''Music review'': Taylor Davis and Adam Hurst

Welcome to my Dark and Gloomy realm of the music of the night my fabulous Darklings,
        Mwahaha..........Okay a bit OTT but I like having fun so there........Anyways (shifts awkwardly) This post I shall be indulging your ears with some spectacular Modern-Classical (as I like to phrase it) in the form of the wonderful Adam Hurst ,who those of you familiar with 2009 Vampire Balls Midnight Waltz will be fairly familiar with, and the glorious Taylor Davis.
Now both of these talented musicians have You-Tube accounts which I myself have recently come to be listening to their inspiring creations very frequently as of late. So let us start with the Magnificent Adam Hurst and his Cello.

Is he not just a wonderful player? As those of you who have read my previous music review post(s) will know I do enjoy listening to Cello players. However that does not mean in any way that I only listen to the Cello, Oh no and as such this is where I would like to highlight the lovely Taylor Davis and her inspired creations of popular game music, movie themes and own creations.

Each of these 2 musicians have unique styles and personalities but they share one very key element. The passion for music. I myself feel that every musician no matter how novice or underrated is truly great so long as they have a passion for what they do and they enjoy it. please go and check these people out and buy their albums if you like them its what helps keep music as beautiful as this turning up every day, year, week and minute.

blessed be

Valentines;a late post

Good day my Lovely Darklings,
                  This post I shall be regaling to you the wondrous weekend that was my Valentines with my wonderful partner Howard.

I had been planning all week to give him a gift that cannot be priced in anything but love and as such I took a leaf out of Japans book and made him chocolates

The recipe for which I used to guide me in making them can be found here I used very dark chocolate so they act as a treat to be eaten in small doses :) . In return he gave me 2 gifts for which I had not expected and scolded him for spending too much money although I didn't really mind as they where so gloriously beautiful and Anne Stokes is one of my favorite artists 

Are they not glorious?

That night he cooked a wonderful meal for me that was absolutely delicious as I have always had a fondness for oriental cuisine topped with a bottle of wine and candlelight it was a perfect evening. The next night we visited the Suffolk food barn for a decadent meal consisting of all locally sourced products such as Norfolk Mussels and Pheasant it was divine although my personal favorite was the desert baked pear wrapped in pastry with honey pecans and ice cream sumptuous and delicious 

I would highly recommend anyone visiting this establishment although be warned it is quite pricey but worth every penny that you spend.

What did you get up to on valentines this year? I would love to here your stories, answer your questions and queries at any time you can either leave me a comment or email me @ ms.lunatgw@gmail.com 

thank-you for reading and blessed be!

A Texan Wedding

Greetings my dearest Darklings,
                   Oh dearie dearie me I have gotten very behind again haven't I? Nevertheless I am back after a very long hiatus period and there is still so much to tell you all. However first and foremost I must say a massive happy 2014 to all you delicious readers in the vast realms of the inter-webs and thank-you for continuing your support of my blog all throughout this long online dry spell.

Now onto the topic of this long awaited post about my 2013 trip to the sunny state of Texas during one of its longest droughts in many years.
Now the first few days of my journey to this wonderful land where long tiring and altogether wonderful but I suppose it is best to start from the beginning isn't it?

So here we go;
As any trip does start it began with that last minute rush to ensure that everything had been packed and was weighed correctly this was technically done the night before but I would like to remind my dear readers that when you are awaking at 3am in the morning to catch a flight it technically counts as the same day in this witches book ^^ and after all us nocturnal creatures of the night revel in the twilight hours of dawn before we head off to our velvet lined coffins to sleep in any case ^.^
So when we arose from our disturbed slumber, bleary eyed and fighting for our maximum of a 2 min shower, we ensured for the third and fourth time that we had everything whilst plying ourselves with caffeine in the forms of coffee or tea alongside a snack to keep us going till the airport. Below is a picture of my brother who always seems to have energy in surplus and my sort of cousin (through marriage) just minutes before clambering into a taxi to head to the airport in London.

After a long and exhausting flight then internal flight when we reached Texas we met with my soon to be Nanny Joan who took us to the well known eatery of Applebees before heading to her home and business in driftwood Texas http://www.driftwoodkennels.com/index.html .

After collapsing a few short hours later in the wonderfully welcoming bed that night i slept as any little bat would and awoke to this site out the living room window the next morning.

It was absolutely enthralling to me and if you notice in the left hand bottom corner you can just about see the silhouette of this little lady, may I introduce you to Poppy Nanna Joan's faithful companion

Beautiful isn't she :) 

Now this land being as beautiful and green as it is may not be what you expected when I said I was going to Texas but in reality there is only a small percentage of the land that is desert-like in its nature and Driftwood certainly is not part of it. Now as I am sure I have mentioned this but I shall recap your memories some as it was a while ago but I was here for a wedding and not just any wedding but the marriage of my mum to her (Now new husband) Kevin and as such the first few days where spent shopping for items for the wedding and preparing for the big day interspersed with days to places like Barton Creek and after the day itself a water park and also the most iconic tourist destination in Texas. The Alamo. below are some of the pictures i took whilst visiting this magnificent place with one of the most significant parts of Texan and american history for in the words of Davy Crockett 'you may all go to hell and i shall go to Texas'

But now for the wedding itself I suppose as it is the title of this particular post. I was a bridesmaid naturally and it was held at the Wizards academy chapel dolcinea

.

beautiful isn't it and it was a wonderful day for a wedding also

the cake was made by one of Joan;s good friends in Texas and we ate at a magnificent Italian restaurant with its own vineyard.

as always i hope you enjoyed this post and can cope with my hideous grammar and such but thank you for reading please comment and suggest ideas for new posts and if you have any questions you can email me @ ms.lunatgw@gmail.com

blessed be
