Sinsull-

It really was a wonderful party!

One Stallion (Peter) and his lovely wife Jo did make it up to Richmond (Maine) late this morning. We made some sandwiches for lunch and then went on the road to the coast, dropping off some Roll & Go CD's at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, driving out across the bridges to Georgetown Island where my mother's farm is, her house stuffed with her art work. We then nosed around the village marina in Robinhood village, and down to Reid State Park, a beautiful mile-long beach with rocky headlands, then over to Five Islands village to admire the public dock and the fishing harbor. Then we motored back to Bath and down to Bailey's Island, down more winding peninsular roads, to Cooks Sea Food Restaurant, just in time for the sunset. We settled in with a plate of mussles and two bottles of wine, and then large red lobsters. The Yorkshire folks were quick learners in the art of disassembling lobsters; the poor crustaceans didn't stand a chance! Then we motored back to Richmond and lazed about the studio talking about music and politics.

Tomorrow they're off on their own while we do our final packing for the trip to Australia.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
