Just kids too. Always a beautiful listen.

Quite an exceptional record! 😉👊

Haha, possibly not! That's a detail that escaped me this afternoon, thanks for enlightening me!

They had a ballot at the library, the choices were:

Corpse Bride and
Casper (1995)

When I asked the wee man what he voted for he told me "The Jones Family" 😂

I knew it'd be a good 'un. Delighted you enjoyed (no, really, I am! Now go get that clarinet!

I'd never seen it before! Mind you, I could probably do with watching it again as this screening was accompanied by many small children running around, wrestling, jumping off the furniture, etc etc 😂

I know! Mind you, I'm not particularly good at this kind of thing, I was amazed that Prunella Scales was 93! 🤯

A good excuse to stick this on for the first time in ages. Cheers Bruce!

I didn't know they were fond of eggs, I'll be honest! They're in the garden a fair bit, but I rarely see them, usually I just see what they've left behind! 😭😂

Well more power to your elbow, as the man said.

I wasn't aware that was your line of work, very good!

It struck a chord with me, whoever wrote it, so good job all concerned! 😃

And yes a stunning record, we were lucky to get it live here a few months ago, quite an experience!

"This record follows the embrace of winter time; the closing in of darkness, the cold, the pull to turn inward. But also, the customs of the season, and gathering for the ceilidh: songs and stories told round the fire; where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur."

There's a roundabout at the end of our road and a few of them were living in that, but they dispersed when there was building work being done on it. First time I've seen one in about 5 months or so!

😁

Poor fox, just having a nap and this big galoot comes along making noise. Disgraceful!

A fine looking lad (I'm very much guessing, could well be a lady!)! Tame too, but I kept my distance and used a long lens.

Lúireach by Landless. A black vinyl LP on a Stanton turntable. Lego Wall-E looks on from the right of the picture.

Now playing: Landless.

"The Irish quartet sings centuries old ballads as well as more recently penned folk songs. Sometimes unaccompanied and at times with subtle instrumentation, their vocally rich music is dark and patient; spellbinding and gorgeous."
