Spring has arrived earlier this year, thanks to Morrissey and his European tour which has started in Aarhus in mid-February and has finished tonight in Seville. I have not yet the time to finish all my posts about the four ( they should have been five ) concerts I have had the chance to attend (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Lille and Zurich) and this rentrée will not allow me to write more, at least for the next two weeks. Below, some pics of Morrissey's concert in Seville, via Getty

A quiet walk in my favourite Parisian park, far from Hell and evil people. Unfortunately, it is also far from Seville, where Morrissey will sing tonight. Sing and shine tonight, Fantastic Bird! Art is an Eternal Spring. I hope I will see You again in Europe this year, during my school holidays. Below, some flowers from my havre de paix in Paris. Photos by me.

I started this week by my retrouvailles with my beloved park, and I am ending it by coming back to the Bar behind the Grands Boulevards where I sing every Sunday evening. I am already here early in the afternoon for the rehearsals of our next cabaret.

Some flowers for YOU. Photos taken by me in my favourite Parisian park, this afternoon. P. S. It was a great concert, and I knew it. Los cabrones working for the Spanish press will be furiously disappointed. Below, two pictures of the concert, found on the Web. I will edit with due credits when I found the photographer's name or nickname. #flowersfromParis #toYOU #SilverBoy #SingandShine #Morrissey #VeradaPozzo #ItalyisMine #italyismineanditowesmealiving

I prefer the English version of this proverb with "sailor" instead of "shepherd" because shepherds (except the Good One, of course) do not care about sheep just for their own sake, but for milk and meat.

Milano is an awful city, dull, shallow, frivolous, corrupted, polluted, extremely expensive and impossible to live for the working class people, but I would have endured the pain of going there just for attending Morrissey's concert tonight. Unfortunately, school holidays are over and tomorrow I have to come back to the chain gang, but I am sure that it will be a great concert and I do hope somebody will post on YouTube some videos or even the full concert. Sing and shine, Si

Mother Nature has her Seasons: Each of Them has its Charms And these Flowers are for You, Fantastic Bird, Dearest Friend: You are a Real Artist indeed And Art is an Eternal Spring. To YOU. Sing, Shine and have a great time in Milan tonight, Fantastic Bird! Vera da Pozzo, Paris, 9th March 2026. Poem above and photos below by me.

Because Alma always matters! See You tomorrow in Zurich, Morrissey: The Hall is ready and there are plenty of posters on its glass windows, and also on the artist and the backstage doors.

Another fantastic concert yesterday night, and so happy it was during school holidays, otherwise I could have not attended it. Screenshot from my own video of the concert, from the first row, during I just want to see the Boy Happy. These beautiful yellow shirt and flowers do speak books to me. It is always a pleasure to hear and see Morrissey from the first row, fully enjoying his lovely singing and talking voice, his energy on the stage, his passion when he sings and all th

Another sunny day in Lille: I have never been here before and I am happy to stroll and enjoy its beauty before Morrissey's concert tomorrow. I am happy to spend valuable time with my French friends M. and D., who arrived in Lille this afternoon. In 2023 and in 2025 I have met many nice people at Morrissey's gigs and, as they do not live in Paris like me, we are glad to met again when this is possible. Back to my hotel, I took some pictures of the full moon, which attracts me

Above: pictures by M., who has also kindly sent me some beautiful pictures of the concerts in Frankfurt and Esch-sur-Alzette. Merci beaucoup ! Below: a little message to Morrissey from me, written on my diary this morning, in Rotterdam. I have the ticket, but I am still waiting for an appointment for my passport.

Amazona is the third single from the new Morrissey's album Make-up is a Lie . I am glad to have heard the live première at de Doelen, in Rotterdam: Morrissey's smooth and soulful voice and Carmen Vandenberg's energetic guitar playing were a treat. Moreover, even if the lyrics are not by Morrissey, Amazona has a very deep and special meaning to me, thus I am glad that Morrissey covers it. Vera da Pozzo Still in Rotterdam, 27th February 2026 Below: Morrissey while singing Am

I am SO HAPPY!!! It was a great concert in a fantastic venue. I will write about it tomorrow. [well, it will be this Friday evening, because I walked a lot in Rotterdam on Wednesday and Thursday] Thank you, Morrissey! I was so happy to hear the première of Amazona . I wish I could see you again in London this Saturday, but I have just my ticket for the front row and still no passport. The joy of this night in Rotterdam will console me. Your light never goes out!

Rotterdam, de Doelen, sold out. Well done, Silver Boy! See You tomorrow. To YOU Vera da Pozzo Rotterdam, 23rd February 2026 Above: pictures taken this evening. After having enjoyed the wild wind this afternoon, during a long and very pleasant walk in Rotterdam, I was feeling a bit trapped in my warm room at the hotel, so I took another walk in the evening for more fresh air. A guy asked me: "You are lost?" and I would have answered: "Everybody is lost" but I do not think he k

Just some pictures taken by me in Rotterdam this evening, and also a drawing I made in Paris very early this morning. Above: a strange grape of red fruits on a tree. These red lanterns has reminded me that the year of the Horse has just started. I have bravely waited in the cold wind of Rotterdam's night until I have seen, on the screen of de Doelen, the announcement of Morrissey's gig: a short from Suedehead 's video clip, directed by Tim Broad . Written by Morrissey and St

Thank God, I am on school holidays and on the road again. Above: Paris, Gare du Nerd - I mean, Gare du Nord. Below: it seems that the only vegan porridge I am allowed to enjoy is this one, made and served by a Spanish or Spanish-speaking guy in Paris, at the Europe's busiest railway station .
