Who bids the mighty ocean deep/ It's own appointed limits keep/ O hear us when we cry to thee/ For those in peril on the sea....

Back from a few days flying and living with the crews of A Flight, 202 Squadron, RAF Search And Rescue at Boulmer, Northumbia. I am still reeling and dazed from an incredible experience and feel very privilaged to have flown on operations with these amazing people. It was awesome, awesome, awesome,awesome,awesome,awesome.. etc, etc....

I never want to hear you say/ I want it that'a way..

Busy Easter of shoots (DELPHIC and MIIKE SNOW for Nylon and BEGGARS for the band) and a wedding in Dorset. The Heavenly Jukebox should get a mobile disco...

Wanna ask but I just stare/ Can I run my hands through your car wash hair?....

Quick catch up: The birthday of the seven inch single was celebrated in style at the bar in no lesser company the Mr Edwin Collins and Mr Bob Stanley, fitting; The chislers had some sort of happening at the Amersham, Saul should be the villain in the next Batman movie; The Kilcourse outfit gigged en-mass last night at the Academy in Bristol watching Pete and always beautiful Starsailor....and last but by no means least a hearty welcome to planet earth was given to the dear and very sweet offspring of theoxo.blogspot.com outside the hallowed ground of The Market Porter Borough Market....Doves fourth album 'Kingdom Of Rust' is out today. The most beautiful, seering and important album of rock music for what seems like years. Go and buy it....really fucking go and buy it....

Far above the ocean/ Deep under the sea theres a river running dry 'cos of you and me..

Some belated pics from South Africa last week. Josh and I flew over there for a few days to do loads of dangerous things for 100 Greatest Adventures. There is a dark and very specific vibe to Africa and I will return.
