I can sing, "The Cruel Sister", in Norwegian! At Miskin, for you, if I get the chance.

P'raps we should have a, "Foreign Language Song Workshop".
Now there's a thought. And a, "Foreign Tune Session" too?
Ah! But, then being in Wales, English would be included. Or would it?

Vanwatch continutes!

The caravan shop has sold me the wrong size isolator valve, so I'm off to find another today.

Cold tap working (mostly) heater working (mostly) fridge working (mostly), so that leaves (apart from that isolator valve) one interior light fitting, a shelf modification, check the tail lights and then start cleaning and packing!.

Just back from "gigging" Spain and England (workshops in Mendlesham, Suffolk actually, Andy) to find the place in turmoil. Still be there though. All the way from Scandinavia. So, if it wasn't before, it is international now! See you soon.

At Christmas my 11 year old daughter, Amber played the part of St George, with a sword almost twice her height! She slayed an enormous Turkish Knight and was a show stealer. Girls are great at Mumming!!!!!(though I admit I may be a little biased!)

As I'll already be mumming with Shakespeare Mummers at Crediton Folk Festival, and again on St George's Day, another one in between might hardly be noticed.

And there should be most of the Mari Llwyd crew there too.

- and I thought I was going to have to sing "Watches" by myself! Looking forward to it Chris - delighted that the 'exigencies of the Service" will allow.

Any more takers for mumming? If two of us are going to play all the parts (a) it'll be exhausting and (b) it's scarcely worth hunting for the script.

Yes! we appear to have gas fridge operation too. Whether it will cope with summer temperature, who knows? But it ought to keep the beer cool enough for Easter!!

I now only need a gas isolator valve for the fire since the "off" setting is suspect, proper mastery of the "workround" for the cold tap microswitch, the slow puncture fixed, and a means to store ALL those instruments since we are now sorted for Jeff to come too.

Heater heating. Turning off is another matter, but there are ways...
Fridge fridging on mains electricity. Whether it will cope with summer heat another matter. Tomorrow we try it on gas...

We have a workround on the tap microswitch.

That leaves some shelving and figuring out how optimally to store the guitars, and the slow puncture.

Out shortly to see whether I can make any more progress with fixing gas heater. If you hear reports of a conflagration in North Kent, it might be me!

Maybe I can start a "vanwatch", like Capella's "Chickwatch" at the Pige Ear last year....

Micca - what a wonderful link for the sunrise/sunset times. Last year (new to the internet), when trying to find sunrise times for Upton on Mayday, I could only come up with sites with incredibly complicated formulae to calculate. I gave up!

This one is just so easy. I've even navigated the map and come up with Miskin itself so, bearing in mind it will be British Summer Time, this year the times are:-

Sunset at Miskin on Good Friday 20.09.36
Sunrise at Upton on May Day    5.36.49 (and, yes, we aim to dance under the bridge at Upton from 5.30am!) [Sorry. Slight thread creep]

On second thoughts Lynne, you win Ill join you in that feast and add Hot chocolate (avec rum) with chocolate flakes on top.
Cheers, Lucy
Who will definately be at miskin this year and wants to dance when the sky turns black.
PS Hils I have my chocolate for the raffle, if Hawker doesn't find it.
