Frantic last minute attempts to find the perfect, unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for Xmas.
Things aren't looking good, the elusive, perfect hand-made gift just isn't falling into my lap.
I hit up the Market Collective - local artisans and craftspeople, ethical gifts, search, search, but there's nothing remotely giftable for those in my small circle.
The arts and crafts, they're good, just nothing that inspires me, nothing that shouts out "this would be perfect for....".
But in the background, on the stage, there's an artist - Amy Wood - and - surprised that nobody's listening - well, she's good. Very good. Big voice, curious lyrics, local, she should be a lot more popular than this...
