A friend may need one of these songs so I said I would quickly record them. I hope you like the traditional versions of Auld Lang Syne and Sweet Afton by the wonderfully talented Robbie Burns. I will re-sing these for Burns night in January, and if I am really lucky I might even find my old backing tracks which make the songs much better, although I do love singing acapella, all of my errors are easily discovered!! Deepest apologies for the error in the middle, my glasses kept slipping and the words

2020/11/18

Hi, this is a really difficult one for me, Episode 13, with an episode that lasted 13 mins and 13 secs!! I told you in an earlier episode I am trying to forget my fears of the number 13 which has become overwhelmingly debilitating as I attempt to avoid it in every way possible. So this is either a good thing or a terrible thing! This episode is just me singing a few Christmas Carols (please ignore the terrible First Noel!), these are unrehearsed and no fancy equipment, just my cheap microphone and

I will leave you with a few Christmas Carols, they are off the cuff and sung acapella, so please forgive the many errors. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and New Year and my heart goes out for all of the families caught in the turbulent

2020/10/10

This is just a quick addition to the normal episodes for mental health week. I love to sing and should have pursued it, but the bullies won over me, reminding me daily how useless I was and couldn't sing. I sadly listened, and it is only over the last 10 or so years I have finally told myself I can actually sing, but sadly now I can't very often. My allergies are very difficult to manage and require several medications, which dries out my vocal chords. I have not yet found a way to sing for any

Apologies, Episode 6 is another tough one. A week plagued with illness, a migraine and a sad film. This week is about memories, memories of school, nearly all bad, but when going back through my reports for the image, I did win two prizes at the end of High School which I neglect to mention in the Podcast. Memories of my hubby who I miss dearly, so sadly another moving episode with many tears shed. Lastly I have discovered how to add categories to the Blog on my site, so I can now introduce 'The Art

Welcome back to episode 4, I can't believe it has been a month already!! This week I discuss my name, and how I came up with CJ's Crafts. I become tongue tied with the word 'different' and despite trying not to, I continuously use it as it is stuck in my head!! What I am trying to explain is that although I am only 41, I was raised in a tiny village in Norfolk UK which happened to be white with what I believe to be one BAME family who attended a different school in my area growing up (I cannot be

Today's episode, is a tough one. I really wanted an upbeat, happy podcast, but life doesn't always grant a good day, and sadly today was not such a good day for me. I reflect on Autism, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), Sensory Vestibular and the effects it has on both the children (one with all and one NT (Neurotypical)) not to mention the effects on myself. Days like this mean I don't get to be mum, I need my carer hat on, and I need to forget that she doesn't feel in the same way as I do. It
