New Artwork
Brought one of my niece Izzy’s pictures back from the UK and – after a lot of searching around – found a frame to fit it, so that we can hang it by the front door.
Brewtown Sounds 2026
This year’s Sounds concert was a more intimate affair, allegedly down to a less attractive lineup resulting in few sales than previous years (apparently being addressed for next year’s event) and was moved under the giant canopy at Brewtown.
