worked on standing up.

I’ve got a few new songs I’d like to try; they’re almost ready so looking forward to that. But today is about just being out and playing just for the joy of it.

Time to put my frock and face on!

HELLO!!!!

I planned to go out busking today but it’s seriously windy and chucking it down with rain.  So I’ve been productive. I’ve finally sorted out my website! Hoo-Flamin-Rah!… check it out.

It’s all a bit basic at the moment, and that’s mainly because it’s made by me but you can buy CD’s and contact me and also find out what other stuff I do.  As times goes on I daresay I’ll get it all a bit more whizz-bangie…. but for now… Hurrah for me!

You might notice it’s a different address but the old one now points to this address – how clever am I!  Nothing left for it but for me to do a bit of a happy dance!
