Life of the Ladybirds

We rescued four stranded Ladybirds, gave them fresh water and let them hitch a ride to some shelter and vegetation- which is all too sparse on the volcanos. Music is part of a new instrumental EP: Let There Be Life. Releasing on all platforms 25th December 2022.

New Year 2020

Short post but incredibly good news. A miracle. Ilona-Ruby is in full remission. Can’t begin to tell you how that feels in words, so we will show you in art and music composed on the night we found out.

Oh, You Are High!

Our local beauty spot is once again available, with the weather perfect and Ilona-Ruby on the very slow but positive path to recovery, this is our progress so far. Music is from my number 1 favourite album by Mike Oldfield: The Songs of Distant Earth. Poignantly titled track: Only Time Will Tell.
