I started to write but there was too much going on and then the year was over! I needed a deadline and then I thought New Years Eve is a good one to have!

My highlights and I include some photographs I took was following the Black Madonna Sara out to the sea and hanging out with the gypsies in Southern France…you can read more here by Kerensa Smith whom I met out there in Travellers Times

The other was sailing in an enormous German built ship with proper sails down the Dardanelles Strait past Gallipoli from the Marmara Sea under the biggest suspension bridge in the world the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge

I have barely played the piano this year but I am writing an album half of which I think works and I do hope to record in 2024. I have had some good omens but like many people fitting things around a day job I have found more and more difficult.

I was reminded that I do owe a ghost… I found a photo of me and my brother (dipping into the ocean’s past is a habit of mine this time of year … )

I actually forgot all about it and I fully intend to return their sweets this year.

I really did forget and how terrible I feel about it..

HAPPY NEW YEAR….!

I feel like this on New Years Eve …

Diving into the unknown…xxx
