Say hello to Bonnie the English Bluebell🙂👋

Bonnie and her ancestors have lived in our ancient woodland for thousands of years

Bluebells don’t like change, & when Bonnie wakes up early January our duty of care is to make sure she continues to love where she lives

Melody Maker ad (Steve Took had left) for a "gentle young guy" for percussion, bass & harmony.
But Marc met Mickey Finn on his own, they hit it off, and he became Marc's new partner. Electric grooves on the horizon. #marcbolan #TRex
