Welcome to my blog. This is my on-line diary and "remembrall". I write about home, family, books, gardening,cooking, op-shops, my personal stories of nostalgia and occasional forays into knitting or art and craft. If I love something I will blather on about it, for nothing, all the time! Sunday, November 18, 2012 lionheart For my last birthday my husband had a nice stereo put into my old ( 1996) car - prior to this there was only a radio and busted cassette player . The only radio station I ever have on is 774 ABC,  but if that's irritating me I listen to music. I have a run on a CD and play it endlessly until I'm sick of it and it then it goes back into the house. This year I have done to ( car ) death David Bowie ( best of), Lisa Mitchell, David Sylvian and just a couple of days ago I found Kate Bush's Lionheart CD and have been playing that. On the first day I swear I drove about with the hairs raised on my arms, crying on and off, because it brought back so clearly the days of listening to it at home with my sister ( it was her long playing vinyl album), doing homework at the dining table* while Mum ironed endlessly in our little kitchen, or she made bread rolls or was knitting in the corner in "her" chair. God, those memories. I remember every single word of every song
