    Love Music Love Food:The Rock Star Cook Book

    Do you love food…?
    Do you love music …?

    Then this may be right up your alley 🙂

    The Love Music Love Food book is the brainchild of world renowned food photographer Patrice De Villiers with words/interviews by music journalist Andrew Harrison and recipes by personal chef to the rockstars Sarah Muir.

    The book itself is a cover to cover sit down with musicians from the up and coming through to living legends, each talking about their foods of choice accompanied by recipe ideas and all thrown together in a mix of stunning photography and layered over 240 pages.

    Proceeds of the book go to the Teenage Cancer Trust and the book is on general release from Sept 5th, but you can pick up advanced copies from Selfridges or, as I did, directly from the Teenage Cancer Trust website.

    Measuring 30×30 it’s a book that takes some shelf space. And why not, it stands out in every other way too 🙂

    New Life

    As some of you know, I’m going to be an uncle soon 🙂

    My bro and sis-in-law were down for a small family gathering a week or so ago and while they were down they asked be to take a couple shots of the ‘bump’for prosperity.

    So, up went a coulple of lights and down went the colorama …. 30 minutes later we were driving to a restaurant to feed the 5 1/2 of us 🙂

    Only snapshots but I thought you may like to share in the celebration of  a much loved little bump:



     

    My role in all this is officially “Wreckless Uncle”
    So in that vein I edited the following entitled “Gimme a Huuuug” 😀

    Bee Love-in

    I was walking down the street earlier when I nearly stood on a couple of bees having a ruck…..

    On closer inspection they seemed to be a bit more, er,  ‘friendly’ than I first thought.
    Am I right in thinking that this is a queen bee being rinsed by a worker bee on the pavement?

    I thought I could hear the strains of Beery White floating over the wind … but I may have been wrong.

    For the animal lovers out there, yes I did pick them up (with a banknote) and tipped them over a wall so they could carry on their business without getting mooshed. On my way back I saw a couple of cigarrette butts and the remnants of some royal jelly on the floor …. 😯
