    My 2 current favourite albums are James Blunt's latest (Satellites I think) and a lady called Emma Stevens who is a new artist from London and very good, I think possibly unsigned but she has released her first album called Dreaming Trees, she is brilliant.

    Thanks for the compliment GJ, I thought it would just be a bit of fun and is still garden related image What dogs do you have?

  •  Oh dear, I know he's local to us but we're not James B fans here I'm afraid .... I do have a very soft spot for Keane as I used to dandle one of them on my knee not so very long ago (well it doesn't seem like very long ago image)

    Trying to think of which piece of music I want to remind you all of - there are so many that mean a lot - music's always been a huge part of my life.  I've sung in choirs and worked in music venues and son used to be a sound engineer/roadie.

    I shall continue to ponder ............... 


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I like listen to the birds and the kids playing football on the park. I don't like listening to the church bells, they are too repetitive and get on my nerves.

    Ah yes, Dean Martin Lily, love him and Matt Monroe too.  There is so much music to choose from, combined with sunshine and flowers it makes the world a happier place image My favourite on TITN is Seven Wonders.

  • Tracey just thought of  Phil Colins--Something in the air tonight & Take a look at me now. Bruce Springsteen Dancing in the dark,  Ultravox --Vienna,  John Lennon Woman, Eric Clapton.

    And a song that makes me cry Dance with my father again. Oh there's loads Tracey I love I could go on for ages, great threadimage

    Ooh which one Dove? image Their first album was tremendous. Big favourite in this house.

    I wouldn't have admitted to that chicky image

    Bowie 'Hunky Dory' - and he's still a class act.

    Regina Spektor. Stunning. My eldest daughter sang her song 'Samson' in a competition at school several years ago accompanied by a friend on piano. Reduced me to floods. A friend said afterwards 'I didn't know she had such a lovely voice'.  

    I said  'Neither did I'... 

    She doesn't sound so good in her bedroom...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • I always listen to radio 4 on a very old radio that I drag around the garden with me I don't listen to music on the garden, somehow it doesn't seem right!! does that make me odd?!!

    if I did have to listen to anybody it would have to be bowie tho

    Not odd at all Claire, each to their own and I don't always have music on, it just depends how peaceful it is around generally image Not a big Bowie fan though, sorry....that probably makes me odd!! image
