from my life.  A gift from my brother ……three CDs containing music from significant records from my youth.  John Mayall, Otis Redding, Cream and  Joni Mitchell and those are just my first albums that littered my bedroom floor (yes I treated my vinyl badly).  These tracks made my journey from The Gables to London, under grey rainy skies, a strange pleasure even though I had left the early morning trilling of the song thrush back at home.
