I wish I was better at putting my berserk emotions into words.

I'm not going to spend time making excuses for my absence. Whenever I first create a blog or a YouTube channel, I never get any views, like any beginner, but its so new and fresh! When I began, I felt committed to write often and best of all and enjoyed it. But me being hyper-active me, the beautiful novelty soon wore off, and just at the point where I was beginning to gain views and start building up my followers.

I'm going to be very honest with you, I did forget about the blog. I abandoned it for new novelties. I started a diary and got going with my YouTube channel. It's my personality not to stick with things (BAD TRAIT- dont follow my example :P). 

Something wonderful happened the other day. *ANECDOTE TIME* (this will go somewhere I promise). So I was on YouNow, which is a random live video streaming thing for YouTubers and musicians and all sorts, and I was sitting there with my beloved Uke strumming away - and someone in the comments requested for me to do the girl on the platform song. After just under year, and me being me, I had completely and genuinely 100% forgotten about my blog post on this in the chaos of my crazy ukulele world. So, I remembered the advert and thought it would be nice to sing the song. So, I just googled it- I wrote "girl on the platform ukulele chords". 

This came up:

I was just, I had completely forgotten about this. I pressed the link and saw my familiar blog. MY BLOG! FIRST ON GOOGLE SEARCH! I'm pretty sure I shed a tear, pathetic I know, but just to know that people wanted to see my posts, that looking back are pretty awful anyway. And when I scrolled down I saw 84 comments! 84! It was crazy to be back in my beautiful ukulele blog world from a year ago, and so lovely, and I just knew I needed to start again, because of all the projects I have started, this blog, I promise, has been the one that I have felt the most at home. Referring to a blog as "at home"- pretty sad, I know, but just honestly. The next thing I went to look at was my email account, and was greeted with floods and floods of emails telling me how much they loved my blog and asking me where I was. I just... GAHH I wish I was better at putting my berserk emotions into words. 

So, ramblings aside, I am now forward facing. I promise that I have returned for good, and this time it's going to be great. I am going to begin with a few changes:

- I firstly might give this blog a makeover. I want to keep the general colour theme of it, and the wooden background, but if anyone is good at ideas for headers or fonts etc. please do email me (email will be at the bottom).

- A linked YouTube channel! Finally and requested by many! BEcause, what is a Ukulele without being able to see and here it. I say there is too much text and video's is the way forward :)

- Contests ! I would love love love to do this! No idea what the prizes could be yet but it would be  lovely way to thank all of my everyones to stick around while I abandoned you (showwy).

- Getting all of you involved ! :D:D:D:D This isnt just about me, because where would my thousands of views be without all of you? And start getting involved RIGHT NOW by commenting your opinions on all of these changed down below! Anything at all- this is a new start and it's down to you :)

Sorry, this ended up rather long didnt it. Remember to help me out by promoting this blog in any way possible if you can, and I won't let you down this time! Ideas, recommendations all welcome. MORE than welcome. I cant thank you all enough- and I cant wait for what this is going to become :)

Towery festival-WHOO:D

I recently went with my friend to Towersy Folk Festival:) it was so much funn and yes - there were ukuleles:)

Probably lost a follower.... Or ten.

Please excuse me while I sit in a corner and feel ashamed !
Everyone has been emailing me asking where I am- but don't worry- I am here now! :)
I can explain- I went on holiday without wifi or a ukulele- so I couldn't update the blog :( it was so frustrating and I've really missed all my late night strums... I'm really sorry I haven't been updating.
Unfortunately- my brilliant 7-year-old laptop has decided to get a virus ... So I can post from my phone- but without any formatting or anything- meaning it will be hard to post full songs- but I will try my best to do all your requests ASAP!
Missed you all:)

Just a quick post to say...

Just wanted to quickly say that I no and am VERY SORRY that I have not been posting a lot recently. I've been annoyingly busy- but on the bright side- the summer holidays are coming up in a week- so hopefully then I will be able to post a lot more:)
Remember to request songs in the comments below or you can email me at :

Okk- so keep checking back for more- I promise in a week there will be :)

Thankss :D

Some of the chords a pretty hard to get to - I know- but i couldnt find any better alternatives. You could try the classic C, G, Am, F chord sequence if u r really stuck. Comment any songs you want doing below!! Enjoy:


Chords:

She [E] passed, she's [G#m] class.
[A] Candy for the eye and a [B] twinkle in her smile, 
And she [E] looks like [G#m] butter wouldn't  [A] melt. Oh-oh [B] Oh. 

He's [E] bewitched, her daddy's [G#m] rich.
You can [A] see she comes from money, but she's [B] still a little honey.
And it [E] looks like [G#m] butter wouldn't [A] melt. Oh-oh [B] No.

He stuttered 
[E] Oh-oh-oh-oh- [G#m] ohh I [A] never thought I'd say this, but I [B] think your so -
[E] Aw-aw-aw-aw [G#m]-awfully nice. Is that [A] alright?' she said [B] 'fine'. 

He was a [A] little bit scared, a [B] little apprehensive
[A] He was just a boy from a [B] local comprehensive.

But he'd heard that.
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,
Because they [A] never got to hang around with [B] boys at school.
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,
Because they [A] never got to hang around with [B] boys at school.

She [E] seems, pristine [G#m], but [A] don't be deceived, ‘cause [B] she's not that naive
Although it [E] looks like [G#m] butter wouldn't [A] melt. [B]


He had a [E] fright, that [G#m] night.
She'd [A] opened his eyes to a [B] world of surprise,
And the [E] butter, oh the [G#m] butter it had [A] gone, it had [B] gone.

She said [E] 'ohhhhhhhhhhh'. [G#m]
With a [A] twinkle in her eye, she [B] said ‘oh my - 
Take me [E]  hooooooooo [G#m] oooome [A] tonight, [B] tonight.He was a [A] little bit scared, a [B] little apprehensive
[A] He was just a boy from a [B] local comprehensive. 
But he'd heard that.
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,
Because they [A] never got to hang around with [B] boys at school.
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,
Because they [A] never got to hang around with [B] boys at school. 

Same pattern: [E] [G#m] [A] [B]
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
Wrapped in a perfect arse.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
The poor boy never stood a chance.

Is it true what they say about posh girls?
Is it true what they say about posh girls?
Is it true what they say?
Is it true what they say about posh girls?
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,
Because they [A] never got to hang around with [B] boys at school.
[E] Posh girls have good manners, but they go [G#m] like the clappers,

There's nothing like a little bit of class.
They'll all said it's never gonna last.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
Wrapped up in a perfect arse.
