Right Now I Am Loving

I first heard Palladio – The first movement from Diamond Music in a beautiful little church in Hursley. It was played by the Winchester Area Strings Orchestra led by the ultra talented and inspirational Gideon Baker – and it was spellbinding. One day, I hope my daughter might play in this orchestra….. Mums can dream!

In the meantime, I still love the piece…..

Right Now I am Loving….

Radiohead have produced a song in memory of the World War One veteran, Harry Patch , who has died. Thom Yorke was inspired by an interview he heard in 2005.

You can download the song from the Radiohead website for £1.00 – the proceeds are donated to the Royal British Legion.

Dance your way through life!

Have you heard about the Youtube video that has created a worldwide storm? Jill and Kevin did something different for their wedding and it’s fantastic!

Sunshine!

I am so enjoying these last couple of days of sunshine, why is it that the blue sky and warmth of the sun makes such a difference? I know that I feel so much more positive and energetic when it’s clear and sunny. Living in the U.K. makes you appreciate these glorious days.

I couldn’t resist these photo’s this morning – the view from Brush Cottage.

Latitude 2007

Dave, Tessa and I went off to Latitude this past weekend. Now, I am not a camping kind of girl, so the blow – up mattresses we borrowed were much appreciated and I didn’t even care when someone walking behind me as I carted our mountain load of pillows in commented loudly that it’s not real camping if you bring your pillows…… Once the tent was set up (thank heavens for the techie, who managed to sort out all the rods and ropes and bits) we went off to hear some amazing music.

Check out Tom Baxter, Loney,dear, Angus and Julia Stone, Ra Ra Riot and Camera Obscura. Sadly we missed The Magic Numbers – which is one of the reasons we went! Why they were on at something like 6pm I can’t understand. The atmosphere was amazing, it was nice to hear bands I had never heard of and children were welcome. The festival ended with a real dilemma for me as Arcade Fire was playing at the same time as The Gotan Project and as I am so bad at making decisions I watched the first 5 songs of Arcade fire and the last half of the Gotan Project set. And I am so glad that I did as I would have been really sorry to have missed either one. Were you at Latitude? Tell me what you thought…..?
