I'm not a pleasant plucker
Im a pleasant plucker's daughter
And I'm only plucking pleasantly
Beacause I think I oughta!

Sorry, The first rum & shrub of Christmas tide has hit home after an enforced fast from alcohol due to a sponsored slim for Cancer research. I have lost a stone and need to lose another one before 1st February which is the finish date. I think Christmas is going to be a challenge this year, I cannot imagine surviving Christmas without my Rum & Shrub!

Thank you for the comments all, those of you who know me well, will know that I am a bit of a perfectionist and am like a rabbit in the headlights if not prepared, I did feel a little like that rabbit yeaterday, and although it wasn't as formal a setting as some others I have performed in, for me the setting made it awesome, as it is a place I love dearly, and I am well aware that I am not the worlds greatest harper. Having people to hide behind is great, but they are all part of the team you dont want to let down. It was also the coldest place I have ever performed in, I had a hand warmer tucked in my outfit which I had to warm my hads on between sets. Anyone who has played a harp will know that cold hands dont move fluently - so it was a little challenging. Despite all that the feedback has been very positive, Onward and upward, as they say.
Cheers, and Seasonal Good wishes to you all.
Cheers, Lucy
