After a few days at home in Leeds, recuperating from my trip to Cologne, I am ready to embark on my next Morrissey trip, this time to London. It is an unusal Morrissey trip in that my husband and son are accompanying me, grabbing an opportunity for a weekend excursion, and we all set off … Continue reading Wembley, 14th March 2020

Leeds, 6th March 2020
When I travelled to Canada to see Morrissey last year, a few people asked me if I thought he would ever do a show in the UK again. Each time, I reluctantly responded that I thought it was unlikely. But despite being able to say those words, I had never really come to terms with … Continue reading Leeds, 6th March 2020
Mid week on the playing fields
The world can be a pretty depressing place, and one of the biggest sources of depression for me has always been observing how utterly stupid people can be. And unfortunately, social media platforms provide a prime example of this. I have for some time been reflecting on how the treatment of Morrissey by the press, … Continue reading Mid week on the playing fields
The Guardian strikes again and again: why Morrissey fans feel so misrepresented
I gave up reading Guardian articles about Morrissey some time ago. But for some reason I did skim read Thursday’s article when it was brought to my attention.

Videos and … Continue reading Dreaming of touching your arm
Why do you hang around?
Imagine you have a favourite restaurant where you have enjoyed eating for a number of years. You’ve always felt comfortable there and you’ve always thought the food is excellent. However, recently you feel things have changed, and for whatever reason, you decide you don’t like it there anymore. What do you do? Do you continue … Continue reading Why do you hang around?
It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate
A few days ago, the Hunt Saboteurs Association shared an article on Facebook reporting that Michael Eavis had resigned from his position of vice-president of Somerset Wildlife Trust, because of his support for the badger cull, which the Trust opposes. The article was followed by the usual string of intelligent, well thought out comments, opening … Continue reading It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate
