The old Miskin Magic has worked again - and better than ever before. Three days of wonderful fare for absolutely everyone - singers, dancers, musicians, kids, performers, spectators. And what a friendly bunch both providing and consuming all the offerings, under the expert and benign control of Andy Jillie and Jo.

And special thanks and hugs from me to the Lynnettes (Linnets?). When I made a request on Friday for Rock My Heart to be sung sometime over the weekend, little did I expect that it would lead to the formation of a new group to learn, rehearse and perform the song in time for Sunday night. Ladies, your performance was absolutely spine-tingling, and I am absolutely speechless that you would go to such lengths. You have made a happy man very old :-)

Miskin truly does go that extra mile. Many thanks to every one of you who came and helped to make the last four days one of the most magical times.
