Wonderful week, as usual, despite be berated by Lynne at Ashby FC on Friday night for having a boring Mudcat name - so I've changed it! Thanks to Mick P for the inspiration.

Was unsure about the upper middle bar but it worked well - although you had to go to the garden for a decent pint. At least the MBS still have a pub!

Ham concerts were excellent - no ticket this year but staying within PA range! Did you know it was JK's birthday?

I thought it sad that the promenade was taken over by traders pushing out the dancers and (folky) buskers but I know at least one of the many festival directors is onto that.

Thanks to the Hills for laughing during Doom, Gloom and Despondency. The rest of you are taking it much to seriously!
