You know you'd have been made welcome, John.

I'm still humming and smiling; spilling over with delight with the folk and the music. I've said it before, but it's worth the retelling: This is a special community with local kindness and music drawing in treasured visitors and friends from afar... such a wealth of songs and people were gathered together last night!

Sins, my friends who got me there are 2 from down the road and the next town crosslots from our farm- Brigid and Linda.

Thank you to those who gave encouragement for the singing I could offer last night. This is THE place where I can try out songs, and I am grateful. Thank you to Sinsull, Jacqui and Kendall, Deborah and Tom...and the rest of yez.

I hope to see our out-of-town visitors before they vanish again.
