The build up to Christmas has been a little more interactive this year. A week ago we welcomed a new little baby boy into our family and as I look at this beautiful, helpless bundle it has really made me think long and hard about the audacious story told every year.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the bond between us band of musical brothers The jacks. There is a Bible Verse that says, ‘there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother’.

After years of trying to be the next bright young thing I finally find I’m an Antique Star!
Isn’t culture wonderful. The Italians with their Roman architecture, their love of food and style and their love of love. The French again with their gastronomic delights and that ‘je ne sais quoi’ and their ‘Joie de vivre’. It’s just a shame we don’t have any culture…do we?
