...Mmm, will only let me post three, so, continued:

Ok, this is a little bit of a jimwarnerbka style photo walk. Went out today, primarily to take wreaths up to our local village churchyard, a yearly tradition, and pick up a few last min bits in the village. I mostly have a camera with me, whenever I go out, just in case...The weather was dull and flat, but just as I was finishing tending to the graves, the most wonderful sky began to appear, fabulous colours. So I took a number of shots and a few on the walk home. I thought I'd share a few, if only to see the fab sky and colours. All these shots are SOOC, with no adjustments and there are a couple shot in sepia and one/poss. two with a blue filter. Hope you enjoy them.

Wonderful...It's probably my favourite Christmas Bill track and the word that sprang to mind was feeling, something which Bill has in spades...We went out today, a few last minute things and after getting back, it's a cuppa and the radio goes on, Radio 2, as it happens. It was just a wall of Christmas song, obviously, understandably, but it just seemed overkill. We switched it off and just enjoyed some peace and quiet, and I reflected, wonder if Bill will put out his usual Christmas 'single'?...Anyway, been busy with last min Christmas preps for tomorrow and just tuned in here. I'm so pleased to see this posted and really do think it's a fabulous track, it's just restored a little calmness and uplifted spirits, thanks Bill!, and as they say, nobody does it better! All the best and Happy Christmas to Bill, Emi, Jon and all Nelsonians, and all the very best of health and happiness for 2025...Peace.

Happy Christmas to you too. I love the song. It's obviously got that Yes/Jon Anderson thing going on, and seeing as I'm a big fan, that can only be good, IMO...Great stuff.

I like them both, but I would have the single cutaway, every time.

Interesting snippet, connecting Billy Duffy, a Gretsch White Falcon and Rocco Barker: “Rocco used to have a Melos tape echo with a little tape inside it that kept breaking, so he’d get a second hand cassette from Oxfam, and take the tape from that, so there’d be ‘Zorba The Greek’ coming through like an old ghost. He’d churn out loads of caterwauling feedback with a lot of echo on a double cutaway White Falcon that he bought from Matthew Ashman from Bow Wow Wow, but it got stolen by a roadie, so then Billy Duffy sold him a single cutaway version. We used to call it ‘the wardrobe’ because it’s so enormous it’s like strapping a piece of Ikea furniture to your stomach.”...Jenny Valentish

Billy Duffy's new 84/24 Gretsch White Falcon signature guitar. It's a fine looking instrument and would deffo suit Bill (I know he already has a White Falcon, but...) I believe it's around the 3.5K mark, so it's a deep dig. Celebrating 40 Years of The Cult with The G8424TG Billy Duffy Signature Falcon | Gretsch Guitars

What a great photograph. Look like twins. Wonder if any are still alive? They would be around 90 years old now. What stories to tell...😎👍 It's one of those photos that gets me wondering what they did directly after posing for this shot. I'm going to say a venture to the coffee bar and a night out at the local dance hall.

😂..Would have been a long bus ride..😉

Now you mention it, indeed it does.

The kids of today have got no idea..😉

Here's a top for the skirt

Morning bus ride.

Swirling Sardines.

😂👍

Yep.
