I don't want to make this post look like a plug for my career, or an ad for my band. But can I just tell you, I am a performer at heart - and last Sunday's first gig back since giving birth was a blooming slice of heaven!
I was delighted to be making music again with my sensational guitarist, brother-in-law and good, good friend Cam. It was the Tidbinbilla Extravaganza and we thoroughly rocked the crowd, especially the kids on a perfect Sunday in the gorgeous surrounds to which the event was dedicated.
Oli waited for me during sets, and fed and cuddled with me during breaks - he is definitely a good stage baby - now road tested for his portability and willingness to be happily minded by his doting grandmother and aunties...
I tell you people it felt good to do what I do! And only seven weeks after giving birth, I felt kind of secretly proud, and clever! I realised that no matter my age, stage or the scale I do it on - I will always perform - it's part of why my heart beats, and my eyes glow...
And clearly for me, it has ever been so.

So lovely to see you performing again. You are so clearly happy performing and on top of the world ;-) I tried leaving a comment on your son Sean's birthday but there doesn't seem to be a way to leave a comment there. Just wanted to say what a handsome and darling boy you have. The slideshow was awesome. I want to wish him a great Big Happy 6th Birthday!
