It is wonderful reading your personal diary Max.
You paint such wonderul pictures with your relaxed commentary and acute observations.
I look forward to hearing much more and hope you thoroughly enjoyed The MudGather in The Endeavour with Les and Maggie tonight as part of their singaround/playaround session.
I know that it can be a bit crowded and noisy in there at times but I am sure that you will have enjoyed the whole experience and will have been made very welcome indeed by Les and Maggie and everyone there.
Man, You must be buzzing and have a huge grin on your face!

The next official MudGather at 4.00pm on Wednesday in The Board Inn (East side, on the left of the cobbled street and near the 199 steps up to the Abbey) should be a bit quieter and more sedate affair where you should have the opportunity to get to know fellow Mudcatters even better and do some more floor spots to wow us all.

I have always loved Whitby as a seaside town. It has a very special place in my heart and the Whitby Folk Week Festival is something else altogether!

And from your diary posting above Max I can tell that Whitby and the Festival is weaving it's special majic spell on you too.
It really is a place you will always remember with a glow in your heart and will wish to return to time and time again.

And guess where I am heading tomorrow?   Why Whitby of course!
I'm almost all packed up and ready to go.
Yippeeeee!
