Welcome

We love March • There are several musical nudges that come to me at certain times of the year – for some reason the month of March makes me think of the great Rodgers and Hammerstein anthem that is now forever linked with the city of Liverpool. In my head I change the lyrics to “March on, March on. With hope in your heart. And you’ll never March alooooooone”. It all seems appropriate as we near the brighter foothills of new growth and warmer days. We march on together through the inevitable storms with the promise of the golden sky of springtime just over the horizon.
