It is quite crazy watching something you've made just spring into life. It's like 'Frankenstein's Fish'. 😮😆

I have "bumped into" several people from my past recently, although one, a schoolboy crush, still gave me that sensation of walking on air it wasn't to last, although she did inspire me to song. Molly knows best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rk...

Lovely evening with the delightful Ellie Gowers, who was kind enough to grant me a pre-show audience, before taking my seat with old friends from @burtonfolkclub.bsky.social, some of whom I have known for 10 years this year, and which celebrates its own anniversary this year, too!
