Dear July,

I can’t believe it’s half way through the year, it’s absolute madness.

You were meant to be a month that kicked off the first series of my ‘Friends of Folk’ tour. A real bummer there! It’s sad that we had to postpone the series for a time when life is a bit more settled with restrictions and general ease in life, but it’s given me a nice little rest to recover from a pretty busy first half of the year.

What was meant to be weekends full of driving and setting up shows, playing shows and meeting some new folk friends, instead has been spent unwinding, taking time to (try) relax and (secretly) enjoy not having any critical deadlines.

It’s also given me time to start some new adventures, singing some backing vocals for friends, learning to play the piano (eeep, haven’t played it in about 10 years), and I’ve been slowly planning out recording some new music.

That’s about it for the minute, just trying to take things slowly,

Hope whoever you are, reading this, you’re well and staying kind to yourself and those around you.

Until next time,

x HJ
