Looking Through Windows

Here’s a great new song from Wild Eyed Wonder, with clips of views from around the world that people sent in to be included in the finished song 🙂

In this year of varied stages of isolation there have been many attempts to use the internet to get out into the world again.
There’s The World From My Window, a place to share stories from various individuals from their lockdown.
Or you can travel online via WindowSwap to see the view from the windows of people around the world…

Happy travelling!

Festivity

Had a busy day today, starting with bargains and catching up with friends, then off to the Ipswich Festival for a few hours of live music.
We got there half way through the set of a singer called Brooke Austin, who I enjoyed, but haven’t been able to find much info on…
We parked ourselves in the shade so we could comfortably listen for a while – here’s our view –

It was mid-morning – not so many people there yet.
Sweet Bean wandered – round town, but also had a go in the competition at the Heritage Bank tent. They were giving away squishy pink pigs if you got the ball in the basketball net – he won one, even though he could only use one hand!

Say hello to Pancetta Pig! 😀

We were really at the Festival for Wild Eyed Wonder, who we have seen before, and enjoy hearing. Took some footage of the end of a song (there were people standing in front of me, and I was enjoying the blue skies and clouds anyway, so that’s the background…)

Go check out her Facebook page and YouTube channel for more music!

I love live music. We haven’t been able to get to the Festival for the last few years, so we’re planning to enjoy what we can this year. I love watching the tiny beans running and dancing (and turning cartwheels) across the grass while their parents look on. This morning there were two girls who couldn’t stand on their own, but were able to dance by being held up by their carers, who danced with them. There weren’t many people when we were there (I expect there were more later this evening after the parade), but those of us there were able to lose ourselves in the vibrancy for a few hours, each dancing in our own ways.
Also, there was bacon and cheese loaded chips, and iced chocolate. Can’t be bad!

We also listened to The Lighthearts

Sunshine and cheer…

After them were Dezzie D and the Stingrayz – 40s/50s style – but we didn’t stay for their whole set. We’re hoping to spend a few hours at the Jazz and Blues Festival tomorrow, so it was off home for a rest.
Had a look at the classic cars outside – I’m not very mechanically minded, but they were beautiful. Then we said goodbye, as the sun shone down on us…

Wild Eyed Wonder

Remember the cafe/live music blog post from last week? 🙂 We went back tonight… same musician, so we sat and enjoyed while sipping hot chocolate/tea. It was a beautiful night with beautiful music – we even scored a table right up close – like having a concert just for us! Here’s a YouTube clip (the first song we heard tonight) – have a look at the official channel as well.

You can check out more at wildeyedwonder.com, the Facebook page, or search on Spotify, iTunes or Deezer.
