✨19/52✨ This week has mainly been trying (and failing) to trick Dorian into consuming antibiotics. Celebrated two lovely friends getting hitched, and polytunnel domination with my favourite DIY partner @katieblack9
✨18/52✨ Lots is sunny outside times this week. Had the beach to myself at the beginning of the week and ended with a weekend up the allotment. Digging = pints.
✨17/52✨ @katieblack9 and a I finally got the polytunnel up on the new plot…partially. Gloria continues to escape after multiple wing clippings. Some lovely trio gigs this week. Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango.
✨16/52✨ Some glorious swims this week. An abundance of kingfishers. Baby wrens and robins in the garden. Spring is showing off now. Records arrived - been making a nuisance of myself at the post office. A spellbinding @folkatyalm with @martinsimpsonmusic to end a lovely week.
VINYL IS HERE! Orders will be on their way to you tomorrow morning. And anyone else who would like them - Please for the LOVE OF CHICKENS help us downsize these boxes that are about to go up in the spare room with all the The Shackleton Trio records, Harry’s Seagull records, PA, monitors, tunebooks and all the other clobber we cart around.
You can help us over on Bandcamp. Just search ‘Georgia Shackleton From The Floorboards’.
Recorded beautifully on location by Aaren Bennett and in the studio by @samkellysings

Thanks to @niczuppardi for the sleeve design. Lots of hard work has gone into this from lots of lovely friends ❤️

✨(15/52)✨Started the week in Spain & ended in the toon. Met a new tiny pal this week 🐣and had a wonderful concert for Lucy, catching up with lots of good humans.
Fantastic news - 'From the Floorboards' just entered the Official UK Folk Chart at #37 this week. Thank you to everyone who has supported it so far. It really makes a difference, especially for an independent release like this.
If you've been meaning to grab a copy, now is the perfect time - Vinyl is on the way should finally be arriving next week! You can order CD/digitally/Vinyl or the accompanyting tune / song book through Bandcamp.
Aaren and I have worked really hard on this project and have some lovely gigs coming up playing out this album, separate to our Shackleton Trio gigs - and we'd love to see you there!
And do check out the fantastic, full @folkonfoot on Youtube, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also revisit our walk on The Norfolk coast from this time last year!

✨(13/52)✨ A lovely final ‘Monday Folk Singers’ for EFDSS. Some bits of recording for pals, and lots of pre-birthdays sillies with some of my favourite sillies. And That.glass.chicken.
✨(12/52)✨ this week was bought to you by TADPOLE EMERGENCY 🚨 and Stephie’s birthday. 🎂 Chickens also had their wings clipped. As you can see it was a roaring success. And they’re currently next door.
