Thanks for all the birthday love. I had a really fabulous weekend which involved many family members, friends, new books (Tom bought me this craft-related one- it's a beauty), broad beans, lemon tart and live music. We went to see Bacherlorette at our local arts festival- she was wonderful. 

Thank you for all the great comments on my last post, as well- if you've not had a read, you should. There are music, book and film suggestions galore. Could be worth making a list for the year ahead.

I used the random number generator to find two winners- they were Elise and Mirva. Thanks for playing along.

And now i'll leave you with a link to my new favourite song- 'Tourist', by Radiohead, covered in bluegrassy style by Sarah Jarosz (and found thanks to my last post- thank you!)

    belated happy birthday! sounds pretty perfect. love the Jarosz – I’m currently playing Ben Howard’s album Every Kingdom. it seems fitting for these shortening days. and otherwise listening to BBC Radio 4 podcasts of Melvyn Bragg’s ‘in our time’ series.
