Had a great time hoofing at all the ceilidhs in the Spa and this year managed to get a full set of 'notches' in my season ticket for attendance. I did Molly and Welsh dance workshops, managed to see Martyn Wyndham-Read a few times and saw Stan Graham for the first time. Got new CDs from both, but haven't been near a cd player yet, so haven't been able to listen to them yet. I watched loads of morris displays around town. I was terribly disappointed that there wasn't any border morris workshops this year, though.

Sadly, I didn't have time to attend the mudgather, so the only catters I met or bumped into were Giok, Bill Sables and Noreen. Would have liked to meet Hils again and say hi to Max, but it weren't to be.

Weatherwise, it's the best Whitby festival I've been to, just the one day of rotten weather.

I have quite a lot of video recorded which will go online once I get it sorted, but it'll be a while as I'll be going away again next weekend for a dance weekend in Denmark.

Best wishes,
Bente
