Yes it is the same Brian and Christine, next year we are 60, retire and celebrate our ruby wedding 2010 could be a goodu'n. You are right about Dave Smith, we still get a Christmas card from him and his sister, Anne. Not much of a club scene around here some good sessions (music mainly). We have spent the last 30 years organising Straw Bear Festival and dancing Morris and Sword (not much dancing now but check out my Junior longsword team "Sir Harry's Sword" indeed champions of folly) I would also like to return to the song but there are so few outlets now, ho hum, what goes around comes around. Glad to see you are out and about perhaps we will catch you at a festival next year. you can E mail me direct on strawbear@btinternet.com if you wish Gan Canny Brian
