My 2012 – 12 months, 12 songs
It’s here!
My yearly ritual of posting twelve songs that have either defined or been the soundtrack to moments that have made my year has come around again. I have put some up with links to blog posts that are the reason they are up there so have a click on those underlined.
Thank you all for being such smashing readers, heres to another year of this!
Without further a do, here goes….
Had this in my head the whole time I was in Paris. Now it reminds me of my brief but brilliant trip to that wonderful city.
2. James Blake – Case of You
A Joni Mitchell cover that out of all of these songs I urge you to listen to as its quite simply beautiful. Reminds me of reading my book on Hampstead Heath in the bitter cold.
3. Florence and the Machine – No light, No light
It still hurts to think about that run!
Listening to Tibetan music makes sure I never forget where my heart truly lies, back in India.
5. Missy Higgins – Whole of her new album
This was very much the soundtrack to choosing and preparing photographs for my first exhibition.
The official song for the BBC coverage of our Olympics.
7. Karima Francis - Wherever I go
A stunningly warm and emotive voice, saw her live at a music festival this summer. Well worth a listen!
Reminds me of the stupid amounts of train journeys I have taken this year!
10. Frank Sinatra – The Coffee Song
Possibly the most cheerful song in the world! Never has failed to caffeinate my spirits.
A song that has kept me warm on many a long photography walk.
12. Landon Pigg – Falling in love at a Coffee Shop
A song that has been on a constant loop on many occasions. I love it not only because it has coffee in the title but how it reminds me how lucky I am.

A Road Less Travelled
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”

Spring Sunset
Since a sunrise must be followed by a sunset in nature I though that I should replicate this on my blog. So to follow on from my last photography post here is tonight’s sunset.
The sun photographed from the other side of the globe many months apart.

Love etched upon nature
Happy Valentines Day to you all. Here is my snowy present to you: messages of love etched upon nature.
Some of these couples may have been long since died or fallen out of love and yet there is something about it being carved upon this solitary tree in a crowded wood that seems eternal.
It remains long after the love is lost.
