Well, here I am, back home on my own computer, rather than the laptop of the Lard Magnate.

We had a little live link up on the Chat, with Micca, EmmaB and Rumanci, but had to cut it short because the above mentioned Lard Magnate needed to look at his shares.

It was indeed a wonderful weekend, I'm so glad I had my operation before I went though, I'd never have lasted as long as I did!

We continued the tradition of dubious song material... Morticia penned a little number some time ago called 'Oh damn it all, the pipes, the pipes are frozen'..... it went down well, after the initial sharp intake of breath!

The sessions were something to behold... they went on for hours and were incredible.... a few songs were sung, but it was mostly music. I can't remember when last I played so much.

The town of Portaferry is very pretty, the weather was sunny and clear, but cold. The only time it rained was Saturday night, and even that was 'soft', just a small shower. Dawn coming up over the Lough is stunning.

Hopefully the Barholme will be scaffold-less for next year's Poratferry 4 score, the back room of the Fiddlers' is already booked!
