Well thanks all for coming and making it a great weekend. I have some wonderful memories.

Before I forget -

Thanks to:

Ben and Sharon for being the folk-friendly hosts from heaven (as well as being really special people for the last few years to us locals - they will be sorely missed by EVERYONE)

Everyone who came and participated and gave and shared - wonderful.

Pip for his song - we'll get it right in time.

Merry, Christine and everyone else who made Lynne the happiest person in the world singing beautiful harmonies all afternoon. Desperately need someone local to fill that gap!

Mick for being Mick. :)

Mary for singing even though there more than 6 people in the room.

The violinists (Donald and Richard) for playing beautifully and tastefully.

Carol for requesting me to sing a song (nobody's ever done THAT before) and then delicately telling me I had sang it to a different tune. And also for a very risque song...

Ted for being a top barman (I have the pictures) and NOT managing to divert Zander from his true path - somewhere between Joe Satriani and jazz (though you did try in those few short minutes!)

Maggie and Les. Especially Maggie for buying that strange star shaped thing that we gave to the jumble sale this morning.

And I could go on and on.

Nice memories.

Hangover tomorrow.

Thanks all - see you at the next somewhere.
