Around this time last year, I optimistically expressed the hope that I'd have more of an online presence in 2025 than in 2024. Not a difficult thing you might think, but it's a prediction that hasn't aged at all well, given that my engagement in this community that I value so much subsequently dwindled to nowt but a trickle in the ensuing 12 months. I'd roughly sketched out ideas for two new series for 2025 and had planned to resurrect another old one, all to no avail. I'll try again in 2026, as and when headspace will allow.
About a month ago I began to scribble down a few words about a selection of my favourite albums of 2025 with a view to putting up a couple of seasonal posts, though, needless to say, the old enemy on the wrist defeated me as inspiration ran dry and fatigue set in. Rather than publish what I've written so far, I'll carry it all over and repurpose it for some posts in the new year, by which time I'll hopefully be bright eyed and bushy tailed!
To close 2025, I'll look forward to one of my big hopes for 2026. Sam Grassie, very much a spiritual heir to Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, has just announced his debut solo LP, 'Where Two Hawks Fly' and released the first music from it, 'Lighthouse Keeper', a lovely song rearranged from an earlier EP.
Compliments of the season one and all and best wishes for the new year.

"The old enemy on the wrist," I like that. Looking forward to reading most blog posts from you when you defeat the enemy.
I like the Sam Grassie song very much, will definitely investigate further. And fingers crossed they find a cure for your Blogging Fatigue Syndrome in 2026.
Always lovely to see you here and hopefully we'll see more next year. But quality over quantity is fine by me! Liking the atmospheric, pensive timelessness of the Sam Grassie song. And from one so young too (as far as I can tell!), excellent.
All the best Swede- hope you find the energy for more next year
Festive greetings TS and look forward to some of these new ideas for your blog next year. Have a nice rest tomorrow.
Wishing you a happy, peaceful Christmas - and hopefully a little break from work?! - with love from me and Mr SDS x
Sending best wishes and festive vibes your way for Christmas... and hopefully a few days off to listen to some great music! Kx
… and a very Happy New Year to you too, TS!
