Sounds just like our very own Lickey Hills. They have a famous incline, you can go up on a train, if you're so inclined.

No - they be a wild mountain place close to Barton-Le-Clay

Higher than several football pitches huddled together under Nelson's column

You could take off from the turgid chalk, and fly due east direct to the Russian Urals, without bumping your head (once)

'My senses numb'

Did you know I'm Breezy's love child and I was left to die on Sharpenhoe Clappers

Nurtured by a Canadian goose, I was suckled by a rabbit and taught algebra by a squirrel

I have returned

And soon I will reclaim my capo

I'm confused

Breezy and Guru have been in Cornwall/Bude for folkie things the past week

And you have been passing on messages from them

How did you do that without being there?

Are you a secret texter?

Thank you Ross, Red was a very good boy and we're off again this weekend to do it all again.

We are the folkaholics three
Buy us a beer and we're good company
And we'll sing you a song and play you a tune
Listen to music all round the room

Follow us, follow us, folow us down

Cheers to all last night - Cathy, MK John, Hitchin John, Steve + family, Keith, Eve and Mark

Well done PA and red - sorry for the delay

It's a shocker really - I thought he (scrump/paul) was over the worst

He had made some amazing steps forward in the past month

I suppose it just shows how fragile the human body is

It's very sad

I'll email Alan the messages

Are you all still down in Bude?

Sorry to do this but here is a message about Scrump

It's pretty devastating news from Alan Hewson:

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you my wonderful friend Paul Gunningham (Scrump) died from a heart attack at 8.30 this morning.

We don't know why this happened. Paul brought a lot of pleasure to everyone who knew him. He was a kind and gentle man, modest, witty and widely talented. I will miss him more than I can say.

There will be a post mortem. I will let you know what the funeral arrangements will be in due course.

Yours

Alan Hewson

Afternoon everybody.

Cathie, yep Uncle Red got a nice blue rosette (first red, second blue, third yellow, fourth green, and so its goes down to 6th) points are awarded ie 7 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd etc etc, until September when the person with the most overall points in each class gets a trophy. Its all kept very complicated in order to confuse us, and stop us querying the judges decision.

I scoffed and drank more or less what I wanted when pregnant, had a ceasarian (cant spell) and then bottle fed Tim, so according to the 'experts' he had absolutely no chance of making it past his first 12 months. He's now a strapping 6ft 16 year old who swims, rides, windsurfs, ordinary surfs, sails and plays rugby. All that and a veggie too! Poor kid - he's so neglected!

Glad you enjoyed Chelsea, Ross, have you come back with lots of ideas for your garden.

Pouring and hailstones in Worcestershire, has been since Saturday night!

Still hot and sunny in Stevenage and hopefully Chelsea.

Well done PA - Do you get a trophy/ribbon/prize? Extra treats for Mr Red.

Do you see in the news there are recommending no drinking if you are trying to have a baby. Soon they will be advocating no sex.

I am so glad I was able to take responsibility for my own pregancies - ate, smoked etc at my own decision, despite the threat of small babies. My twins were 8.4 and 7.13 and my third was 10.7 oz.
There was only Miriam Stoppard who knew it all - and she never brought up her own kids anyway - she had nannies.

That's my high horse that makes me see red.

Enough of that.......

Thank you Cathie, it was worth the journey we came 2nd and I beat my trainer and her new horse.!!! Just when I thought Red was getting a bit old for all this stuff.

They have a whole display of bug eating plants at Chelsea - watch out Ross dont go sticking your finger in anything.

Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday.

I asked my son for football result....'Milan' he muttered, 'read the signs Mum'. That must have referred to his storming about.

It's mostly acrobats & and hoards of junglers all simultaneously throwing things like cement mixers to furious bing bonging of Chinese music.......

that will set you up well for Winkwell.

It's hot here - I work in a glass house with one fan and windows that open 10 degrees in case you throw each other out of them.

There are no animals in a chinese circus

Blimey - I was gonna wear wellies to Chelsea

Yes, Red will look quite smart cos its dressage. We'll try anything to take the judges attention of our performance.

Chelsea sounds like fun but wear sensible shoes. Dont really like the Mars garden that won the award, I'm more of a cottage garden person. What will you be doing in the circus? Lion Taming?? dont put your head in his mouth if he looks hungry.

House boats always sound lovelly, but how do you know if your foundations have gone - do you get that sinking feeling.

What nationality is Cathie's other leg?

As they say in Russia - Moscow, work to do.

Are they like the weather girl & boy who won't come out at the same time (Paul & Jasper)

Lucky you - have you braided their tails and permed their manes

I'm off to Chelsea Flower show tomorrow, then a play Saturday night in Bedford and a Chineses circus in Hemel Hempstead on Sunday followed by the Winkwell singalong, then I'm going to visit Bert on his house boat on the River Ouse on Monday

Many thanks to all last night including Derek, Tony, MK John, Stevi, Hitchin John, Davina, Geoff, Yvonne, Rose, Rita, Jess, Richard, Bert, Pat, Keith, Geoff, Eve, Bob, Leona and crowd at the bar

Excuse me !!!!! Yes that last joke was heading into dangerous territory. Speaking as someone who was born in Dublin, you are skating on extremely thin ice.

However, as I left when I was about 6 months old my husband says I'm only Irish by default.

Very muggy in Worcestershire. Where's Cathie did she go to her meeting. Hope she didnt take my advice and got herself fired !!!

Hi everybody - it's sunny today in Biggleswade

MM says I must get everthing out in the open if I want to get on

It's folk/acoustic tunes and songs around the room this Wednesday at the Bull in Barton-Le-Clay - 23rd

Winkwell is this Sunday afternoon - 27th

Then the following Thursday - 31st

Then King Harry is following Tuesday (two weeks from today) - 5th

CHARITY DAY IS SATURDAY THE 23RD at the Bull Barton Beds - Guests confirmed for the evening are John Breeze, Chris Flegg, Folkaholics, Mel/Trish/Zoe and Steve Last

If Doctor Who could face the sun to save the girlie - why couldn't he just walk into the hot room and get the Tardis?

Wouldn't you before you collide?

Thank you Cathie, yes I'm much better. Interestingly when I had my tonsilitis thingumy, I have just found that a neighbour had a similar infection but a lot worse. This coincided with a local farmer spraying the fields next to our's (and my neighbour's) with amonium sulphate (sorry if its spelt wrong) to kill germinating rape seed which had blown on to his land from another farm. We think that may have been the cause as every time we coughed we both could taste amonia and thought we were imagining it! We're both much better now but I still have slightly yellow eyelids! And you thought Dr Who was strange!

I cured my boss of late meetings - I just take the time off (time + half) the following morning. He only did it once.

Worcestershire weather is wonderful !

All that ceilidh business sounds exhausting - far too much rushing around for my liking.

Dr Who has always been abit odd. My ol' man recons they keep loosing the middle two pages of the scipt, and nobody has noticed yet.

Mystic Meg on Line !! ??? I thought that was Ross. I'm a Russell Grant girl, meself.

Hello Fellow Chunkie Bum Bartoners,

Doctor Who was a bit weird - all a bit Goldfinger meets Moonraker really. The man in the escape pod looked a bit disappointed that he wasn't going to spend his last dying moments in ecstasy, but by having to listen to Martha ring her Mum! For Goodness sake.

How can you have a collision impact with the Sun - I thought it was made of gases. I think I missed the plot there.
