Just got back from the pub - too tired to cook!
Wow! I am glad I left Cornwall for Easter! How did they fit all those cars in while I was away! a solid 3 lane traffic jam from Wales to about Okehampton! - all going North!
Thank you Andy and Jillie and crew for the usual dose of fun, frolics, fine food and a fabulous Festival.
Highlights came thick and fast, For Me, Jim McAdams melted me with Westlin winds then disolved me into tears when he followed it with 'I Never Found My Eldorado' Mash were stunning and made me wish that I had stuck to attempting to play an instrument when I was younger - Dad you deserve to be rightfully proud! Great to see and hear Capella again. All those friends I have not seen - some for over a year - it's only now I realise how much Ive missed you all! I am miffed to have missed Hilary Ward (Guru) as I has to steward when she was on, but I know I'll catch up with her soon! - and well done with the raffle - you are a star! Sue White and Herbaceous Border - well me and Amber just loved it - Yippeee I can dance again! Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer Yes Yes Yes more please! - and what a lovely couple! and the reason I soooo looked forward to Miskin was Harriet and Colman - and I was not disappointed. Then there was the Colman & Harriet, Vicki & Jonny, Isambarde session at the end of Sunday's concert what a stunning performance - the rehearsal wasnt half bad either! Oooh and the mega tissue event when Andy got presented with a cross stitch picture of the tune Jonny wrote, entitled 'Andy Jackson'
And the late night in the cottage sing with Peter Collins and Moira Craig last night was the greatest way to end the festival for me.
Thank you all who were there it was fun. A special thanks to the Saturday night misicians in the Marquee who played me to sleep in my camper in the car park. I have never has such a wonderful lullaby!
Great to see you Scooby - after tricking us all into thinking you weren't coming! Keep smiling.
So many magic moments I was not surprised to learn that the absent friends trophy was not awarded this year - how on earth could anyone choose!!!!!!
Great to put faces to more mudcat names!
Extended family of Miskinites I salute you all and thank you for your company and conviviality See you all again soon, if not next Easter!
Cheers, Lucy
