Listening but Not Hearing

Listening but Not Hearing

I have worked in Sales & Marketing in real life nearly my entire working life and one of the first things I was taught, practically on day one, was the phrase "You have two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion" Salespeople are often referred to as having the 'gift of the gab' [...]

A word about my weakness…I’m totally addicted to Bass!

A word about my weakness…I’m totally addicted to Bass!

It's totally not a wordy day for me but as I mentioned before sometimes I'm listening to a song or one just pops into my head when I'm putting a blog together and today it's this one...Totally Addicted to Bass by Puretone.

When I Saw Her Standing There…

I completely made the most of having my friend Joe come and pose for me for these pictures today (thank you Joe). I think I took something like 12 original raw shots and choosing which 3 to put into this post was incredibly tough because I loved all of them. The feature pic of the [...]

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

Turn Your Face Away, From the Garish Light of Day…And Listen to the Music of the Night

My Mums favourite visits to London were to see Phantom of the Opera. She was lucky enough to see it in the mid 80's with Michael Crawford in the lead role and she played the soundtrack at home often. As a young girl I'm not sure I appreciated the 'music of the night' quite as [...]
