Gillie still posing as magician - ahg I hate computors (sometimes!) -- smashing time in Whitby, meeting lots of catters and otherwise. Good to meet Joe, Susan and Dick,had some great singing and sessions in the Tap and Spile.

From there went down with Col K to Bridgnorth: had a fantastic weekend just chilling and wandering around the site, meeting new people and old friends. Highlight must be Jabadaw and of course meeting more mud-catter's that I had not meet before i.e. Green Man and lady, Noreen, Abuwood and Alan W - talking of which Alan's beard was plaited on the Monday night by myself, a short while later he came to find me, and complained that he felt as if I had bought his feminine out and could could I put it right!! Great fun was had by all onlookers whilst I re-arranged beard into a more suitable style.

Eventualy arrived back home, delayed by a broken clutch cable on Wednesday tea-time courtesy of Col K. Many thanks to a good friend. Magician poorly, but has picked up a little since we arrived back. Good to be home.

Col K retuns home tomorrow and then is off on his travels again on Friday to Fylde and then on to Hull Maritime. Regards to all.
