Congratulations to my extremely talented wife, whose book has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize. (Tweeps - go and buy a copy and read it. Don't just take my word for it - that's the considered view of the Orwell Prize judges!)
To mark the 100-year annvrsy of the illustrious Margrat Duncan conducting us at our first Mòd (Greenock 1925), we had her grave in Twickenham Cemetery restored to its former glory.
Thanks to all who contributed! We'll be there on 30.11 @ 15:30 to pay our respects

Fable by @AinsleyHamill gets even better with every listen. The album cover is also a work of gorgeous art. Too early to name the 2025 album of the year?
