Noel, thanks for checking back every now and then. I appreciate it. David, what "photo shoot" are you referring too? Thanks for the comment. Mario, thanks for popping it and robert for your ongoing support. It is not unnoticed.

I seem to have hit a bit of a roadblock and dont seem to be able to put music to these lyrics I wrote. They are based on a story told by Sigrid Rausing on Desert Island Discs. I am posting them in the hope that somebody clever can make a folk or country song out of them...sort of in the style of Emmylou Harris or John Denver. Anyone like to have a go?

Heather and juniper

There once was a field
outside my back door
of heather and Juniper
Council decided
to dig all this up
Replacing it with conifers

Chorus/tag line

In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper

One night after dark
My father woke up
He so hated conifers
He took us with him
To dig up the trees
Planted amongst the juniper

In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper

But when I knelt down
To pull up those trees
Hiding in the juniper
with a lump in my throat
I could not complelte
And left alone the conifers

In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper

bridge
Years have gone past and
One breathless day
I went to the see the juniper
And in that field
Stood tall and stood proud
those beautiful old conifers

In those fields
Those beautiful fields
of heather and juniper
