Our family has always made a point of turning tragedy into comedy as fast as we can - so I really shouldn’t have been surprised by our son Adrian's post from Malta.
Yep that’s me in the wheelchair!
In Malta for a brief break after our incredible Irish Music Safari and... wet feet in thongs plus sandstone steps equals fall and serious fractured left leg below the knee!
Surgery next week which will mean ‘Please step to the side Sir - you appear to have a screw loose’ at every airport security point. 😟
Before I go does anyone have any tips on the use of crutches? This is my first time around and I just can’t seem to get the hang of it!

There have been so many high points so far on our Irish Music Safari that it would be pointless to shine a light on any particular experience… these photographs represent part of the diversity of our journey. 🇮🇪
The big discovery for me has been the recognition that, without any conscious effort on my behalf, I share so much in common with the Irish musical & lyrical style and tradition. Adding my unique Australian take of course... but sharing so many core elements! Maybe there is more in our genes than meets the eye…

Tough day in the office! 🍻😂 Enjoying the best of the Irish at Ireland’s oldest pub (they claim) ‘Blakes of the Hollow’ in Enniskillen with my musical mate Gary Curruthers and our wonderful tour guide, Mark!

What better way to prepare for a long haul flight- a quick dip and a beer! 🍺 Who knows what the weather will be like on the other end but we'll have a great time regardless. I'll tell you all about it later... or you might hear about it in a song! 😉

Great catching up with The Wolfe Brothers, Christie Lamb and Lee Kernaghan at their concert in Mackay on Saturday night. A really enjoyable high energy show!
Sunday was spent a little more laid back- songwriting with Tom and Nick Wolfe (The Wolfe Brothers) for their upcoming album.
And to top off a great weekend, a drink (... or two) with three of our five sons to celebrate Fathers Day! 🥃🎉
How did you spend your weekend?
