Beautiful and so honest story that is full of adventure Shoni. I didn’t know you are so talented, a lyricist, composer and singer! And clearly such a good writer as well👏🥰 so many twists & turns yet so pure!

Thanks Sheetal, I'm not sure I'm good at any of those things, but I work at them and enjoy them, which is probably the main thing!

Glad to hear! It's always fun to write, and sometimes gives me new perspectives. Still a bit to go on this story though.

Omg I remember this song!! Actually found myself singing along cos I remembered the words.

I love your writing so much Shones. It's amazing how you remember the past with such clarity. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, you are brilliant xxx

Thanks Faith! The trick is to just write the bits I do remember and make up the rest 😂

What a fascinating life you've had!

Yes, he's totally hot. Some people might think you a fool for high-tailing it out of there. Others might think it was probably a wise decision. As long as you got a song or two out of it, though.

And you clearly got a lot further in your musical ambitions than I ever did. Mind you, you can sing and I can't.

Looking forward to your next part.

I hope you still write songs. And I'm guessing you have also passed down your love of music to your next generation...

Haha, yeah, we were only friends at the time, and still wish each other happy birthday on Facebook. I write the occasional song now but often don't get around to recording or memorising them so they disappear back from whence they came. Focus is on the writing for the time being. Any creativity is good though, right?? (And yeah, he has a sister, but she's also married with kids now - we all are lol)

He's clearly got a sensitive side as well, that hot bloke, cheerily feeding that cute little monkey.

Speaking as someone who bats for the other side, even I can see how gorgeous he is and one of those rare blokes I wouldn't kick out of bed.

Does he have a sister? [winky eye]
