Just watched this beautiful performance of All I Ask by the legend that is Adele, and I was completely struck by one line in particular:
“It matters how this ends….”
I can’t help but think these are fantastic words to live by.
Are there any song lyrics which have particularly struck a chord with you lately?
This Music Monday seems to be covers week!
Loving Craig David covering Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself!
Also loving Mic Lowry’s cover of Calvin Harris & Disciples How Deep Is Your Love as well as their Blackstreet cover.
Adele released her debut track ‘Hello’ from her new album, 25, on youtube a week ago. As I write, the video has had just over 160 MILLION views.
You’ll have heard it already, clearly, but I wanted to share it here because I just love it!
Delighted to get a lovely mention on the Love My Dress blog facebook page.
Nice to see that my Realistic Wedding Poem is being well received!
Creamy white chocolate. Delicious raspberry creme. Handmade raspberry truffles from DollyDelicious are the best truffles ever! Laced with delicate morsels of dried raspberry, these don’t last long once you’ve taken the first bite. They are incredibly moreish and totally delicious. I would highly recommend you give them a whirl! I ate a full tray in one sitting. *blushes
Just thought I’d share ~ not the truffles…….
Tonight I had the pleasure of my very first comedy gig
And delighted to say I cut my teeth on the North-West’s Mr Big.
Now that’s not me being personal, he’s a celebrity comedy act
So when I call him Mr Big, I am just stating a well known fact!
Yes, it was Mr Jason Manford, who’d chosen Kendal’s Brewery Arts
As the ideal place to warm up, before his main tour starts.
He was born and bred in Manchester, so he’d not had far to come
Bringing with him a cheeky smile and a proper northern sense of fun.
Now the poor chap had the sniffles, but he soldiered bravely through;
The show’s called First World Problems (a little irony for you)
But I have to say, it’s worth a watch, and after seeing him on TV
To get to watch him in the flesh, was like going into HD.
His observational humour, is well thought and on the money
And his unscripted audience banter, is very quick and terribly funny.
This night was sold out months ago, so I had high hopes & expectations
And you’ll be pleased to know he delivered an evening of Great British titillation!
Just a microphone, a stage and Mr Manford; who could ask for anything else?
He needs no bells and whistles, as the comedy speaks for itself.
It was great that he came to Kendal, and I really enjoyed the show.
If he comes to a venue near you, then I wholly recommend that you go!
So, I was thrilled to get to meet him, and he seems a lovely man
Who made time to pose for pictures and interact with his fans.
He really is hilarious, so I’m happy to give a glowing review
And whilst I am still beaming, Jason, a great big thanks to you!
This is my review of Jason Manford’s First World Problems Tour. You should definitely see it!

The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant.
Catherine Middleton is having a baby.
This is what we have all been waiting for
And now it’s definite, and not maybe.
Kate is currently suffering morning sickness
And has been submitted for a hospital stay.
But I hope that once this is sorted
She’ll be glowing the rest of the way.
Here’s to a child who’ll be King or Queen;
This news is simply the best.
Congratulations Kate and William;
Your baby will be truly blessed.
This is a poem written by Ms Moem.
Today, the 3rd of December, it has been announced that the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first Royal baby. Catherine has been admitted to to King Edward VII Hospital in central London with acute morning sickness and is expected to remain as in-patient for a couple of days. Here’s hoping she is out of hospital quickly and free to enjoy a trouble free pregnancy!
William and Kate are said to be delighted. We are looking forward to hearing more details about the baby boy or baby girl that will one day be King or Queen of England!
I was absolutely delighted
To be illustrated the other day.
It was part of a portrait project
Masterminded by Tris of Dot2uk.
There were portraits of Philip Schofield
And Holly Willoughby off This Morning.
Carol Vorderman and Lorraine Kelly
Also had their own personalised drawings.
So well done to Tris of Dot2uk
For raising over five hundred quid.
I love my Ms Moem portrait;
So proud that it’s one that he did!

My friend is mastering her destiny; please help her if you can.
She’s a lovely genuine person and she’s an artist whose name is Anne.
She’d like to run an exhibition, to be hosted in London city
And once you’ve seen Anne’s images, you’ll agree they’re very pretty.
With marvellous use of colour, Anne’s paintings draw you in.
She entered BBC’s Show Me The Monet, daring not hope she would win.
At 3 on the 24th of July, please tune in to BBC2;
I’m a huge fan of Anne’s artistry, will the panel like them too?
So for now, she is looking for sponsors to help realise her dream
And if you might consider sponsorship, I think I know what it would mean.
So visit her sponsume sponsor page, and donate some cash if you can.
Explode the myth of the starving artist, and show your support to Anne!
Anne’s sponsorship options finish in just 6 days on the 20th of July. Please do get in quickly – why not use it as a chance to get organised for Christmas as many of the options include a bonus print for the sponsor!
Don’t forget to tune in to Show Me The Monet to see how Anne got on in front of the judging panel – will her art make it through to the Mall Galleries?
Show Me The Monet is currently on every weekday at 3pm, on BBC2. You can catch up with those you have missed on the BBC iplayer.
