As you may have guessed we are a family of gourmets so Christmas gave
everyone a chance to show off their gastronomic flair to a captive
audience. Alessandro won hands down again with his Calabrian Boxing
Day Special. By the time we caught our flight to the Caribbean even
the table was groaning with the weight of all the food. While Grace
and Amie’s culinary approach was respectively spontaneous and
refined and Jack’s minimal, Nouska’s had a certain je ne
sais quoi (she was glazing her tiles between courses)and Toby did
some spectacular pile-ups on his plate that would have done justice
to any lorry driver in a transport café layby. But that’s
another story...
- Thanks
for all your good wishes and your congratulations on the Castle/Sanctuary
win. As Nicola suggests – “Big up yourself, Sandie”.
We did it together so you can all big yourselves up too.
- The
winners of last month’s competition are – Allan Crabb,
Stephen Wright, Dougie Murray, Richard Harvey and Jason Lange.
Your CD’s are in the post.
- A
draft discography is now up, thanks to Grace. This is work in
progress so please let me know any mistakes or if anything has
been left out. Maybe you even have a cover that we are missing.

This month’s e.award goes to Glove Puppet, Terry Watson who
pleads for a photo of me in gloves! I am sure I can find you something
suitable for next month’s (February) Newsletter, Terry –
just calm down and stay cool until then. I might even do a special
Hand in Glove section in the picture gallery later in the year.
- Ten
Questions: As so many of you responded to December’s CD competition,
here is a more difficult one. A signed CD and book, “The
World At My Feet” for the first 10 people to answer all questions
correctly:
1. Where was I born?
2. What was my name?
3. What was the family dog called?
4. What school did I go to?
5. How old was I when I was “discovered”?
6. Who “discovered” me?
7. Who was the local boy who wrote my songs?
8. Who wrote my first No1 record?
9. Name two other female singers they wrote for?
10. In order of preference, do I like wearing a) earrings b) trousers
c) gloves d) shoes.

Ten Answers: Have you ever fancied yourself as an interviewer,
news reporter, maybe there some information you have always wanted
to have or maybe you are just curious to know more? In next month’s
Newsletter I will answer any questions you dare to ask and I dare
to answer. So think carefully before you send that email. Let’s
have some fun! Or maybe you want to be serious? See you in February.

Meanwhile here is a pic of me on our land in the Caribbean. Stay
chilled.
