Day 1 #strideforgaza

6.8 Km with this very fine company. Bit of a slow start with dogs in tow, but a start!

Please consider supporting my 98km walk. There’s a donation link in the Linktree in my bio 🙏

Congrats on your first million, Shirley- may there be many more!

And then, once folk have watched the video, they should head over to Bandcamp and buy your EP, which has the song Hermione on it!

Thanks Cathy 🙏

We lost electricity, but only for half an hour or so. Lots of trees down locally again though.

Shirley Barr @shirley-sings.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks, Rachel! Hope you survived Storm Amy unscathed? It was wild up this way. x

You’ve still got the best part of an hour and it’s really very good! I enjoyed on my train ride down south last Sunday 🚆🎶

Dave Falconer @dmfalconer.bsky.social · 5d

Its Bandcamp Friday and I’ve been doing some shopping.

If you’re still looking around for new music in an indie/pop/rock style and want to support independent music, please check out Riggwelter’s new album “Past Imperfect”. Thanks!

Our barometer has dropped somewhat.

Batten down the hatches and stay safe everyone 💨🍃

Thanks M & J! First one should be available soon 🎶

Ever so fleetingly! 4 days of travel for 3 songs, but so worth it!

A very beautiful neck of the woods it is too. 😍

Have you looked under an Oak recently?

On my trip away this weekend I learned all about Mast Years for Oaks and Beeches. It’s cyclical, where every 5 - 10 years they suddenly shed seeds prolifically.

Beware sheep and cow, as gorging can kill. Pig…have at ‘em!

Every day is a school day.
