Any song that has upbeat lines like: “We can be the champions, we can own the nightThis could be the greatest moment of our lives Fighting ’til the last in the dust, no, we won’t back down(Champions, champions)It’s time to let the whole world know” is a winner in my …
This fabulous track “WONDERFUL” is now well & truly on my running playlist, thanks to my equally wonderful son who seems to know exactly what kind of music his ol’ Mum would like 🙂 And he is so right. With our family love for Africa (where we used to live), …
Having quite a wonderfully South African morning. By way of background – before moving permanently to India, we lived in SA for 6 fabulous years and it is one of the most wonderful places on the planet. So, listening to a running podcast this morning from SA, with the lovely …
