Life is good.  Had a baby.  A beautiful girl who is now called Ella.  Although if she chooses to be known as MD Funk then I'm happy.  Whatever.  She's a lovely lassie with ever changing eyes and an incredibly expressive face.  And a smile to melt your heart.  It wasn't quite the natural birth I was aiming for, but it was an amazing experience I will hold dear for ever.  I'd plan to write to a more up to date blog more of the time, but ha! I thought I had little time when I was just me, but now I'm a mum time is flying by.  All my priorities have changed and it's okay.  All my plans are at the moment on hold, or inching by at a snail's pace and that's okay too.  I still have dreams and I still have plans.  All in its own time.  

I joined facebook recently.  It makes me wonder how it must have been before internet was in every household.  I now rely so much on hearing from pals through the computer, if I didn't have it, would I be seeing people more, or would I be lonely?  Sometimes I become a bit phone-phobic.  Why does that happen?  Emails and messages are easier to deal with - especially when things have to be dealt with at 2am when Ella's asleep.  I'm looking forward to the next couple of gigs with Karine and Annie on Saturday 30th May at Doune and Dunblane Fling and the Edinburgh Folk Club on Wednesday 3rd June.  We're going to get together on Friday for some new song work.  One particular one Karine and I worked on for a Sandy Wright compilation "Fourteen Hands" regarding a story of seven brothers living and loving working the land at Knoydart.  It's a beautiful song which I am sure the three of us will do proud.  And a few other things up our sleeves which should prove a challenge! 

Hope the sun is shining on you.  All the best
