Hi to all my lovely fans and/or listeners. I have had a really weird year and a bit. I collapsed 24th February 2017 and ended up in hospital. I was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis (Temporal Arteritis in the UK) which is inflammation of the arteries at the front of the brain and was started on high doses of steroids. Since then I have only had about 10 days without a thumping headache. Now this isn't a feel sorry for myself letter, I am just stating facts. I went from one small tablet a day to 18 and each has not so nice side effects. My sight is badly affected and my perception, I drop a lot of things and fall frequently. The funny thing is I have had one of the most productive years of my 13 years of writing songs. I have written and co written over 50 in that time of which 40 have been recorded. I am in the process of adding some of my personal songs, that is songs that I wrote for a reason. I do hope that you enjoy listening to them. As always my best song is always going to be my next one. Best wishes to you all and be assured I shall go on writing songs for as long as I am able to see and write. xx MavisEllen
