Don't think I will be able to make it VT. I head north to Newark today and my 'parents' AKA my son and daughter have decreed that I will stay n that part of the world until Boxing Day, as they reckon that bouncing back down south would not be sensible. I have a suspicion that my car keys might go missing if I try. :0)

Seriously though, it looks as if the weather could be bad, so I'll restrict my wandering to the general area. Hoping to get to Gainsborough on Friday if all goes well.

I really enjoyed Bracknell. Given the standard of the floor singers I felt priviledged to be given a chance to sing. The guest artistes, Soiree, were well worth the visit - beautiful voices and great guitar work. They even did The Lockkeeper, as good as Kendall's version in a different way.

I'm now sitting on the couch with my son's crazy dog ( half Staff Bull, half greyhound - go figure!) cuddling in and snoring beside me.

When I've finished with the computer I've got to pack the bags and head round the M25 and A1 to Newark!
