Good Morning and Happy Saturday to all, Firstly, I would like to say I cannot believe it is already the last week of February, I always say it, but where has the time gone, it felt like yesterday the year had just begun. Thinking about it though it has been a big year for all so far, recently I have been talking to a lot of separate and very different people all feeling the same about the past couple months,…..
I’ll start this week by saying I hope everyone had a happy and loved up Valentine’s Day. There’s always so much expectation on people and their relationships around this time of year.

I have only recently discovered what inspires me in my writing and what played a massive role in my life to date and that is MUSIC.
