Mission being accomplished…

Hello Everyone. I know it’s been a while. The last time I tried a vlog instead of a blog. I’m not sure if I will carry on doing these as it costs me around £150 a year to pay for this site and I’m not using it very much, but at the same time I […]

It’s been like being dragged through a hedge backwards.

Hello. It’s been ages since I’ve written a blog post and I’ve decided I’m going to do one a month from now on. The last one was just after the Women’s Institute convention in April, and since then a LOT has happened in my life. It’s been really quite stressful and I’m only just coming […]

Following my path and it feels good.

All I’ve ever wanted since I got into singing at the age of 15 (once I knew it was what I really wanted to do a year later) is sing. I’ve never wanted anything else. When my dad told me to work in a bank, and he shouted me down saying I was not going […]

Back to it…for 2024.

It’s that time to get going again but I don’t know about you, it feels like a wrench. This time last week I was in Seville and in ‘switch off’ mode. It doesn’t happen very often, where I get to just switch off and not care for a bit. I could go out and sit […]

Stop, in the name of love…..

Hi Everyone, I’m finally living alone in Hebden Bridge, going for walks in the woods and really having some rest and downtime. I was meant to be working this last week for the charity Lost Chord singing in old folks homes in Sheffield and Rotherham in Yorkshire but woke up on Monday with no voice […]

Fake it until you make it……

Hi Everyone, I’m sat in the Eurostar terminal in Brussels waiting for the train. I’m going back to the house in Hebden Bridge today. I really enjoy living alone and haven’t had the chance since I left Belgium in 2016 so I’m glad I get the chance again even if it is only for 7 […]

It’s break time……pressing the pause button.


Blog

Hello Everyone. I hope you are all well and had a nice Christmas and New Year. I had a pretty full on December, going from place to place the whole month. It was good but I’m absolutely shattered now from a year of constantly being on the move. I lived in 38 different places, visited […]

Home sweet home


Blog

Hi Everyone, There are some places where you feel at home and I would say New York and Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire have the right vibes for me to feel at home. They both just feel right. I used to love Hebden Bridge when I lived in the North of England years back with my […]

Neither here nor there……..


Blog

Hi Everyone, I’m back in the UK now. I arrived on Friday morning and am just trying to adjust to being back. It’s a weird feeling. A part of me is glad to have a bit of a break from it all over there, but then a part of me knows my life IS over […]

A time to give thanks…….


Blog

Hi Everyone, It’s almost Thanksgiving here and it’s something on my list of things I wanted to experience whilst I am here. Just see what its like, spend time with people and have my turkey dinner with all the trimmings American style. I’ve been really looking forward to seeing how it’s done and tasting the […]

Hi Everyone, I’m in my new place which is still in Brooklyn but in a place called Flatbush this time. It’s my 23rd home this year which when I think about it feels like nuts but I’ve chosen this this year and at least I’ve got to see some different places and live with different […]

In all the rough there’s always a few lessons…….


Blog

Hi Everyone, It’s my last night in my apartment in Bushwick in Brooklyn. I’m really sad to leave here because me and Akeem have enjoyed each other’s company. I’m sat writing this and he’s cooking at the side of me. We just hit it off and I will miss him. I could have moved a […]

Through the back door……


Blog

Hi Everyone. It’s Saturday night and I’m writing this with Verdi’s Otello on in the background. I’m working on some music from it so wanted to hear the whole thing, and it’s Domingo doing the role of Otello from a production done at ‘La Scala’. I’m having to up my game now. Take things up […]
