and we finish with my favourite song of the season bar, well none (well okay maybe a few . . .) but I always dedicate this to my dear departed brother Steve, thirty years gone this year and think about him every day. Raise a toasting glass to absent friends - love called out to my brother, my Mum and Dad, my Mother and Father In Law too. My dear old friend Stephen Blackman I dedicate this too as well
To 'Absent Friends'!
Mike Heron's wonderful ' Feast of Stephen' from 'Smiling Men With Bad Reputations' a favourite album (still) and my favourite album title of all time
