This is one of the first pages in my travel journal for this summer. I wasn't really feeling it, so a lot of it felt forced to me. One of the main things I've learned though, is to push through my mistakes, to push through that blocked feeling, so I did. I will probably add my reflections and memories to the arted up pages though.

If you want to see more of the pages, they are all over at It's A Creative World.

I'm fInding it hard to get back into the rhythm of blogging. After the time squeeze imposed by my foundation course and increased responsibility at work, I just got out of the habit, or there was something else that had to be done with the small bursts of time available. Then I think, Twitter broke me. What do you think? Will microblogging kill blogging? Did video kill the radio star?

(Nah.)

So, I share with you a picture of my summer. I'm in Nova Scotia, melding into family life at my Dad's, with both sisters and the brother. We've had a lot of fog, but enough days like this to keep us going. He makes his own beer and wine and it is quality.

Live music brings me joy, pure and simple. I definitely prefer smaller venues, pubs and theatres rather than stadiums. If it has to be big though, give me a field - festivals are definitely a benefit of living in the UK. 

Chatting to friends I realised that I've been to see more bands than many of them, which is something that had never occurred to me.  I realised that I couldn't even remember who I had seen.  

Must be time for a list. Rather than hiding it away in a notebook somewhere, I may as well share it here. I'll edit as I remember more. It started out chronologically, but I think alphabetically is more accessible, as you don't all have a working knowledge of my personal chronology! I offer no apologies...
