this week I’ve been

Drinking gin and eating apples. Watching the world go by. Reliving my student days with a weekend away with friends I hadn’t seen for fifteen years, and staying up talking until 6am.

Visiting a dingy little venue in Bedford and seeing my favourite singer live:

Evan Dando from the Lemonheads, ambling onto the stage. One amp, one guitar, nothing more.

I stood at the front with Sandy Calico and it was magical. Magical and poignant, bringing back lots of memories and reminding me of my past. I’m in a strange limbo right now, halfway between one place and the other (still no house sale, mind you, so not really) and my heart aches.

And this month I’m in Handmade Living magazine as their featured blogger, which is lovely.

Oh, I’m homesick and I haven’t left yet. I’m sure it’s normal. Right now I can’t think of anything to say, except I’m going to miss everyone and everything so much.

Tales from the Village is no1!

That’s the Wikio blog chart for July. My little blog is No1, ahead of the Guardian and Observer! Excuse me whilst I go for a little lie down.
