Numb Fingers and Thumbs
As the romantic colours of autumn are receding and the leaves that provided this annual display of splendour are most gone, we once again head into the winter. Until last year the winters in the UK were not much to talk about – to be honest they could be described as non-descript and positively boring.

Chords of Grey - The Making Of The Book
Devotees of Paul Gallagher will be delighted to learn that his new book Chords of Grey is now available. Designed by Eddy Ephraums it is published by Envisage Books and beautifully printed. The design is very opulent with many images being given a single page in a double-page spread and thus plenty of breathing space. Running to just 86 pages it is a selection of masterpieces which should be enjoyed at a slow pace, taking in the richness of both content and tone range.
