The Corrs - Talk on Corners
The Corrs are a band who hail from Ireland. They are made up of four siblings, Jim and his three sisters, Andrea, Sharon and Caroline. I think they have a really unique sound with beautiful beautiful voices. I would describe their music and folk based with lots of meaningful lyrics. They also have quite an Irish based sound as well, on a lot of their songs there is a background Irish rythm which is what I think makes them quite a different type of mainstream band.
What I also love about them is that they all can actually play instruments and to me that is a sing of a true musician and band. They include a lot of different sounds in their songs and I really think this adds depth. For example, some of the instruments they play include the tin whistle, violin, drums, guitar and keyboard.

Honeymoon at Hedgehog Corner
Background
In my third or fourth review I had read a book called 'The Dinosaur Hunters'. In this review I told you (partly because of this book) we would be visiting Lyme Regis and the Natural History Museum on our honeymoon
The area of Lyme Regis was beautiful, we walked to The Cobb and after a couple of hours on the beach fossil hunting and grinning at 2p machines, I bought one from The Fossil Shop for £3.
Setting
I chose this place from internet searches of Lyme Regis on the internet. It was the first place I saw that looked like a true honeymoon destination. This is the only place we booked out of eight places we stayed in for our honeymoon. I called to ask of The Retreat was available when we wanted to book. It was and I booked it out for a reasonable, yet pricey £90 a night. More than we ...
