Munich was freezing cold - very snowy....




Loved it though and I intend to go back in warmer weather....

I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

Me and Prudence off an our very first Cruise next week, Two weeks long,Jamaica, Columbia,Panama, Grand Cayman, Mexico and Cuba!

..and then I went back to Germany (and France for an afternoon). The exchange programme that I set up at school, I've passed on to a new colleague and I went over with her for her first time on the exchange to introduce her to folks. We visited Heidelberg and also Wissembourg in France.




The whole lot are available HERE

Staying in the country for more than a month now until I go and see Lilly Hiatt in Brussels in April....!

Annual fuck off winter, I've had enough post.

Please, please can the sun just shine now? And can I please, please have just at least one fucking holiday?

You lot used to be so good at holiday porn. But, apart from Nick, you are a miserable let down... what the fuck happened? Did you all get old?x

I've been in prison and after that we went to Eyemouth for a week - the Seafarers Mission is now the Hippodrome - capacity of 80 - maybe too small for Richard & Shez - but you can take your guitars outside and play a tune from the deck of a trawler...also the aftershow party could be in The Fleet

I am getting very old but still enjoy holidays! Last October me and Mrs LPD went on a walking holiday in Catalonia and this year (so far) we have short breaks and holidays booked in Whitby, Castleton, Derby, London, Linconlshire coast, Corfu and a cruise down the West side of the Med. All this will happen if my money and/or my body holds out!

Woke this morning and I got myself a beer ............

Bit of seaside porn for you

Very, very funny...

Drove to Holland and back from Stoke, to play a Cajun and Zydeco festival (Zydecozity) in Raamsdonksveer in Holland. Glorious weather, lovely people and a fantastic time was had by all.


(That's Vera von Heeringen on bass - plays with Neil McSweeney and my friend Dave Luke too. She's married to Jock Tyldesley of the Flatville Aces.)

Went for a week's walking in the Lake District. Only managed 3 out of the 5 days due to boots and achilles not liking each other, but had a great time with friends.

Just had five nights on the west of scotland, weather brilliant. What a fantatsic part of the country. The Jacobite Steam train from Fort William to Mallaig is a must. The seafood is superb. If you go book the Crannog in Fort William, all fresh seafood

Groningen is an excellent city - I was there for the Take Root festival (again...)
