WHILE Margaret’s sorting breakfast I nip along to Betty and Joe’s with some sourdough starter and my ‘instructions’ for Greta.

Catriona and the kids have arrived when I get back and Margaret’s got breakfast (almost!) ready. And nearly set the kitchen on fire it would seem!

I hit the studio and get a little work done then we take the kids up to Cashel for the pumpkin hunt. It’s a bit of a drench day but we have fun and the kids love it.

Then it’s back to the studio for me. I run through a few songs and then work on some gig promo. It’s hard to prioritise the gig promo over the album promo…but, for the moment anyway, bums on seats is the main thing!
