Don’t Panic!

OK, this is a heads-up to all our friends …

Don’t panic, but nothing much is likely to happen here ’til March.

So far this year everything’s been very full-on and now to complicate things even more Paul is taking a week in the sun.

Steve will be keeping things ticking over on FaceBook so please log in over there and keep him company. FIND GOLD HAMPSHIRE ON FACEBOOK PLEASE join the group and spread the word – thanks.

R.I.P. Cesária Évora
December 17, 2011 By Tom Devriendt

This morning, Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora passed away in Mandelo, São Vicente, the island were she was born. One of the many meanings of “Sodade” — that most difficult to translate Creole word — is a feeling of loss.
