Little bit of family cycling fun in the Forest of Dean today.

Also first time I've hit(or missed) any jumps in a little while. Very rusty, but it was fun.

Celebrating this Mum today with a proper English afternoon tea, after we worked up an appetite with a hilly bike ride.

Thank you @louisesuttie

When I was a youngen I wanted to write scores for

When I was a youngen I wanted to write scores for films and TV shows. Writing little incidental ditties, theme tunes and music that helped tell the story.

I loved the idea of having a studio somewhere up in the hills with a grand piano, polished wood floors and a panoramic window.

It hasn't happened yet, and probably won't, but you never know.

The closest I've got so far has been writing music for a few TV ads. They're like little mini-movies I guess. Although they haven't paid for a house in the hills, the royalties helped pay for most of my music gear.

I also got to hang out with a mate at Abbey Road while an orchestra recorded the strings for his band's album. It was the same studio so many massive movies like Indiana Jones & Star Wars were recorded in. Fun times

It's nice to get out and about and visit some of our local gardens as they come alive.

With the prospect of lockdown ending, warmer weather and longer days everyone seems to be a bit brighter.

Today was a lovely reminder of why we chose to escape to the country.

Oh so nice to get out in the hills again with sunny blue skies.

First time in a long time that I've done some prop

First time in a long time that I've done some proper cooking. I usually cook when we have guests and well, we haven't had any guests really since moving.

So tonight for something different we had roasted partridge, stuffed and wrapped in streaky bacon. Parnsips, pureed, roasted and deep-fried. Red cabbage braised until sweet. Finished with blobs of walnut puree adding a hit of tang.

The Barolo was an excellent choice from my little somm.

Dessert was cupcakes cooked by the wife, topped with ice cream.

My #babysomm choosing wine for tonight's valentines date. The b'rolo came out on top.

She's also conveniently just the right height to get wines from the back section.
