The Sabbatical, By James R.A. Herriot. Part 5: Epilogue. If you were able to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? During the second Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, James Herriot decided to collate various of the journeys he and his wife (Debbie) have made during their life together as a journal for the grandchildren. Reminiscing about their favourite places, James also includes suggestions for good books, his favourite music, as well as fine wines consumed with family and friends in the various locations.Travel with him from his beautiful home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed to Australia, New Zealand, America, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Turkey, and others, plus some closer to home – all 52 having their own story to tell. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, his observations are always thought-provoking. The Sabbatical will help you to reminisce about places you have visited – or possibly encourage you to visit them for yourself."The Sabbatical: A Year of Travel During the Pandemic" is Copyright ©2023 James R.A.

Zeus X Crona - 'Bad Habits' ft: Enrosa

Story behind the track : "Bad Habits’ narrates the story of a girl who is tired of being in a relationship. Even though she is deeply in love, she wants to leave the guy as she’s impatient and distressed of the relationship, but can’t because the guy has become her bad habit., “Bad Habits is a very special track for us. The song is a dark and emotional track which tells the story of a relationship between a guy and a girl. We wanted to capture the emotional energy and intensity that we experience when we decide to walk away from something that was a significant part of our lives. With this track, we wanted to frame that type of energy in a positive way and there’s nothing but intense, feel-good energy on this track, with crispy clean sound design” - Zeus X Cron#zeusxcrona #badhabits #enrosa #vai.not #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #indiemusic #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicvideo #animation #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans #earn #pay #paid #ethical #honest #fair
