Flamin’ June

It arrived in the nick of time to qualify for its title – Flamin’ June!  The Composers was resigned to a….. ‘warm and dry’, ‘slightly above average for the time of year’ or even a ‘slightly changeable’ weather forecast from the BBC weather people or the visual personification via the BBC weather ‘App’ – where…

September and the F word

September bows out with a host ‘F’ words. Festivals, Forecasts, Friends, Friendship and Fun. What else did you think The Composer meant?
