Hi everyone !

i shall start with ‘thank you Micheal for the music’ ! 

hope all is good with you and you’re coping with or  loving the hot weather. I’m presently in my attic in london. Its a bloody furnace in here and my beloved cat keeps walking across the keyboard of my laptop !

well what’s been happening? i didn’t go to glasto but had some friends who did. They said Neil young was amazing and bruce springstein was really boring.  The rest of the people i knew that went still havent been in touch so i hope they are still on the planet and alright ?!

i’ve broken my foot , yeh really, walking of all things, trying to keep fit is dangerous!  i have to wear what looks like a ski boot or some kind of fancy foot wear from starwars for six weeks.  It’s the left foot so i have rented an automatic car which means i can still get around when in the west cuntry up at the studio.

we are beavering away writing  and its really coming along now!  There are days when it can feel a struggle but that’s just normal i suppose.  We just have to ride them out knowing that something will click again soon! its like magic and i love it!  i don’t want to say too much because it’s a process that i find hard to describe and i dont want to jinx it in these earlyish days.  i just wanted you to know that we are having fun and its going well.

I’m waiting for some headphones to turn up cos i left the others at the studio.  i’m going to record some  vocals here in my little attic that’s now got a gorgeous breeze blowing through it!  its a really beautiful evening now mmm think i might have to go down stairs and crack open that ice cold bottle i’ve got in the fridge ?

have a great weekendxxxxxxxA

Hey ! how are you? all good i hope ?!

the first pic is Charlie and Will, in the studio where we are presently doing the album, near Bath.

pic 2. i think that wig hair was stolen from the dancers.

pic3 this is in my dressing room in Paris,we played this gorgeous little theatre called the Marigny last year,

i loved the silk quilted walls.

lastly this was taken in the playground behind a resturant in spain, the festival we played at later that eve was just down the road on the beach, i cant remember the name of it?

anyway hows your week been? dont know about you but i feel pooped! i’m sooooo glad its the weekend! I saw Charlie the other night, it was so great to see him! what a special lovely man! Davide is arriving tonight from copenhagen and staying at my place, i cant wait to see his crazy little face !! he is working in london doing stuff, not sure what he’s working on but i’m really looking forward to hanging out with him at some point.

someone asked me the other day why i don’t do twitter. i have to say i had to think about it for a bit, it feels like everyone is doing it but i’m not sure i like the idea? for a start i don’t think i could keep up sending little messages like that all the time? being so aware, cataloging everything you do, then telling everyone about it seems quite extreme so i think doing a blog is enough for me right now.

ok so on that note, i’m gonna open a bottle of wine and make some dinner!

speak soon,love love love 

have a great weekend!!!xxxxxxxxxalison
