Wishing all the best to my friends Fran and Pete who are getting married today. Fran is a wonderful songwriter, and has a fantastic ear for a melody. And Pete came along to our songwriting retreats because of Fran, then inevitably got dragged into bravely having a shot at writing one himself.

I don’t think Pete, who is an engineer by trade, would have ever imagined writing a song before he met Fran. It’s amazing what love can do. And it’s another fine example of stepping outside our comfort zones and trying things that we might never have imagined doing.

Although I would definitely not recommend that you ever use me to sort out an engineering problem.

Good luck to the happy couple! They’re lovely people and it’s going to be a joy to celebrate with them today.
