Today is a day to say say thank you. They say that is what prayer is – saying thanks for what you have. Remembering what you have that is good and there is always something good , however dark the sky overhead is looking. We so easily focus on the negative and forget the good things.  So have a little ponder….The Scaffold were a trio from Liverpool, the handsome one (?) was and still is Paul McCartney’s  brother, who wrote this song under his stage name.

Still lots of conversations about what the Aintree Iron was about.

The thing I like about this song is it’s attitude of grattitude. So easy to forget to celebrate the ordinary and say thanks…this song says it alot…..sing along! x x
