Boom, she clack-clack

October 29, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Waiting for my connection, just my water and I, at Heathrow At the moment, I live with two kids on a South Australian farm.

October 7, 2013 by ebembo

View from the Ubisoft rooftop terrace in Montreal Pop Montreal has come and gone in a flash. This year’s line-up was particularly strong and the festival was made all the better by gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather.  As is often the case at Pop, deciding which concert to see when there are so many amazing acts playing at the same time proved to be especially challenging.
