Cheers to our good friend The Rhythm Doctor for sending us pictures of his garden in Tallinn, Estonia presently covered with snow and don’t it look great! The pic above is Hortensia (aka Hydrangea) which looks like an upside down chandelier.

The above are three apple trees in a row and a cherry tree to the left of them and the great shot below is a smart looking BBQ oven (with a hat on) standing guard outside the woodshed.

And finally below some blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes. We love these photos!

And Chris picked this apt tune from the great John Holt called “Winter World of Love”, the original performed by some chap called Engelbert Humperdink (the song was written by Barry Mason and also Les Reed, the man responsible for the Radio Northsea theme tune “Man of Action.”)

And here’s a great little mix of the featured tune by the great DJ Algoriddim check his other mixes here.

And not forgetting (below) this week’s edition of The Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room on IDA Radio Tallin a wonderful Monday morning show (with reggae, chilled, electronica, jazz and all sorts) from 9 – 11am UK time here. Big shout to Chris RD for playing an extended mix of Jasmine Tutum & Madtone‘s Return To The Branches at 26 mins in and also 1 hour and 10 mins in, their Earth Citizen track. Cheers Chris!

If you fancy sending us a pic of your garden in the snow send us a pic to onedeckpete at gee mail dot com plus a tune of your choice. Cheers!

Big shout to our good mate The Rhythm Doctor for sending us a weather report out of the studio window of IDA Radio, Tallinn this morning. They’ve just had some snow out there and the top temperature in Tallinn for this forthcoming week is predicted to be -5 C. We’re certainly will not be complaining about the weather here!

If you want to listen to something great on a Monday morning tune in here for a two hour selection of Jazz, Reggae, Electronica and downbeat from 9am. It’s a show well worth tuning into!

We heard it on the radio

Cheers to our good friend The Rhythm Doctor for playing this chilled out piece of summer inspired balearica from John Beltran called La Hermosa Vista on his excellent Monday morning radio show “The Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room” (all shows available here). If you want two hours containing some great tunes from chilled, funk, reggae, jazz and a lot more on a Monday morning you want to be tuning into IDA Radio – Tallinn from 9-11am UK time. Here’s this week’s show:

There won’t be many words in this post just mainly pictures from the garden earlier. The first (below) is the result of the random throwing around of seed when receiving them from ebay (This is possibly from a wild flower mix). With the flowers we very rarely mark out seed drills and stick down plant labels, it’s straight out of the bag and onto the bed.

And the second is a rather strange and wonderful freshly picked tomato. It seems a shame to eat it!

And the third is the super tall Sunfower looking down on us ready to flower. This one next to the garage is nearly 10 foot. Bonkers.

And on in the background whilst we were writing this post was this week’s Rhythm Doctor’s Waiting Room on IDA Radio Tallinn (every Monday from 8-11 UK time and archived here). There’s lots of musical goodness on the show as udsual and at the start some works from one Vladimir Tarasov teased in and out of other downtempo gear. A idea “stick it on the stereo” midweek summer evening listen.
