My wife loves her garden. She has put a great deal of effort, thought and money into it. Its her thing and I respect it... especially on a hot summers evening in a deck chair with my iBook (WLAN reaches that far!!!)
My wife was invited to attend an awards ceremony run by our local Councillor - Bill Martin. I like him. He's grass roots. He talks the way I do... Anyway, my wife was one of the runners up, which is disappointing considering the pictures taken of our garden were pretty crap (they could have used better angles...) However, I am proud that see has got into the top whatever percentage of recognised "good" gardens.
Anyway, as part of the entertainment, a lassie called Emma played guitar and sang four songs in an acoustic, coffee-house kind of vibe. She finished her set with the odd choice of "Lady in Red". Odd in that Chris de Burgh is pretty vivid about the lady in red he is so proud to call his own... and here was a young late teens/early 20's girl singing the song... but it was lovely! and her voice was special and suited to the choice of songs she had made... including the Del Shannon "Runaway" song (the one that goes "Wah wah wawah"...) Anyway, I am glad I went - she made a dull evening a lot less dull! I wish I had a venue to let her sing in... She'll go far!
