So nice!

2 things I would like to add.

1. I first knew of Peter Begvad as a great cartoonist/ illustrator - like his daughter in the water. Still missing his weekly page in the Independent on Sunday.

2. ⁠l’m sure you remember , Lail, meeting Loudon after his gig (of course he sang Daughter) where I said to him ‘and here’s my daughter… she grew up on your songs..’

and he responded ‘She turned out al’right!’

I do remember both these things. The cartoon was called Leviathan. And do you remember what else Loudon said to you? “Great hat!”

I am rather proud of “Odds & Ends”, which does sounds just that bit sharper than “Bits & Bobs” or “Things that don’t fit in any other section”… thanks again!

I so enjoy your stories Lail. After reading them I always wish I could see you for a quick hug, meet your toddler and laugh together for a while. Love the demo btw and your voice sounds touching. Big hug!

Ahhh I am now listening to Daughter in the Water and loving this story. Is it wrong that I'm glad you burst into tears...
