I took Mum back to London this morning, visited Mum in law and then called in for coffee and a beigel with my lovely brother aka TFMC (if you want to know what that stands for check out his new blog TFMCBlog370178112.wordpress.com). While we were sitting and chatting my nephew’s good friend and fellow footballer called in and he and my brother posed in front of a painting one of brother’s musical icons, Paul Weller.

Then it was back up the A1with a stop at Tesco and a visit to daughter where she was listening to Sam Smith singing as she cooked dinner. I got back into the car and headed off with Pearl Jam followed by The C and W songs of Miranda Lambert. What would I choose were I to be invited onto Desert Island Discs? Just as well that it will never happen as my playlist is too long.
