This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area.

Another One Bites the Dust: Christine McVie (1943-2022)
Christine McVie was born 'Christine Perfect'. In her era, many pop stars would have kept the latter name (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/30/fleetwood-macs-christine-mcvie-dies-at-age-79). McVie was a mainstay singer/songwriter for Fleetwood Mac, a group formed in 1967. Fleetwood Mac became a dominant force in the 1970s and 1980s, with successive albums entitled Fleetwood Mac and Rumours. The group's name was actually derived from two of its founder-members, namely Mick Fleetwood and one of Christine's former husbands, John McVie. The group has had an chequered history, with numerous associations and breakups. Christine McVie, a real talent, was responsible for some of Fleetwood Mac's best-known tracks.
