Ok, so it’s not Mr Hackett himself, but….. blimey…. These guys are BLOODY GOOD!

G2 Definitive Genesis put on one Hell of a show.

Farewell Durham.
Farewell dear friends.
Farewell Emily.
One last night in London and then back to Canada.

I must have fairy dust in my eyes: they are red and leaking right now

Issues with visiting England #1: you start watching this thing called “Celebrity Traitors”

Oh Lordy me

How addictive is THAT?!

So: On my last evening in 2 days, is it the Victoria pub in Paddington OR an evening in front of the TV in a hotel?! (or both ?!)

Today… the Penultimate day 🥲

I can report that after intensive first aid, Steve made a full recovery ( just )

I later spotted him and Brad waiting for a bus to take them to the pub.

So he’s feeling a lot better, a lot more refreshed & emotional (and slightly more wobbly)…and is planning shenanigans as we speak

We did the South Devon railway today!

Now, I know you’re thinking “how could this get any better?!”, but at Buckfastleigh they have the ADDED BONUS of Otters & Butterflies!

I know.

Life just can’t get any better!

Emily goes to Scotland soon: hopefully she will wash the “eau de Otter” off her!

Are you here today?

@amandalehmannmusic.bsky.social

I’ve got a day or 2 before an evening to myself in London on Thursday (know of any Gigs I can go to??! No?! Ok….I’ll just be a sad guy in a corner of a bar then!) BUT UNTIL THEN I’M GOING “FULL TOURIST IN SOUTH DEVON” & intend to make all train spotters jealous:

Thank you for the recommendation

We were blown away by the Marie Antoinette exhibit AND the Cartier display at the V&A

There are problems with having daughters.

This issue of nails and make up.

(“Just once in your life, have a pedicure, Dad; you’ll LOVE IT!” etc etc)

So here’s my scary Halloween posting from my mother’s eerie fireplace in Devon

(I blame genetics& beer!)

Not so much “behind you” as “below you…!”

This alone was worth the air fare from across the Atlantic

G2 Definitive Genesis just BECAME Genesis, as if you were witnessing a warm up gig from around 1978

The lights, the banter, the musicianship ALL A+ !

One for you, Mr Z !

G2 Definitive Genesis were outstanding. Superlatives can’t do the 3 hr concert justice.

We were in awe and transfixed for the entire time.

Dare I say better than a Genesis show? Certainly more intimate.

I feel a bit of a “sad anorak of a man” (no comments please!) but I have barely ONE WEEK in England with my daughter & I’m spending the Sunday night in Bath, waiting to see G2 Definitive Genesis.
I can barely wait..
SHE is giving up hope.!
October 26, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Very cool red bass AND a steam reference in the same post!

(it also just LOOKS bloody lovely, doesn’t …. She?)

Do you like the latest visitors to my garden?!

In an effort to improve my health & to recover from some recent trauma, I’ve bought a shiny new (red) bike..
..Useful for getting fresh air, doing home visits to the elderly and to see some nature

A few days ago, a mummy bear and her cubs tried to cross the road RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

Just WOW!

I think that around that time I was going for the "moody spotty student" look, complete with angst-laden black guitar and dodgy haircut

And absence of any discernible talent, a trait which has endured through the years.

Hope the new album is coming along well!

So..my resolve lasts about as long as a TV evangelist outside a Brothel, but I’m trying to get “fit” (I’m so not used to this idea of self-health! YUK!) since my “disagreement with fascist wankers” on holiday!

Now, how many docs go on home visits ON A BIKE these days?!

And the views of the valley from the cycle path…followed by refreshments!

Botanical gardens in Vancouver ….

With some flying …. Ahem…. Fairies?!

A visiting guest, having a feast on my apples.

I felt it wise just to sit and admire his technique, his manners and his chubby belly

#Paddingtonbear would have approved, I think, and would have offered him a marmalade sandwich for tea

Isn’t it spelt with a capital “T” rather than an “S”?

Butterflies?

..flutterbyes, gutterflies?

I am just out of hospital myself ( 😳 . Yuk! It’s not nice being the recipient of stuff that I normally inflict upon others! But God bless universal health care!) and feeling better & patched up and in need of a bit of nature

So here’s my contribution!

Just seen Brit Floyd in Vancouver.

Bloody Hell they were good!

Steve is shenanigan - again in B.C ( Canada ).

This time in Vancouver

First a line of breweries in Penticton… now a surfboard outlet in the University of British Columbia

You let him shenan once…it’s your fault.
