Subject: RE: News from the Germany Mudgathering!
OK, after 12 hours dead to the world, and every joint in my body complaining about a debauched lifestyle at my time of life (shut up and absorb the dose of painkillers), I have a few "flashes" to share.
Noreen driving an Alfa Romeo on the fast lane of the Autobahn, singing, with Skipjack accompaying on the back seat.
The cathedral, with it's soaring architecture, backwards clock,(and the one in Wolfgang's kitchen- thought I'd had a stroke!), and the stone from Coventry cathedral, lest we forget.
The frustration of the traffic jam when we were already late for the ferry home, finally getting there to be told by a boy soldier that the ferry had gone. Ho ho, Dutch humour, had we got any milk products? Hmmm. We didn't mention the chocolate!!!
Eating fresh asparagus in a square in Munster with friends, laughing and talking. We did SO MUCH talking!!!
The spotty youth in charge of the cyber zone trying to work out why a bunch of ageing folkies were crowded around a monitor shouting "ooooh Noooo" and laughing like drains.
There's lots more, and we'll tell you all about it eventually, under the title "do you remember, when we were in Germany..........................?
Thank you so much Wolfgang. I know the anxieties and frustrations of organising a gathering, and now you can get a good night's sleep!!!
Cheers, Bron.
