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.

Dear Corona - Pigeon Party

Dear Corona (lyrics original by Rapden: Pigeon Party) She, she is a cold girl, brought the whole world down on their knees She, she is a mean girl, trying to rip us all off our means But there's a silver lining, she doesn't know, she doesn't care but we do And there's no point in whining, she doesn't mind, she has no time to what we do So, I've quarantined myself, just to go within, it's the one place she'll never find And I, I've reclaimed myself, to come out clean, it's the one game she'll never win So leave me alone, why don't you go on your own Dear Corona

Kelly Welly - The Day of the Rabblement

Original folk/acoustic song called Kelly Welly by The Day of the Rabblement. This song was recorded live at the Wine Vaults, Southsea and is available on their debut album 'Night Time Rallies' .This song includes instruments like guitars (of all kinds), a tambourine and a violin to give it a traditional folk inspired style, as well as Khaleda's beautiful vocals. The band doesn't make their music in this particular style anymore as they have developed and evolved to fit the more recent times.
