Thank you for another great Saturday Snapshots - and all the best to you and yours for Christmas and the New Year. As someone once said: "Let’s hope it’s a good one, Without any fear". Never was a song lyric more apt.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for jogging my brain into action on a Saturday morning. Grateful for anything you do like this next year, different format or not, but appreciate the huge amount of work involved so of course no pressure (we've been spoilt!)
ReplyDeleteIt's not the work, C, I enjoy it. But after 168 weeks, I'm starting to run out of artists I haven't featured before. So I'm going to try something a little different in the New Year; we'll see how it goes.
DeleteBlimey, 168 weeks! No wonder you're starting to run out of artists... Look forward to whatever you have up your sleeve.
