After 18 years Jorn and I were back at the place where our relationship really started in Montauk. I rented one of these cottages for the month of September in 2005 and Jorn came to see me for the week from Berlin. It was amazing to be there again and relive all those memories. Montauk forever!

On November 29th, the band and I will perform at the legendary Carnegie Hall, where I did my Judy shows back in 2006 and 2016

Jorn, Siegfried and I went on the most beautiful walk yesterday in the north of the Isle of Skye called Quiraing. It was about 10 miles up very steep hills and into a hidden valley that reminded us of Shangri-La. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and honestly it is probably in the top two of most amazing walks we have done and we love going on hikes. It is our first time really immersing ourselves in the Scottish landscape and it is truly overwhelmingly and stunningly beautiful. What an incredible country Scotland is. First these two sold out shows and then we are spoiled with nature and delicious food and wonderful people.
