As we were leaving last night the "survivors" in the garden struck up The Sailor's Farewell. We got to the car and could hear the singing drifting to us on the night. We had to stop and hear it out - a magical moment.
Thank you Val, Richard, Linda and everyone for a great day.

Dipsodeb - I asked because he was stonking good at the blues harp and because I became confused (partly from cider) because I thought he was with you, when you left with Woodsie, he stayed.

I think I was introduced to him at the same time introduced to you? People and events are filtering slowly through the Jacques fogged brain.

Thanks for a great day sorry I had to leave earlier than planned. VT the guy sat next to Woodsie was Big Pat my husband I know not why you ask so answer this with some trepidation as I expect he was one of the ones who was very very slaughtered as Richard mentioned.
Val you have a very lovely house and gardens, you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful and peaceful place.... Yuk I hate living in London!

I caught a cider hangover. Ugghh! That Jacques fruit stuff is very sneaky.

TheSilentOne is still abed and he drank only a glass and a half of soemthing. But his is not sorehead. Sheer exhaustion from the past weeks of Osted, EdExcel verification, marking, visiting his parents and occasional folking.

I met and got to know more Catters - My guru always said, BillyBob and Dipsodeb. That Ben was amazing and I kept my eyes riveted to his fingers. Who was the fellow with the blues harp, next to Woodsie?

It was a top gathering. I wept on 3 separate occassions. No Worries caught me off guard with "THE" song. And the recording of Dave Bryant doing Grey Funnel Line. So sorry I missed meeting this man and then began thinking about the others I wished I'd known, etc. and wishing you all might of met Andie. She would have knocked your socks off, and not just musically. I can't remember what other song got to me.

Oddly enough I didn't cry when we sent the lanterns. Thank you for letting me dedicate one to Andie.

There were a couple of moments of chorus interrptus, which always makes me feel better when I flub up a song. Last half hour or so was fantastic with loads of rousing chorus songs. Always glad to hear Kev the Clogs sing the moving ones.

Thanks to all for inviting us. See you soon at Essex Girl's BBQ. Hope you all enjoy the Pig's Ear

It was an excellent event. We sent off 5 wish lanterns.

We also drank ALL the beer and MOST of the cider. There may be a "before" picture on someone's phone showing the garden shed looking like the beer shelves in a well-stocked specialist beer shop, and if so I hope it will eventually reach photobucket.

Some people were very very wrecked and there may be some sore heads this morning. You know who you are! I felt awful at 7 am, but managed to get back to sleep again for a couple of hours and now feel much better.

Well I am in a strop this morning. Watermelon is like slimey light pink sponge, mango is disgusting, honeydew over ripe. I am afraid to check the pineapple and strawberries.

Will do a quick ranting trip into Sainsbury's about the state of their fruit and see if I can find substitutes.

Re bringing voices, I may be nattering quietly with folks in various corners throughout the event. I've been losing my voice after one song lately.

Bringing instruments to fiddle around with though. Maybe even the dulcimer.

Pierre - I suddenly remembered why I wanted those strings. Going to redtring little youth guitar to take to work and practice there on lunch hour. Since I cannot mudcat at least that is something constructive. I can hide out in the first aid room or one of the meeting rooms to practice.

See you guys about 1:30 - 2:00.

And if you think about 100 pints of beer and 20 litres of (err-strong) cider are not enough, bring more alcohol.

Unfortunately, the only excuse I have for not attending tomorrow is my own demise and as I am not willing to hasten that I guess I will have to go. I have to say Pierre I am liking the idea of you crashing through the stain glass windows though. If you could persuade Essex Girl to make a small detour that would work for me!!!!

You are welcome. You could present the argument that this is an affirmation of your respect for departed close friends, who are gone and cannot be revived, (and maybe even now wait suspended between heaven and earth for your prayers) whereas you will have frequent future opportunities to assist in the observance of the Christian duties of the new life.

The argument is of course spurious, but it might be specious (look it up).

Sorry to say, we shan't be able to get to this one after all.

Family commitments supervene. One of the things about having an 89 year old father with dementia, is the unpredictable nature of calls to assist. We shall be thinking about you tomorrow, and especially about the absent trio.

Having conned their way through the gates of paradise, I have no doubt they will already have carved an enormous swathe through the musical activities of that realm. Has anyone noticed a sudden upturn in the number of harps offered for sale?

God bless and keep them all. They were special.

Years ago this building was a hospital for rare & tropical deseases. Then It was a hospital for Anerexia suffers. The last patient was a Lena Zavoroni from days behond recall.

Now its a part of the War Museum.

If Richard can walk from Leatherhead to your house, he can walk from Dilligaf's to mine. AND there are no estate agent's signs in the path across the fields...

Ther eare some passing places in the lower road. You would probably be gone before the council could evict (40 foot trailer anyone?). I will drive the road tomorrow and seek warning-off signs...

There is also an area that it might be difficult to evict a van from near the fishing lake in Middle Stoke (a shorter walk).

However, given the forecast, I think Pete the Hat may have the right idea - two bivvi bags would crack it...

Afraid we have no space for caravans only tents which is a shame can't think of anywhere you could stick one round here without upsetting the neighbours and the pub car park will be full on a sunday so not much hope there and don't know whats happening about the farm yard up the road as its no longer used as a farm yard xx

No. The nearest conceivable caravan space is the pub carpark (100 yards) by special arrangement only - you will need to ring Dilligaf. I could (for you) get ONE SMALL caravan (in addition to my own) on my drive, but it is about a mile walk away.

Val, is there any nickable van space at the top of Church Path? My guess is that the farmer would throw hand grenades!
