Never been to Alton Towers in my life, Jim - my idea of absolute hell!

When I said I'd been away, I meant 'away from Mudcat'. I've been trying to wean myself off this mad-house, and this is about the longest I've ever managed.

But, if you regard sessions, a singaround or two, playing a couple of gigs, and attending an Archie Fisher concert as 'nice' (and I do!), then I've been to several 'somewheres nice'!

TTFN. I'll try not to be back, but I can't guarantee it.
