Dear Friends,
Firstly a very happy New Year to you! I hope 2009 brings some sunshine for us folk living too far north for homo sapiens!!!!! And I hope that wherever you are in the world that you and yours have a peaceful, healthy and joyful year ahead.  And… all the best wishes to Mr. Obama.  We need some positive news.

Tom, Brendan and I are doing some concerts next month both here at home and in England and Scotland. Details as follows - hopefully I'll get a chance to meet up for a cuppa and a chat with some of you along the way.  Best wishes and do get in touch.  I’ve made so many lovely friends here on My space, but it’s hard keeping up with everyone, so drop me a line if you have time.
