Up at 5.30 a.m. with plenty of work ahead, I took a quick look out to sea.
Impressive grey skies for the third day in a row.
Walking back to the house there's a cool breeze and carried upon it, the sweet scent of flowers. It is momentarily overwhelming, almost sickly in its intensity.
At our gate an iris is making a bid for freedom...
Others are content to lurk in the background...
Back indoors, I feed the cats, make a pot of tea and proceed to rouse Debra and Alys from their respective slumbers.
After revving up the iMac and checking email, I post this via Twitter. "It's 5.59 a.m. and after half an hour's preparation the day shift begins."

Hey there Steven,
many thanks for your kind words.Although they only ever recorded two albums proper during their brief lifespan, they have more musical ideas than many bands manage over significantly longer careers. I'd say they were required listening for anyone interested in the whole Canterbury scene thing.
looking forward to these Sid. I wonder what the bonus tracks will be, if any. I enjoyed your notes to the recent National Health and Gilgamesh releases. Well done!
Hi there Barrie,
many thanks for your kind words on the National Health & Gilgamesh releases. I've not seen them yet so I don't really know how they turned out.
Sadly there are no extra tracks on the Hatfields.
