Best Thing About 2011...

The best thing about 2011 happened on, what was possibly the sunniest day of the year, June 4th... Helen and I got married at the very picturesque Lantallack in Cornwall.

We had a Civil Ceremony, a Celtic Blessing/Handfasting, good food, excellent music and great company. A fantastic day was had by us and all who attended.

Here's a few pics...

Xmas Vinyl

Lots of lovely Xmas vinyl this year.

First up, my parents-in-law gave me the most excellent Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow on 45rpm 180g heavy weight double vinyl.

My sister and bro-in-law gave me Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever, which even has a song about Zombie's on it Zombie Zoo.

My lovely wife, gave me an absolute classic album ... Mudhoney's Superfuzzbigmuff.  For those of you not in the know a Big Muff Pi ...is actually a guitar fuzz pedal made by Electro-Harmonix, here's the two from my pedal collection (Left: USA 1980 version, Right: Green Russian version)...

Even more mugs :)

Lena Smith Band Xmas

Last night we had our first official Lena Smith Band Christmas. There was roast, alcohol, festivities, crackers, Christmas pud and great company. I even got to set the pud on fire! Horray for Christmas pyromania :)
