Happy Monday :)

Morning everyone and a Happy Monday to you! Hope your week has started as well as mine - just got myself and my sister tickets to Mumford and Sons in November! So excited!

This week I have a couple of exciting things coming up on You May Say I'm a Dreamer. Part three of Strawberry Jammin' will be coming your way and I have a new weekly feature starting on Wednesday, which I'm calling either Midweek Authors or Wednesday Writers (thoughts?), where I share with you an interview with a published author, who, through a series of questions, tells us about who they are, their love of writing, their challenges and triumphs, and may also share some of their writing secrets like that problem we all face: How on Earth do you combat procrastination?

So make sure you check in on Wednesday, where I'll be featuring Kristi Jones, author of The Corpse Goddess.

Have a fabulous week! xo

How great are Mumford and Sons?!

Every time I hear this music - I have the album, Mumford and Sons "Sigh No More", on both CD and vinyl - I just want to write, and write, and write. Pour my thoughts out of my head onto paper into beautiful words like these. One of my favourite winter nights this year was curling up by the fire listening to the record revolving on my new record player and reading the lyrics off the back of the cover. For me, it is so refreshing to know that beautiful, meaningful music like this still exists and is not 40 years old. Every one of them is still alive and young and touring the world with their magic.

As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts

Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?

For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"

We'll be washed and buried one day my girl

And the time we were given will be left for the world

The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague

So let the memories be good for those who stay

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no"

Yes, my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"

Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved

Was the same that sent me into your arms

Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone

And no hope, no hope will overcome

And if your strife strikes at your sleep

Remember spring swaps snow for leaves

You'll be happy and wholesome again

When the city clears and sun ascends

And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no"

And my head told my heart

Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"
