I thought it was time to post a word to give all a quick update.
The holiday season is in full swing and we are enjoying a busy and happy time with many Christmas festivities arranged. Our youngest daughter Lilly, aged 9, recently sang ‘Silent Night’ in Cold Aston church and tonight our family will sing ‘In The Bleak Midwinter’.

Steve Winwood has just been informed that he will receive an honorary doctorate degree from Aston University. Steve is from Birmingham, England, and the local University is honouring him with this degree in recognition of his career achievements. Steve is thrilled by the gesture, especially since it comes from a University in his hometown.
A message from Steve Winwood in response to a letter posted by Dave Mason on his Website:
I had thought after our brief but amicable chat at the R&R HOF, and our "smiley hug," as captured immortally on camera, that Dave and I had finally put our differences behind us. Imagine my dismay when I read the message that was posted on his website. At least I suppose we are at last letting our feelings be known, which must be better than holding them in, mustn't it? Anyway here I go with a couple of my own thoughts:
At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony on March 15th, Traffic was honored for their contribution to rock and roll music in America. Dave Matthews presented the honor. Members of Traffic performed Dear Mr. Fantasy to the packed ballroom. Winwood also sat in on George Harrison's tribute performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and was part of the all-star finale performance of "Feelin' Alright."
