Aha, more dreaded chocolate en route, Fantastic!

Thanks to MiskinMan for putting up soundy bits up for me, but I confess I'm cringing already & planning on retaping before finalising the CD. Don't listen to them!

Woah!! hold on there girl. A live performance is something special that can never be re-created in the studio. When I listened to "The Dutchman" I could see you singing and almost feel the room around me. It had Jillie in tears as well, we were linked by the magic of MSN when I sent it to her. We must chat at Miskin.

It was very moving Hilary, and when I listened several more times I was crying even more. I think most people are critical of their own voice.

Oh bugger! Thanks you two, but apologies for the tears, much prefer to know about smiles!

The Dutchman is kinda special though, it took 3 weeks of learning before I could sing it without bursting into tears - and then the first time I sang it out (Mudgather Banbury 2004) I started bawling my eyes out & couldn't finish the last verse. Aren't there some wonderful songwriters out there....

But back to the plot - there will soon be special offers on Easter Eggs in the supermarkets so look out for those raffle prizes!

Ok Ok, so we are an international festival I was born in Surrey of an Irish Mother and English father. I lived in Hampshire then Wales. I have strong Suffolk links, an Italian Ex father in law. My sister lives in Morocco I have Aunts in Australia and Canada, and friends everywhere this side of the moon - and some who think they are on the other side!

Ah - a snag. Mr Shea the caravan maintenance genius can't do stuff for me until May the 8th, so I am going to have to live without properly functioning cold tap fridge and gas fire! Not ideal in April. I spy a double dose of sleeping bags coming on. Happily the water heater and shower appear to be OK, and I think I can fix the water pump myself...

One Year at Sidders, some famous (well, I didn't know who she was) cookery writer turned up in The Swan. It was decided that we'd have a culinary competition to see who could produce (and eat) the world's worst combination of foods. The winner was Whelks in Cocolate Sauce.......I reckon you should all check that out at Miskin this year - special Easter Brekkie surprise!

Speaking of Easter brekkie - are we bringing bonnets and do you need stuff for decoratin' the tree this year?

Dear daughter, hmm sounds good so far. Yes to bonnets please bring bonnets and stuff for tree I will remember to cut a suitable branch. I also hope to re-instate the pace egging which has got a bit lost in the general kerfuffle for a couple of years.

Pace egging - that sounds like a good idea.

What about a mummers' play? I can probably find a script somewhere if anyone would be interested in (a) performing and (b) watching it.

Last year was the first one I missed for years and years and years....did you not have pace egging? Nor the egg and spoon race?

You naughty boy! I wish to run (or possibly waddle/limp/drag myself) across the field, spoon held high, racing for glory...... I clearly need a holiday........

I'd love to take part in your mummers play, Schantieman

And - as for Herbaceous Border -
Last year we 'danced on the Friday when the sky turned black'; it seems a Good (Friday) tradition to keep up, so hopefully we can do the same this year. Anyone know what time sunset it that day? (Or we could aim at dusk)

Look out for posters giving that and other dance times. Anyone can join in even if they've never done any border morris dancing before - bring your tatters if you have them.

So - come and dance - or come play for us. On the Fri eve the tune will obviously be 'Lord of the Dance' so let's have a huge band!
