The essence of Mary Maud, and we still can’t get enough!

I am upset and MAD that the high street is calling it winter already; although I should have been prepared having seen the catwalks for winter months ago : (
Despite trying to tell myself that the denim cut offs and Gladiators are staying on, I can’t help being drawn to the sequins and the heavy velvet of winter.
Lovvers are playing in Leeds this week and it’s totally free - this is macca for the poor youth of today (poor = no cash not sad, youth = under 30 due to currently climate and that, macca = a northern word once used in playgrounds to mean large).
This is great cos their album is also out this week - plus they’ve released detailed of a tour in September.
