An Introduction

Hello there…

So here is a quick introduction to www.cdmiller.co.uk.  My name is Colin, or just CDM on here for short, and this is a blog, written by myself, about things I do I guess.

Why a blog then?

Well, blame the Covid 19 pandemic I guess.  Usually, I wouldn’t have this much spare time on my hands.  I work full-time for a publisher in south west London, and up until the lockdown, I was also a wedding and events photographer, with almost ten years experience.

Lockdown happened, and then naturally people stopped getting married.  As a result, I have a bit more spare time than what I would usually have.

I live with my family – my wife Holly and our two kids, so I guess I don’t have that much spare time.  But enough spare time to set up another website and keep myself busy with other things.

Thing is, I used write several blog years ago and then my photography business picked up and I had no time left. I also used to write film reviews (mostly for Movie Ramblings), video game reviews and other bits and pieces.  I kinda missed it to be honest.

So here I am, several years and one pandemic and I’m back at it again.

Go on then, what’s this one about then?

Pretty much anything really.  I initially thought I’d set this up and write mostly about music.  When times allows, I like to plug in various instruments and make noises with them, so I guess you can expect some of that.

That said, I have a feeling I will go off on tangents about other things (but hopefully not politics).  I enjoy my films, I enjoy days out (when they’re allowed and we’re not in lockdown), I absolutely love photography, cameras and guitars. 

So yeah, who knows where this will go… but I’ll do my best to not bore anybody.

About And Your Bird Can Sing It's been a while since I've done anything for the Monday Sessions.  Life post-lockdowns has been a bit nonstop. Anyhow, I managed to record this a few weeks ago.  Got myself a new Baritone Ukulele and decided to record this track as a...

So back in 2004 to 2006, I could quite often be found in the basement of an office block in Kingston, playing guitar with 3 other musicians. We never performed live, but we'd meet up at least twice a week and play whatever songs we felt like.   Around 2005, I began to...

About Merry Xmas Everybody As John Lennon once sung, so this is Christmas...  So yeah, as Christmas approached us this year, I began to consider whether I should bother recording a festive song or not. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas songs, most of them are...
