ECLECTIC MIX MAY 2022
Welcome one and all, for herein lies another monthly tour through the playlist which has been filling my ears. May has been a bit of a hit and miss weather wise. We’ve had the odd day of fine weather, and late sunny afternoons, but still not the warm summer we’d all love. On the flipside the days have gotten a lot longer. You wake up and it’s bright (which helps put a little more spring in the step) and the daylight extends well into the evenings. So, the signs are there, hopefully the summer is just around the corner. So, this playlist is semi-reflective of this varied-ness in the weather and being honest is probably the most eclectic one I’ve made in quite some time. So, I hope you enjoy!
