Lucky me!

I’ve been so lucky this year… in many, many ways, but one I was thinking about the other night in conversation with a friend was how lucky I’ve been with seeing my favourite band and favourite singer. I went to Glasgow in January to see the Mavericks, and went with my dear friend Elly and met up with our other dear friends Hannah and Jenna. What a brilliant time we had, and the biggest thrill of all was having a conversation with Raul Malo, it wasn’t just a brief couple of words, we sat at the same table and had quite a chat… the only trouble is that I was so overwhelmed that I can’t really remember much that we spoke about… he is the most talented man,  I can’t think of a better singer with a greater voice in any genre of music, and he is such a talented song writer too. We spent a couple of days in the beautiful Scottish city, and also met up with some cousins I hadn’t seen for a very, very long time!

The Mavericks were kind enough to their British fans to come over again and together with Hannah and Jenna I saw them in Manchester and Birmingham! Wonderful, amazing and we met our friend Susie and new friends Jan and Tom!  And no, twice was not enough!

I said I’ve been lucky… the boys came back again, this time they came to Plymouth, a beautiful city I had never visited before, and Elly came with me again to see them! Lucky us
