Jill & Roger, welcome indeed. Francophones are welcome to enter the 'Niort9' pronounciation competition, which is being judged by the lovely and absent Dr Fibs.

I am never coming to France again, after my grenuoille was summarily executed by the judges. Harumph.

Thank you both so much for hosting such a wonderful event. The highest praise in the Hull lexicon is that something was 'really nice'. It was really nice.

We are now back safe and sound and enjoying an appreciative feline reception. We had a week in the Netherlands after the Mudgathering, observing the 60th anniversary of the liberation with a group of Canadian veterans, and walked in our front door about an hour ago.

Thanks for the photos Andy. I really must learn not to put my hands in my pockets when I sing.

Thanks to Richard and Pat for organizing everything and to Jill and Roger for being gold medal hosts.

There were so many good memories from this weekend that I hate to single one out, but I will never forget having to leave early on Sunday night and being marched to our car by Wilfried, playing Muss i denn on the harmonica.

I hope to see some of you at the Getaway.

Edmund

Well it looks like I'm the last one to make it home. Arrived back in Lairg at about 15:30 today,tired happy, and with a van full of booze. We went down to Andorra by small roads and byways, and back up to visit friends near Alencon by the same means, a great trip but nowhere else did we get the lovely weather we had a La Garenne unfortunately. We even had snow in Andorra plus it was a national holiday [Ascencion Day] so the roads were very busy, and the duty free shops were choc a bloc.
I second everything that has been said about how wonderful the weekend was, loved the surroundings too, and would go back there in the blink of an eye. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jill and Roger in particular, and Richard and Pat too, it was lovely to meet you all.
Well met by moonlight, to twist a phrase.
