Kate Rusby

So Jamie and I left the house last Thursday... together... without Rachel (and no we didnt forget her). With Jamie's mum and dad (gran and grandad) babysitting we went off to hear Kater Rusby sing her wee heart out. It was a fab night. Good banter inbetween songs and an amazing voice. She also had one of "those guys" - you know the ones - the side kick able to play every instrument under the sun... whistle, violin, guitar, stringy thing, and backing vocals. Made me want to learn some form of musicical instrument, until i remembered how utterly frustrating it is to try and learn - all those hours of playing badly.
Here's a snapshot of Kate - the recordings pretty bad, she doesnt have a lisp in real life!

great ambience




i had my friends from Whitehead over yesterday. it was really great to see them and to introduce Rachel to them. We wandered about town a bit lunching and coffeeing etc. In the evening I abandoned the hubby and child to go out with the girlies. We ended up at a tapas restaurant (after much deliberation and voting!). The food was lovely and much laughter was had :-)
It was so good to have them around... makes me miss them more though!
