It was a labour of love to write this article. Perhaps the most difficult subject to analyse. I approached it with trepidation but walked away with joy. Mums and daughters. Sons and mums. We’ve all walked similar paths. It’s out March 13th #YoursRetro #JudyGarland

👏 #AI backlash. Save our music. I pity younger generations who will never know their arses from their elbows when it comes to real or fake ‘Artists release silent album in protest at AI copyright proposals’

My all time favourite photograph of #JudyGarland in A Star Is Born. The perils of auditions and interviews 😊 Anyone fancy seeing my portfolio? Happy Sunday

I love this fabulous photograph from 2018. My wonderfully plump late mother in one of her post-hospital respite care stays. She was sharing a room, and the two ladies didn’t get on too well. A constant fight over the TV remote control. Lots of tutting and huffs. Joan and Bette 🤣

Fascinating insight into my distant relatives. They look rather grand. I sort of feel sorry for Joseph William (1889 - 1967) with all of that stern girl power in the room, bless him 🤣
