Music

Those of you who know me know music is a very important part of my life, and I certainly use it to inspire me, calm me, get my creative juices flowing, or merely blank out the extraneous noises around me to allow me to concentrate. And with four kids and a dog, there's certainly plenty of extraneous noise.

So, this is the soundtrack to Merlin's Gold, and I've also got it linked on my profile to Spotify if you fancy listening to it that way. There's a bit of everything here from classical to good old rock and roll, with a few oddities, and bits and bobs thrown in for good measure.

The last one perhaps a wish for the future...
