Yesterday I performed some of my Ricardian songs for the Devon and Cornwall branch of the Richard III Society in Plymouth, Devon. Lord Zarquon was playing his wonderful Mellotron sounds on his Memotron keyboard and Elaine was singing with me. #ricardian #richardiii

Last Sunday Ashley Dyer came to visit and we spent most of the morning recording him playing trumpet on six of my songs. Most of these tunes have a science fiction theme to them.

Here is a bit of a coincidence: John Wesley died on 2nd March 1791 and Horace Walpole died on 2nd March 1797. Both of them wrote about Richard III.

I have been feeling quite sad ever since our cat died last month. She was nearly 19 years old and we had her as a kitten. We brought her home from our holiday in North Wales on a farm near Criccieth.
