sharing the love



For the last couple of years, inspired by these lovely folk and the beautiful Ruth, I have been putting together a cd of songs that we loved during the year that has just passed. Music, as you all know, is a huge presence in our lives, we sing, we play, we dance, we write songs, we take photos of all this and we also get to spend time with many talented musicians as they pass in and out of our lives.

It is lovely looking back and seeing how each track conjures the memories, the moments and emotions of the year. This 'mixtape' has affectionately been labelled 'Songs that got us through 2-0-1-2', I thought I would share the love with you all by linking the tracks. Hope you enjoy and find some new favourites.
