Except that she looked “bloody good on a horse?” Maybe you can learn something from The Divine Comedy’s new song?
A few years ago, Neil Hannon, made this video for the Culture Show. I love this and he creates the perfect Eurovision song.
Not something I really want to think about, and something that I found very hard to choose. But I adore this. Sorry to use Neil Hannon again, but his voice is sublime here, and I love that it’s live. I had to use my favourite singer for this one.
Neil Hannon has revealed that he has named some horses at his horse sanctuary – the wonderfully named My Lovely Horse Rescue – on Radio 2 this morning. I think I would go for Jimmy Sticklebrick.

I’d love to say that I’ve been hugely busy, or that I’ve had lots of other massively important things to be doing instead of writing for here. But it wouldn’t be true. This month seems to have flown by without me really contributing much to it. Let’s see what I have actually achieved this June… […]
