About
Not enough hours in the day to do all I want and need to do. I am a musician also and write songs and I am torn between song writing and my novel...........
I love to cook, especially cakes, I love music - listening and playing, I love my garden - finally have a veg patch, growing peas, courgettes, lettuce and tomatoes at the moment - mmmmm.

by Caducean Whisks 11 months agoThanks Karen. I guess you're using Internet Explorer? Peeps using it can't see the end of my Little Bird Diary - it has a deep incompatibility with the Cloud.
