Sharon and I had a great birthday day out in Dundee. We called it Dundee’s Greatest Hits as we spent some of the day revisiting many of the places we had been to before during my previous visits to Sharon’s home city! The V&A, Oor Wullie, Minnie The Minx, Desperate Dan, The McManus Art Gallery & Museum. We also paid a first time visit (for me) to Dundee Rep Theatre after we had an amazing high tea at Chez Mal Dundee (Malmaison). A truly fab day and we even bumped into a very famous actor but I’ll respect his privacy and not name him!
It’s my birthday and I’ll celebrate Toyah if I want to :) Today I turned 59!!! I’m now in my 60th year. To mark the announcement of Twenty-Four From Toyah I’m also celebrating the artwork from one of my favourite Toyah singles/EPs, the gorgeous reverse of the Four More From Toyah sleeve from November 1981, released when I was just 14.
We – Alec, Sharon and me – had a great, and very colourful, day out in Edinburgh to celebrate all three of our birthdays, but mostly Alec’s (Sharon and I will be having another day out for ours, as they are only three days apart, very soon!). We paid a visit to Paddington – we always do – on St Andrew Square and then had breakfast at The Standing Order. Later on we had an amazing birthday afternoon tea at gorgeous Tigerlily in Morningside, which took a couple of hours and was a lot of fun, with delicious food. We spent the remainder of the day in Edinburgh’s Old Town, including on the Royal Mile, at the Castle and Victoria Street. Such a fantastic day!
Sending Best Wishes and Many Happy Returns to Toyah… Not only my favourite pop star since the age of 12, but a woman, and artist, who continues to inspire me – and numerous others! Happy Birthday Toyah!!
This is a weekend of celebration for Toyah & Robert (and Fripp & Eno). Robert’s birthday was on Friday, the same day Toyah & Robert celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary. Today is Toyah’s birthday and Dreamscape is sending them the very best wishes. Thank you for so many years of bringing so much happiness, entertainment and joy to so many people x
